DAY 712
Joe Jackson - I'm the Man
From "I'm the Man"
Year: 1979

I heard this song for the first time today because I became interested in Joe Jackson's back catalog on a whim after hearing "Is She Really Going Out With Him" on my iPod's random play. In less than a few hours "I'm the Man" has already become an instant favorite, and I can't stop listening to it!
At it's core the song starts out with a basic chord structure, which I found to be very noticable at first. I quickly overlooked that as a result of the frantic pace, variation in chords in the bridge, and the song's interesting lyrics.
Quite frankly, I've been obsessed with this song today. Picking it was a given, and it was important to pick it tonight rather than wait until a better time when I know more of the song's history.
