Talk about a song that leaves the listener wanting more. Joe Jackson's 1991 high energy track, "Jamie G.," is barely over two minutes long but packs considerable infectiousness into that short time. It's a fun, fast workout for piano and drums and likely a blast to sing, as well. Conceivably, it could segue with a mambo.
The first time I heard it, I thought, "The energy level on that track is through the roof. It's a shame it's not longer."
Then, I thought, "Actually, although it wouldn't have hurt to have had a long piano vamp in the middle or at the end, the song says all it needs to say in two minutes. I can't fault it for that."
Fast, catchy hooks are the best kinds of earworms, in my opinion, so I recommended "Jamie G." to anyone who agrees.
