    She is saying Jimmy Aja, which means come Jimmy, come. This song is actually based on an old Indian movie I saw 25 years ago. Basically a movie about a performer who is scared to perform on stage and he is frozen because his mom had just died. A friend of his, sings Jimmy Aja to encourage him to move and sing because life can't stand still. A very emotional movie and a good song. MIA just took that song and added her own influence.

      It's not really creativity. Not in this case. It's a slightly repackaged version of a Hindi song from the 70s. M.I.A. did manage to introduce/remind many people of that era, though, by this song.

    M.I.A. is one of the greatest artists ever. Her songs about political issues were real, something we all can relate to also. Her style was unique - so unique that it made me best friend hate her music. I hope she hasn't stopped making music. "Aim" is an amazing album and I just started to like "Maya", her most overlooked album.

    She sings "Jimmy, aaja", which means "Jimmy, come here". The word Aaja sounds similar to Polish word Chodź (Chadzać) which also means Come Here/Come On. It's because Slavic and Baltic languages are amazingly similar to Sanskrit, Hindu, and other languages of India. Even some tribal symbols of ancient Slavs are similar to these from India.

      I think many great artists are haunted by their inspiration. Jim Morrison witnessed a horrific car accident on an Indigenous reservation at the age of 4, and said the image of a bloodied body on the side of the road was one of his most formative memories. As a child growing up in a military family, he faced significant emotional abuse and grew up with few connections, always having to move with the stationing of his father. He grew up troubled, with a lack of direction, and sort of stumbled into fame and acclaim. This would only further substance abuse, leading to a heroine overdose and death at the age of only 27. His life wasn’t an easy one. That isn’t to discount what M.I.A. went through at all, but I think most great art is formed in tragedy and often comes from a troubled place, or a voice previously ignored.

      What's awesome is that she actually isn't terribly unusual at all if you consider the cultural context applied to most music videos. As a Sri Lankan and a Hindu, she draws very strongly from their iconography and her religion in this video, with just the occasional dabble in the sort of things you would expect to see in music videos now (such as the silhouettes dancing). She's absolutely creative and diverse in her talents, it's just that she seems particularly radical to a Western audience who likely have very little experience with these kinds of visuals. :)

    Till now, I am appreciating what a great artist and good person MIA is. I mean, I have always enjoyed her music and checked out her stuff, but I think it is just until recently that I am realizing how good she was. She would moop the floor with many other indie/pop/mainstream female pop singers if she appeared today. I can say that she was ahead their time, when Indie and Mainstream were still extremely divided (something that didn't bother me TBH) but if she came out today, she would break way harder than she did 15 years ago.

    Context for younger generation of Russians and Indians--> In the movie DISCO DANCER, Jimmy is a famous pop star. Unfortunately his Mum dies by getting electrocuted by a guitar. He is mentally affected. Now, he is needed at the stage for the performance, but the PTSD makes him mortified . He cant even touch his guitar. Then the girl sings this song, hoping to bring him back to his true superstar self (summary of the song is basically hey jimmy come back and sing us a song, the world is calling you etc. etc ). Don't worry, it has a happy ending, when he writes a song dedicated to his Mum and he finally returns back to his former glory. That comeback song is - "Yaad Aa Rahi Hai Tera Pyaar" th-cam.com/video/v7B1_y2LAeI/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Shemaroo

    I became a big admirer of this artist after hearing this song. It's not because of that disco-pop beats but because of the lyrics. The incorporation of different political and social references in her songs is what makes her music different from any of the artist right now.
    Btw, this song is actually about a love story happening in Sudan on one of the worst time, "The Darfur genocide". Google it if you don't know about it.
    And another thing I want to add is that this song is inspired by "T'es OK/You're OK" from Ottawan not from the song "Jimmy Aaja". Only the music was sampled and re-arranged from "Jimmy Aaja".
