That first line "pretty woman walking with gorillas down my street" is just one of the most hysterical lyrics in music.

[@surlechapeau]

agreed. Another one with some funny lyrics is "Kinda Kute".

[@lisalovemc717]

@@surlechapeau I'm not familiar with that one. I'll have to check it out.

Amber, you mentioned he really sounds like the 90s... that just proves how much of a visionary Joe Jackson was... this song came out in 1979.

"Breaking Us In Two" is the next Joe Jackson song to check out.

[@peterandjunko]

Be my number two is a nice accompaniment to that.

[@chrisoakley5830]

Great song.

Agreed, I learned to play the piano part to "Breaking Us In Two". Great tune.

[@amandagray3694]

Yassss...but also it's different for girls is a fave! ❤

[@dongiovanni6796]

moving forward in time to the album Body and Soul, and the impassioned duet "Happy Endings". Great jazz-pop.

[@CPny65]

Such a classic opening line. "Pretty women walking with Gorillas down my street". I've been waiting for this one. Thanks for the Smiles

[@rachelharrison7961]

Surpassed by “If looks don’t count for much, there goes your proof”

[@jksgameshelf3378]

The entire "Look Sharp" album is fantastic and this song is part of Joe's punkier origin story but his staggering talent took him into other directions, all of it amazing. There are also some BANGERS in his catalog, including much of the first two albums (this song is one of the few slower songs) and Graham Maby, the bass player, is amazing on every track.

[@melprophet1936]

Yep. I like all his various albums, but those first two are still my favorites by him.

[@jameswhite7139]

Boy this brings back memories.

[@Docjonel]

Yes! His first two albums, Look Sharp! and I'm the Man, are classics in my collection. Fantastic stuff.

[@kellypedersen6590]

The entire band on his first 3 albums is tight, but Graham's Maby's bass work is amazing.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Exactly!

[@keithrfield]

a long not along. Two words. :)

[@barblibrarian]

I am 66 years old and often comment that too much of my brain is taken up with lyrics.

[@abashal]

Bassist Graham Maby is one of the best out there! He really tears the bass lines in Jackson’s songs like “I’m the Man” and “Sunday Papers”!

[@wpollock1]

So true! He is a beast!

[@kraig7777]

Those are great songs!

[@ScottKornfeld]

Sunday Papers is a favorite bof mine but will they even know what those are (were)?

[@donlee1534]

The bass was the first thing that hooked me when I first heard Joe Jackson. My favorite Graham Maby bass line (among his many magnificent ones) was on “Fridays” from the “I’m The Man” album.

[@Xiroi87]

Just recommended I'm the Man before seeing your post.

[@EarmonkeyMusic]

The thing about Joe Jackson is that he’s a consummate musician and never sticks with one thing. Albums are less important these days than they were back when he was releasing them but he will give you a solid adventure through songwriting and musicianship.

[@LoPet6225]

I knew that opening bass line was going to get Jay...lol...and the humor in the lyrics. Joe Jackson is an artist.

[@BoricuaBox]

“Breaking Us In Two” is my favorite Joe Jackson song.

[@DanMcClinton]

I think Stepping Out is one of the most romantic songs of that era, I definitely think it deserves a second listen. You Can’t Get What You Want is another to give a listen to.

[@suemcglone2151]

I suggested it last time so I'll give it another plug here - 'It's Different For Girls.' 1979 It's basically Joe playing around with male/ female stereotypes / relationship expectations and role reversal. Clever - and definitely a track that stood out for me back then as a 13/14yr old. It just had a very 'different' sound. And very moody! Different for Girls and Is She Really Going Out With Him are his best songs imo.

[@TopoGigio555]

I was thinking the very same thing. I love that song!

[@michelleb9808]

Aw I LOVE that song!!! Prob my JJ favorite

[@fizbiz115]

I’ve always loved this song. It has such a cool and different vibe.

[@kolchak3578]

My favorite Joe Jackson song. It’s very simple yet very smart at the same time. Love it! ♥️

[@allanbluzdude]

Agree!

[@donlee1534]

It’s deceptively simple. In many ways, it’s pretty complex and a very clever piece of songwriting.

[@PianoDentist]

@@donlee1534 Yes agreed. Both the chorus and particularly the bridge uses some interesting chords that all work real nice together in contrast with the basic verse progression.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you’ll love his “Look Sharp”, "Sunday Papers" and “I’m The Man”!!!! (the bass is Thumping on "I'm The Man" !!) edit- 1979, one of the great debut albums, in my top 10 all-time. Graham Maby on bass!!

