Skin In The Gane> jump

[FRITZ JUENGLING]

Larry,
A reall Stones' fan woulda said "The Stones jumped after Tattoo You,"
excluding 'their' and 'album'.

I hadn't encountered "jump" used absolutely in this sense but I would
probably have figured out the reference with enough context, e.g. in
the second of your two examples above; the first of them would have
probably stumped me, and not only because I prefer "Voodoo Lounge"
(1994) and the first half of "Bridges to Babylon" (1997) to "Tattoo
You" (1981), even though arguably it's all been downhill since "Exile
on Main St." (1972).
