That phrase is described in a discussion linked through 'the main words' below; but I feel it's more important to understand those words better. And I find that you understand words better when you look at the other words at the bases of the words you're thinking-of ...
The phrase that'll #Pump You Up is ... well, it includes the word Monkey, built on ancient words that mean "Son of the Ape, Auspicious, Woman (My Lady), Affectionately-Disapproving Nickname (ala #CheekyMonkey), to Mock or Mimic (as a #Monkey does)."

The word "Pump" (if not the word for 'the low-heeled, slip-on Shoe,' probably Echoic of someone Walking in the shoes #KeepYourToesInYourPumps) is Imitative of the sound made when someone uses a Plunger in the Water. #Pumps #Pumped #Pumping #PumpAction #Pumper #AirPump #PumpedUp