[@Guildofarcanelore]

I was thinking Jay would like “I’m the man!”.

[@elcorado83]

I often wondered about the effect of Elvis Costello on Joe Jackson and vice versa-they both sometimes sounded similar...

[@elcorado83]

But the best, and the next song, no argument, MUST be "Different For Girls". No question!

[@MaryellenAzack]

100%

[@jethro1963]

As someone who has lost half his family young to cancer, somehow I like his song Cancer. "There's no cure there's no answer, everything gives you cancer"

[@paulcwalina7910]

Absolute classic from the 80's and it holds up so well. His live version is also very good.

[@MikePhillips-pl6ov]

Actually was 1979! But agree with you, it holds up really well.

[@paulcwalina7910]

@MikePhillips-pl6ov Good gravy. It was actually first released in 1978 and re-issued in 1979. I'm getting too old. I honestly thought it was 1980.

[@geoffreyfletcher9426]

1977 actually

[@haydendegrow945]

I absolutely love this song! It is fun to sing along to, and has a strong beat to jam with. It never ceases to be classic rock!

[@84moondance]

This Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello's "Alison" were two of my all-time favorite songs I listened to toward the end of the 1970s. Many thanks for playing this song and I'm so glad you both enjoyed it. If you want to try another Joe Jackson song from the "Look Sharp!" album, try listening to "Fools In Love," I promise you both won't be disappointed. :)

[@chrisoakley5830]

Those two artists have always reminded me of one another, there's something about the two of them that is similar.

[@billherman7294]

​@@chrisoakley5830completely agree

[@CANDOKNOWHOW]

Nick Lowe factors into that equation for me as well. Predating it all, I’m digging out my records of Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers.

[@kpjmphotographs9903]

Glad you gave him another chance. 😁 He is an amazing composer and performer. Check out the song “You can’t get what you want, till you know what you want” 😀❤️🎶 Amazing beat and horns!!!!

[@jameskneubuhl9115]

He's funny and witty - his wit keeps the song from drowning in sadness. I also like the line, "They say that looks don't count for much/ Well there goes your proof."

[@mauricecooper9594]

“You Can’t Get What You Want (Till You Know What You Want)” is another jazzy banger for you guys! 🎧😁

[@robmontoya8618]

"You Can't Get What You Want(Until You Know What You Want)" from the "Body and Soul" album. Lot's of horns, upbeat tempo. One of his bests.

[@tommyc6066]

You Can't Get What You Want (Until You Know What You Want) is probably Joe Jackson's biggest hit. He plays a great Saxophone 🎷 in that song too. Check out the live performance released by Vevo.

[@elebenty5709]

Great suggestion!

[@Wolverines77]

Good song, but not even close to his biggest hit, it was listed as his 6th biggest hit song...

[@mamamurray2]

One of my favorite videos on KZbin. I suggested it too. Maybe they'll do it!

[@jdw5678]

Wasn't his biggest, but definitely one of his best.

[@flares]

His three big hits in the UK were 'Is she really going out with him', 'Steppin Out' and 'It's different for girls'.

[@bradsullivan2495]

Another slow song from him is "Breaking Us in Two"

[@bernerandgoldenmom7143]

And a very sweet one--you really feel this one because of Jackson's amazing gift for telling stories with his songs.

[@rddav1]

Wow! So soon after "Steppin' Out"! I, for one, love Joe Jackson! His songs put me in a ritzy state of mind.

[@markzalubas5793]

Again, I can't be objective. I love Joe Jackson so much. Listened to him from high school through college and beyond. He has a passion to his voice. It hits a nerve. So talented. It dawned on me that another thing that's difficult when you look back is that you don't experience the artists' development over time. Steppin' Out was a later song (5th album), but you listened to it first. The Look Sharp album was his 1st. We listened to him develop over time. I feel like I went on that journey with him. It was a blast. Saw him in concert not too long ago. Still amazing.

[@TheJohnnywbred]

He played my college senior week 1984 at University of Rhode Island. It’s when Steppin Out hit charts. I couldn’t believe we got him. Great show in a small venue of 3000.

[@markzalubas5793]

@@TheJohnnywbred LOL. We nicknamed him Patron Saint of Senior Week. He made his mark.

