There may be more than one answer to this question, but the lyrics to "Jump" were part of a skit featuring Chris Farley back in the 90's. Farley was a slacker high school student in an English Literature class, and Phil Hartman played the clueless teacher. The students were given the assignment to write and recite a poem for the class, and each of them simply recited pop/rock song lyrics. Chris Farley recited lines from Van Halen's "Jump," and Hartman's character interpreted it as a suicidal cry for help (as in someone jumping off of a building.)
