Jimmy Aaja!

I’ll assume you’ve all seen the new video for “Jimmy” by MIA by now. When I first heard the tune I thought it was a mix of the bass from The Gossip’s Standing in the Way of Control and that tune Madonna sampled Abba tune “Hung Up”. I soon found out it was neither of these things as the obvious Bollywood vibe was the source of the cover. Here is the original from a film called “Disco Dancer” featuring an enchanting dancer, a coward called Jimmy and a wall of disco lights.
