I always loved that raw sound of that track. It was a pretty big hit for him, got lots of air play. My favorite Joe Jackson song is Always Something Breaking Us In Two.



It is bad to drink Jobu's rum. Very bad.

Extremely underrated as an artist. Check out his live album, which has his hits on it...captures his purest essence.

Joe Jackson currently has five or six live albums available. The best one is is his first live album , a double record that we released about 1987 (give or take). He does three different versions of Is She Really Going Out With Him, one being an acapela version. I love that album.

"Breaking Us in Two" is a great song. I also like "Stepping Out."
I never warmed up to "Is She Really Going Out with Him."





Get me a bromide! And put some gin in it!

Look Sharp, the album from which it came, is still Joe Jackson's best IMO.

Sugar Ray do a pretty good cover of this song too.

I brought the Ivy album Appartment Life just based on the 2 tracks used in the movie and it doesn't disappoint
