About Jaimme's Got a Gal

"Jaimme's Got A Gal" is the third single from the album Sound as Ever by Australian rock band You Am I. It was released in 1994 and peaked at #93 on the Australian ARIA singles chart in June 1994. The song also reached #77 in that year's Hottest 100. The Jaimme of the title is Jaimme Rogers, the brother of You Am I's frontman and chief songwriter Tim Rogers, who had been a founding member of the band but left it within twelve months of its formation. "Jaimme's Got a Gal" thus partly explains the reason for his departure.
