Jimmy (song)
"Jimmy" is a song recorded by British artist M.I.A. for her second studio album, '' Kala'' (2007). The song was written by Maya "M.I.A." Arulpragasam, Dave "Switch" Taylor and Bappi Lahiri and produced by Switch and M.I.A.. A cover of "Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja" from the film ''Disco Dancer'' (1982), the song was re-arranged as an uptempo pop- electro tune with disco influences by modifying the orchestration, instrumentation and beats and the addition of original English lyrics for the single. During the recording and production sessions, M.I.A. and Switch wanted to create a dance-pop disco record using a song that the singer was familiar with from her childhood; the song's lyrics portray M.I.A. being invited by British journalist Ben Anderson on a date while covering a genocide tour across nations in Africa, and both eventually pursuing a romantic relationship. The original ''Disco Dancer'' song "Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja" was itself inspired by the 1980 song "T'es OK" ("You ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Jimmy'' is a 2013 dramatic family film directed by Mark Freiburger. It is based on a novel of the same name, by author Robert Whitlow. The film adaptation was additionally written by director Mark Freiburger, and producer Gary Wheeler. Plot The central character of the film is a challenged fourteen-year-old autistic boy named Jimmy Mitchell (portrayed by Ian Colletti). In the quaint town of Pinery Grove, Georgia, he lives under the loving care of his family, striving to overcome the day-to-day struggles that surface.

A supernatural element coincides with his natural gift, as angelic beings he calls "Watchers", are seen throughout his everyday experiences. His profound sense of observation leads him into trouble when stumbling onto ''the wrong place at the wrong time'' (which proves an arbitrary habit for Jimmy), as he must testify in a pivotal trial what he bore w ...
