[PAR] [TLE] Kala (album) [SEP] Kala is the second studio album by English-Sri Lankan recording artist M.I.A., released on 8 August 2007 by XL Recordings.  The album features musical styles including dance music and makes extensive use of South Asian music such as that of the urumee, a drum used in gaana music native to Tamil Nadu, India.  It was mainly written and produced by M.I.A. and Switch, and features contributions from Timbaland, Diplo, Afrikan Boy and The Wilcannia Mob. [PAR] [TLE] Jimmy (song) [SEP] "Jimmy" is a song recorded by British artist M.I.A. for her second studio album, "Kala" (2007).  The song was written by Maya "M.I.A." Arulpragasam, Dave "Switch" Taylor and Bappi Lahiri and produced by Switch and M.I.A..  A cover of "Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja" from the film "Disco Dancer" (1982), the song was re-arranged as an uptempo pop-electro tune with disco influences by modifying the orchestration, instrumentation and beats and the addition of original English lyrics for the single.  During the recording and production sessions, M.I.A. and Switch wanted to create a dance-pop disco record using a song that the singer was familiar with from her childhood; the song's lyrics portray M.I.A. being invited by British journalist Ben Anderson on a date while covering a genocide tour across nations in Africa, and both eventually pursuing a romantic relationship.  "Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Aaja" was itself inspired by "T'es OK /(You're OK for international markets)" (1980) from French Euro disco group Ottawan.
