Does anyone else find it an odd concidence that the current pop troudabours of choice--James Blunt and Daniel Powter--both have songs about Jimmy on their albums? James has "So Long Jimmy," while Daniel has "Jimmy Gets High." Either way, Jimmy seems to be going on a trip. Let's take a closer look at what Jimmy's been up to...
1. Jimmy is a rock singer.
Given that "Jimmy" is a nickname for James, it appears that the Jimmy in question in "So Long Jimmy" is the singer himself, while the "Jimmy Gets High" Jimmy is some kind of rocker--perhaps even James Blunt. Either way, Jimmy is definitely a rock singer.
2. Jimmy is bipolar.
"So Long Jimmy" is all about hanging out with Jimmy--the social guy, while in "Jimmy Gets High," he likes to be by himself. Make up your mind! Don't be a social/antisocial wreck.
3. Other people have a love/hate relationship with Jimmy
In "So Long Jimmy" everyone thinks Jimmy is "the one" when he's singing, but in "Jimmy Gets High" everyone "hates (him) when (he's) living off of rock n roll." Clearly the rock music critics are split on the merits of Jimmy's talent.
4. Daniel and James like Jimmy
Regardless of what other people think, both Daniel and James like Jimmy. Daniel says, "Jimmy you and me we get along awhile," while James says "we were just chillin' on the sofa." Sounds friendly.
