GUARDIAN.CO.UK - Jimmy, MIA
MIA covers Abba!? Not quite, though Jimmy does sound freakishly like 70s Swedish disco. This song is a product of MIA's two-year working holiday round the world, which saw her collect exotic beats, add her own post-modern spin, a process which created Kala, the follow-up to 2005's critically-acclaimed Arular. The original inspiration for this track, Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja from the film Disco Dancer, was, and still is, one of the most popular Bollywood songs ever made. M.I.A's version barely changes a thing: Jimmy the rogue is doing women's heads in and over the top of a typically slick, Melodramatic Bollywood soundtrack, MIA takes him to task.
