"Jumpin' Jack Flash" is a song by English rock and roll band The Rolling Stones and released as a single in 1968. The song is seen by many as a return to the Stones' blues roots after vast experiments on previous works like Between the Buttons and Their Satanic Majesties Request. One of the Stones' most popular and recognizable works, "Jumpin Jack Flash" has been featured in countless films and the Stones live albums Get Yer Ya-Yas Out, Love You Live, and Flashpoint.
One interpretation of the lyrics relates, as allegory, the lifetime of hardships experienced by the song's protagonist to the lengthy legal difficulties that the Rolling Stones had recently experienced. The opening lyrics of "I was born in a crossfire hurricane" refer to being born in war torn World War II Britain. The title phrase is reminiscent of a figure common in blues, "John the Conqueror," to which it might be an allusion. It is also said that the term is the nickname of Scottish politician Jack McConnell. One story revealed by Richards (during a 2003 interview on on The Rolling Stones Four Flicks DVD) has he and Jagger writing the song after being awoken one morning while staying at Richards' country house to the sound of a man walking past the window. When Jagger asked who the man was, Richards responded "Oh, that's Jack, that's jumpin' Jack," Richards' gardener. The song grew from there. Jack Flash is said to be a slang term for heroin in Britain.

whilst i became a lad 60+ years in the past there became a firework called leaping jack, which looked as though it may chase after us in a leaping vogue, and of coarse it flashed sparks because it went off bang with each and each leap.
