"Pull Up to the Bumper" is a 1981 song by Jamaican singer, songwriter, model and actress Grace Jones, released by Island Records as the third single from her fifth album, Nightclubbing (1981).

Sonically, it is an uptempo[1] electro-disco,[2] post-punk,[3] dance-pop[1] and reggae-disco[4] song with dub production,[5] "pulsing drums and chic new-wave licks",[6] as well as being described as a hybrid of funk and R&B.

The song's instrumental part was originally recorded in 1980 during the Warm Leatherette sessions; however, it did not make the album as Chris Blackwell found its sound not fitting in the rest of the material.

The other, an eight-minute megamix entitled "Musclemix", which included excerpts from tracks like "Warm Leatherette", "Walking in the Rain", "Use Me", "Love Is the Drug" and "Slave to the Rhythm", remains unreleased on CD.

Terry Nelson from Albumism commented in his review of Nightclubbing, "Many critics loved the playful double entendre, but if you were listening carefully, you could tell that it was a pretty blunt statement.

[18] In 2011, The Guardian's Richard Vine ranked the release of "Pull Up to the Bumper" as one of 50 key events in the history of dance music, proclaiming it "one of those rare records that manages to replicate the sensation of actually being in a club.

"[24] The accompanying music video for "Pull Up to the Bumper" is a combination of live footage of Jones performing the song on her A One Man Show merged and edited alongside excerpts from Godfrey Reggio's 1982 experimental documentary film Koyaanisqatsi.

[45] Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Dancehall siren previews her new Whining Skills album with a fairly faithful rendition of the Grace Jones disco/funk chestnut.

"[46] Gil Robertson IV from Cash Box commented, "Lady Patra is back with an intoxicating remake of Grace Jones' classic disco hit.

Girlfriend delivers the goods with an over the top, spicy and provocative cover This track will be an across-the-board winner on several formats and offers a great opener for Patra’s new release, Scent Of Attraction.
