Hi-tech classic.

You know, I was expecting a music video for Paul Simon’s You Can Call Me Al to be kinda weird, and, I mean. Yeah.

I don’t know what my favorite thing about this is, but it might be the fact that when Paul Simon and Chevy Chase stand up next to each other it looks like they’re using forced perspective to make Paul Simon look super tiny compared to Chevy Chase, but they’re not. Paul Simon is just that smol.

[BAR]: Joe Jackson’s Jumpin’ Jive (1981)

Joe Jackson

Joe Jackson’s Jumpin’ Jive!

1981

A&M Records

By the start of the 1980s and after relentless touring, Joe Jackson had still only pushed himself to the middle of the British power-punk-pop scene. With 1981′s Jumpin’ Jive, an album that started out somewhat as a joke and side-project, Jackson took himself out of the running and focused solely on the music. This jazzy interlude, sat between the difficult Beat Crazy and the break-through Night and Day, stands a cut above of other vanity jazz LPs from rock performers. Rod Stewart’s later output this is certainly not. The energy and passion in his vocals have ensured that this record sounds as fresh as it did in 1981.

We rate this: Excellent
