We were a bit underwhelmed with M.I.A.'s new single, Boyz, and a few other tunes off her new album, out next month.

However, one song can make it all better. Not just a song - an experience!

Jimmy is pure fire. It's a true sonic journey. So zexy!

Jimmy. Jimmy. Jimmy!!!!!

We knew you still had it in you M.I.A..

Enjoy the song below.

      Hmm. Probably just need to hear it a few more times to let it grow on me. I bought Boyz and put it in some playlists to force myself to listen to it and now I freakin' love it.

      Wow, to all people who are saying M.I.A. copied the song off of another and it's exactly the same; are you too fuckin' stupid to see it's a cover. Ferserious. All ya'll just hatin' on her for no reason. Lames.

      Ewww…That has to be the worse song on the album. It's completely over produced and wimpy. Any pop princess out there can sound just like that. What a disappointment from MIA.

      "#49 - Meg says:

      OMG…THIS IS A RIP OFF OF AN INDIAN SONG!! WELL KNOWN FROM THE 70s, OUR VERSION IS ALSO CALLED JIMMIE."

      "#31 - what a biter says:

      SHE TOTALLY STOLE THIS SONG FROM DISCO DANCER!! It is an almost exact copy of an Indian song…..too bad they don’t have copyright laws out in India"

      It's called a 'cover song', you morons!

      123

      Every major artist has sampled and covered; she's not stealing…she definately made it her own. M.I.A. brings it down every time she's in front of a mic…if only everyone could be so original & honest…she's hot and you're just jealous…

      This question is a bit out there, but does anybody know what's the song MIA performed on Conan O'Brien's show back in 2005?

    40. Sounds Proterrorism to me... says – reply to this


      140

      Read her lyrics to Sunshowers… Dont u think it sounds like she is supporting suicide bombing?
      its a bomb yo
      so run yo
      put away your stupid gun yo
      'cos we see through like a protocol call
      thats why we blow it up 'fore we go

      the sunshowers that fall on my troubles
      are you over my baby
      and some showers I'll be aiming at you
      'cos i'm watching you my baby

      semi-9 and snipered him
      on that wall they posted him
      they cornered him
      And Then Just Murdered Him

      he told them he didn't know them
      he wasn't there they didn't know him
      they showed him a picture then
      ain't that you with the muslims?"

    41. MIA= LTTE Supporter says – reply to this


      141

      Also to the people who say "She hasn't even talked to her father. She doesnt support him", the name of her album is also his LTTE (Terrorist Org.) CODENAME for christsakes….

      Jimmy is actually from an old indian movie, "disco dancer" i think.

      143

      Good jesus people.

      She redid this song because she use to sing it in her childhood. It doesnt matter if you dont like her, just stop blasting her for stupid shit. HER SONGS ARE NOT THAT SAME CARBON COPY SHIT OUT THERE, AND SHES NOT A TERRORIST, NOT SANJAYA.. but thats kind of funny.

      This song is brilliant and so much fun. Thx Perez!

      You should do a blog about Diplo, too. Just for the hell of it.

      145

      It's all about Boyz, Jimmy, Bamboo Banger, $20 and Paper Planes. M.I.A. is comin back with Power Power…(yes I said it!) Buy the album boys and girls, August 21st.

    48. Sarah says – reply to this


      148

      um people its called a sample. she didn't steal it. people cover songs all the time. plus, let her promote and say whatever she wants in her songs. i loe how political she is. and this is dance music taken to a new level. listen to her lyrics once in a while. and don't take it so figuratively.
