Jackie's Racing

"Jackie's Racing" is a song by Scottish rock band Whiteout, released in 1995 (see 1995 in music). It was the band's fourth single, released shortly before their first album, Bite It, on which the song is featured also. The B-sides "Cousin Jane" and "So Confused" reappeared on the Japanese EP Young Tribe Rule later the same year. Music journalist M.C. Strong writes that "Jackie's Racing" was the band's "... most successful release, displaying a healthy affection for 60's West Coast pop a la Lovin' Spoonful and The Mamas & the Papas."[1] Strong also mentions that the B-Side "So Confused" "... [brings] to mind the harmonies of American Beauty-era Grateful Dead."[1]

gollark: (Obviously they can't entirely ban it)
gollark: It also seems to function as a plausibly deniable way to ban end to end encryption (it never mentions it explicitly but does have a mechanism to force technology companies to make their service amenable to centralised monitoring).
gollark: The UK government is also working on the incredibly ææææ "online safety bill", which obliges online things to ban "harmful content" (not illegal, "harmful").
gollark: I do know about this.
