Cover Me!: "Jimmy"

I've taken it upon myself to keep this featuring going while CK is away soakin' up the sun. Of Montreal's cover of M.I.A.'s synth-heavy, disco inspired song "Jimmy" treats the song to a little strip down. The slower beat in the remake forces the listener to focus on the words and gives the tune a more desperate feel. While background vocalists screaming "aja!" in the original version sound excited, they now haunt the chorus throughout the song. I'm recommending this song, I still prefer the original.

Of Montreal - "Jimmy (M.I.A. Cover)"

And if you haven't seen the music video of the M.I.A. song, it will blow your mind:
