According to http://www.lyricsfreak.com/p/paul+simon/the+boy+in+the+bubble_20105881.html the actual lyric is "It's a turn-around jump shot It's everybody jump start It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts" The use of "throws...up" is deliberate and does perhaps matter. Though I note Geary's paraphrase contains a "puts...on" that might be said to work in a similar way.
