Little Jackie is undersung rapper Imani Coppola and her producer cohort Adam Pallin. Imani sing-raps her way through this, one of the catchiest pop tunes of this and any other year, blowing away myriad chart cobwebs to reach the shaky heights of No.14. It’s a little bit Jackson 5, a little bit Jurassic 5, and a whole load of sarky bravado.
In its honour, Junior stretches her cardigan beyond her mother’s tolerance and does star-jumps. She also makes me do star-jumps. I went to a Christmas party last night. Star-jumps. Ooh dear.
Jukebox Junior 
this is very bland finger-wagging girl-band fare. Sugarbabes in their pomp bland. That overlay vocals is awful.
Junior is having a bad influence on you.
I don’t know where to start.
Your ears are made of pancake.
Well, I like it…brings me out in a big cheesy grin.
Like I know Jack clearly knows jack. The best single I’ve heard in ages. (My ears are made of ear.) But I was horrified to discover it’s a bowdlerised version – the line is “I got talent and I got tits”, which has the advantage of being both funnier and alliterative.
Great blog. Found you on the word, and will definitely be revisiting
That should’ve read “The Word”. Sorry. Past my bedtime.
Good to see there’s support for this one. It’s a beauty.
Cheers for dropping by, Nigel; look forward to seeing you again.
