I AM AN ANIMAL
“I Am an Animal” is one song by Ja Ja Ja that really sticks in my memory. I also like “Mom”, where the singer is answering her mom about: “When’re you comin’ home, when’re you comin’ home, when’re you comin’ back home?” I thought it was just about a girl who had gone off to college or something, but once I realized that Julie Jigsaw had made her way from Dallas to Germany, it made more sense.
Oh, and that dinosaur on the cover of the Ja Ja Ja album? Another is featured in the video for their song “I Am an Animal” – break-dancing!

I had to dig around some, but I did find some classy Ja Ja Ja videos on YouTube. This is a perfectly delightful video performance of “I Am an Animal”, featuring lots of face painting, cool clothes, Stegosaurus costumes, and neat dance moves: www.youtube.com/watch?v=allIpI84D_0 .
