When Pump Up the Jam was first broadcast, audiences feared it was real, and that jam would be pumped into their homes.

Technotronic got their name by combining the word 'techno', meaning a sort of dance music, and 'tronic' meaning 'tronic'.

The original 12-inch release of Pump Up The Jam came with a free horse.

At 7.16pm on December 28th 1879, Dundee's Tay Bridge collapsed as a train passed over it. 60 passengers lost their lives.

Other musical acts whose names begin with 'T' include The Cure, The Isley Brothers, and The Velvet Underground.
