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.
I know the movie your talking about, I love that movie, its such a classic movie, and I really like MIA influence on the song, I think she complement it very nicely :)
Thank you very much. I will look into it. I love foreign movies.. and because this song is one of my favorites, I am curious to see, perhaps, the source of inspiration. Thank you..
@@fujikawa_j show off south asian culture at a time where south asian ppl were represented very negatively bc of 9/11 and just in general it was very taboo at the time to be american and into bollywood or indian shit so when mia came out with this they’re saying she was ahead of her time bc she didn’t care what people thought abt indian culture and she showed hers off in a really special way that paid off
1 up your comment-I don't even like pop music but I love M.I.A. she's original. I was ready for a musical revolution after paper planes, but no other pop star can come close...
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.
Don't get me wrong, please. I love many songs by M.I.A. This just doesn't happen to be one of them. Prefer the vintage 1982 version from Bollywood (I thought that movie was from the late 70s ... I was wrong, it was released in 1982).
I've loved this song for 17 years and this is the first time I've ever seen the video. What a time capsule! The extreme side bangs! The shield sunglasses! The American Apparel bodycon dresses with the scoop neck and the 3-quarter sleeves! Yet the song still slaps.
ShiVi001 who cares. she made the song better. all music is somehow copied from something...her music is awesome anyhow and if u dont agree u have a hearing problem
Marta eyore The music is copied nobody cares about the lyrics(even they are copied) The song might be better than the original( I don't think so) But copying a song without giving credits to the original artist is straight up plagiarism :) And if this hurts you that I don't care I just wrote about the original song because I felt that people are being cheated
ShiVi001 um im sure she did that accordingly. .u cant just sample music without asking for the right to do so. Anyway if u want to investigate that further contact bollywood headquarters
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.
Been skimming through her music for the first time. I first heard of her with paper planes. Her musical styles are all over the place. Not too many artist can get away that. Well in the U.S. at least.
I also have loved her since that mixtape with Diplo before her first album but I am off the MIA love train now she's a born again Christian antivaxer. I'll always love the old stuff though.
This song is for my brother! I'm so proud of him..he takes care of our dad! He works and he loves all of us! I love you little brother!! Jimmy Aja! Means your doing the dam thing!!
this girl is truly a massive hero for me, im 46yo , yest actually, im british from scotland,living n workin n lon don the now, and reason shes my hero. is she is 100% example of MULTICULTURISIM working , wot many in west have strove for, god bless her and ALL like her peace n love and share our HUMA NITY.
integration and acceptence in numbers from large muslim areas out in streets united showing their willingness to put religion aside for room to integrate and without ignoring their religion WILL defeat islamist nutters and the imans and scholars will loose their influence , gotta be worth trying for
asdulla khan yes that is EXACTLY the road to take and I have faith in this generation to sub consciously do exactly that. And thus nutter element will die on it's feet .
I love her man. The opening of the dance of a thousand hands was just so beautiful. I love the Indian culture and it’s in my list of travels. Such a good and spiritual country filled with colors and wonders. 🥰🙌🏾🙌🏾🤟🏾
Whew when I tell you the repressed memory of this song hit me like a truck... 😂 I love M.I.A. even as a child I remember this song and dancing to it and my family laughing at my dancing
It's hilarious to me how in all of her videos Her comments section is only filled with people who Really Love her art. There is not one hater. Not One.
Dude...she's scary in this music business with her music videos lol...and i mean good! but the last time i saw someone do something like this Music Video wise was...Left eye and her Block Party video and she was WAYYY ahead of her time...M.I.A. is too she will be the new start of the generation to to this more she's so damm creative and diverse it's crazy
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. :)
H&M Playlist 2024 Brought me here. What a Gem! Musicaly and visualy hypnotic. Bolywood, retro, and disco vibes all over the place 🤩 Definitely one of the best dance/pop song E-VER 💃💃💃💖💖💖
I came in quite late to the M.I.A party. My favourite changes from week to week. Every album is excellent, the more you listen the more you notice. We're also the same age and her influences are similar to mine! Simply the best artist out there right now. "Where were you in '92?"
HER WHOLE ALBUMS IS MY LIFE!!! i just know her form her new song with baauer and g-dragon ...and since then i listening only her whole ablums !! this girl is so underrated af
M.I.A; she has a beautiful heartfelt singing voice. I love love her 🎵 musical joint called Paper Planes 👌 Love peace & respect to her for sharing her talent and beauty.😘
Me and my dad love this song, he introduced the original song to me. Me and my family love M.I.A for including old Indian music in the backgrounds of her songs.
Steve L dont talk about me like u know me. i just heard this artist for the first time and realised that she has no talent. Things u say dont make any kind of sence. How can u know what u like if u dont know what u dont like? I like real talent. The reason why these artists like M.I.A and Iggy azelia can make money with their "music" is people like u that dont have any knowledge about the genre.
As one of the original techno ravers of the 90s, i love this tune, although i have just discovered the delights of Indonesia since 2010, when i first heard this, i fully endorse this Tune, more of this please M,I,A,
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.
The inventor of Cardi B nails 😂 Your music and its uniqueness make me feel good. It teaches me to be myself in ways of dressing, expressing myself.

The name of this movie is Disco Dancer, Indian movie - came out in 1982. You can probably find it online
Thank you very much. I will look into it. I love foreign movies.. and because this song is one of my favorites, I am curious to see, perhaps, the source of inspiration.

its like she mixes different nationalities in her music videos....
And Jayzee dropped her because she was too unconventional
This is one of my favorite songs from her!! It pisses me off that its so underrated!
OMG. I absolutely love M.I.A.s music videos. They are a piece of art alone.

I love you baby❤❤💋💋💋🙏🙏
Mujhe tum bahut acchi Lagti Ho🥰🥰❤❤🙏🙏
Wow, just wow. She should have many more of her songs hits in the US. She’s amazing.
This song just popped in my head, had to listen to it. M.I.A. is so creative and one of a kind artist.
you should watch original too.

Origin -- Bollywood ( India )
Oh yeah ovio... Afterall it's copied from India.
This is copied
no lol it's mid
I’ve loved her since she first came out (I was in my teens) and still rocks! So unique, no one else can compete with her style.
She never could dance, but also since I was a teen couldn't take my eyes off her door style
I also have loved her since that mixtape with Diplo before her first album but I am off the MIA love train now she's a born again Christian antivaxer. I'll always love the old stuff though.
my name is Jimmy I'm so happy
Aaja translates to an invitation.😉
actually tranlates to "come".
You shouldn’t be
Hahaha
Jimmy you lucky bastard
Everything M.I.A. touches turns to GOLD.

She is trying to be cheesy and I love it. She knows what she is doing.
i'm not sure that's true. i think it's probably a legitimate homage to south asian film/music
It's called 'Kitsch' and is a style.
Nah, she always does that lazy sexy voice. It's her thing. Look at her other songs. This is basically her, being herself, doing the aja jimi song.

This was the first song that made me fall in love with M.I.A.
M.I.A has taken d music from the great Indian song of 80's...Jimmy Jimmy aaja aaja.
Amu Jaan I know that's why I like it even more. Its like she's making bollywood music go global and mainstream.
Bollywood songs are already globalised...it doesn't need M.I.A. good dat u liked it. It's my favorite too.
Amu Jaan well if most of the foreign people heard this song with mia first bollywood music wasn't so global after all right?
That means you don't have a great taste for music...latecomer may be. Well if you listen famous Bollywood songs, you will be in love forever.
Wow the "Disco Dancer" song.
Yeahhhh.. Lol
