I thought this sounded familiar; Here are some lyrics from The Clash,
London Calling :
Jimmy Jazz
(Strummer/Jones)
The police walked in for Jimmy Jazz
I said, he ain't here, but he sure went past
Oh, you're looking for Jimmy Jazz
Sattamassagana for Jimmy Dread
Cut off his ears and chop off his head
Police came looking for Jimmy Jazz
So if you're gonna take a message 'cross this town
Maybe put it down somewhere over the other side
See it gets to Jimmy Jazz
etc. etc.

I've decided to take Patti's advice. I'll be buying one copy of P&N each
friday, for the next five weeks, and giving a copy to my friends who
are too lazy or cheap to buy it for them selves.
