"Pumps and a Bump" is a song by American rapper MC Hammer from his fifth album, The Funky Headhunter (1994).
"Pumps and a Bump" was the first single off The Funky Headhunter, which represented a departure from Hammer's previous pop image.
[2] The original music video featured Hammer wearing nothing but a Speedo and dancing suggestively alongside numerous swimsuit-clad women, which resulted in it being banned from MTV as it was considered too graphic.

In 2010, American Idol contestant Larry Platt performed his own song titled "Pants on the Ground", which Entertainment Weekly claimed sounded similar to "Pumps and a Bump".