[@rusty9129]

Like others have suggested: "Sunday Papers" and "I'm the Man" Both of these have a kinda Reggae feel with really cool baselines. Both are more uptempo than what you've heard thus far.

[@smd2169]

There is a live a capella version of this song that is stunning! Graham Maby is Joe’s bass player; he’s been with him over 40yrs and he’s an amazing musician. Joe is a big rabbit hole to venture down. Check out “Its Different For Girls”, “I’m the Man” or “Nineteen Forever”.

[@marvinpetty731]

Stepping out is my favorite song, im a 80s teen, we used to groove to this song sooo much

[@dudeusmaximus6793]

Loved this tune back in the day. Always kicked into the slow horizontal head bob for the breakdown guitar part. It was still the late 70's but you could really see the music starting to transition to the 80's style arrangements and culture.

[@deeksquad4051]

"I'm The Man" is a real banger, with a great Bass Line.

[@victorduffany7723]

No worries. Only very smart people like Joe Jackson.

[@FlamesCagney]

That whole album is nothing but bangers. Can't go wrong with any of them, Sunday Papers, Got the Time, Look Sharp.

[@foxandscout]

When this album came out, I played it constantly . . and continued to follow JJ’s awesome development over the next 4+ decades. Saw him every time he came to NYC. There was a period where he wanted to stop writing lyrics, he got so serious about music composition. Glad he came back to, or stayed with, song writing because he’s very skilled at that. His piano playing is amazing. He’s so wonderful to experience live. I’ve seen him more often than most of my music loves. Got the Time is one of his more “punky” tunes. The band Anthrax did a great cover of it. Most people seem to point out the first two, sometimes three, albums. But JJ has had an illustrious career with many brilliant songs. For example ten years and ten albums after his first was Blaze of Glory. The title song, Evil Empire, Discipline … brilliant!! His album Big World has We Can’t Live Together, the amazing Right and Wrong and the beautiful and touching Home Town. I was fortunate to hear him sing this song live a few times. Each time brought tears to my eyes.

[@tinahairston6383]

I love how it gives Jay a 90s vibe when this was from 1979, lol. I'm not always a huge fan of covers but Sugar Ray had a it with their cover in 2003. You want quirky, check out Mad At You!!

[@Carnivalihq]

You’re missing the line- “Listen You! Take your hands off her head!!”. This song has so much depth that you’re not even noticing . I despair.

A classic, remember hearing this when it was first released. Love so many of Joe's songs.

[@tonyjohnson4519]

This was the top hit of the time but everything he did on the "look sharp" and "jump jive" albums shot him to fame. An all time favorite of mine 👍

[@TheLonMead]

You'll want to listen to "You Can't Get What You Want ('Til You Know What You Want) for the bass alone, and the tight horns!

[@robertjewell9727]

One of my very favorite songs by Joe Jackson is RIGHT AND WRONG on his BIG WORLD album from 1986.

[@kellypedersen6590]

This is from Joe Jackson's debut album, 1979's "Look Sharp!" It's not only considered the high point of early new wave, a lot of critics named it one of the best debut albums of the 70s (and the cover with those white shoes is iconic). It's amazing all the way through; the band is super-tight, and yes Jay, bassist Graham Maby kicks out some dizzying licks, especially in the reggae-ish "Sunday Papers" and the hyperactively fast "Got The Time".

[@ssvr3dl1n38]

Great song, I remember playing it over many times on the tape deck in my panel van back in the late 80's 👍

[@robbiezee5256]

Joe Jackson songs to listen to. Right and Wrong and You Can't Get What You Want Till You Know What You Want .

[@johnk.2508]

The year this came out I got this album, Boston's debut album, and Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell album for Christmas. My parents put out the word to my aunts and uncles of what to get for me and they came through big-time, getting me three albums that are now considered classics.

[@howardhales6325]

Check out 3 or 4 more by him then go back and listen to "Stepping Out" again. It's really his masterpiece.

[@gripp62]

"Fit" and "Happy Loving Couples" are a good next dive.

[@michelleb9808]

Aw guys, lots more great Joe Jackson songs to hear!! Different for Girls, Breaking Us In Two, Im the Man, Look Sharp

Great reaction! Glad you liked this one! Maybe try 'Sunday Papers' or 'Look Sharp' . He was one of those cool 80's guys who didn't really fit any one genre. Some would morph into punk or new wave or reggae or whatever. The Clash and Elvis Costello were great examples of that. No rules back then!
