Look Sharp!

You're probably thinking, "who's Joe Jackson? I've never even heard of this guy..."
Get ready to be schooled on some funky sounds!! HaHaHa.
You might know his more famous song "Is she really going out with him" which came out when he first appeared in '79. "Look Sharp" was probably his second most popular hit.

I had forgotten about this song of his! I wouldn't say i'm a huge Joe Jackson fan but my two favorite songs of his are "Look Sharp" and "Sunday Papers." He has such a great quirky voice. When i hear one of these songs come on, i instantly know it's him!
I'm not even sure how to describe what it sounds like, it's just the way he emphasizes the sounds of certain words in a song... ya gotta check it out!

His voice, mixed with the funky beat of his early 80's stuff is priceless, hence why he became an icon of his time, even with just a couple of hits. I find him similar to Elvis Costello who introduced America to "English Punk" if you may. A good kinda punk that makes you wanna dance.
