When it really comes to music these days, there is really no backbone to what should actually stand out. That just sometimes surprises me with newer acts out there. Jet, is one of those newer acts right now. Their U.S. debut single, Are You Gonna Be My Girl?, from their U.S. debut record, Get Born, is actually quite refreshing within itself. Although as it begins, it sounds quite repetitive to an Iggy Pop song at the very beginning. Still, the song does quickly catch on with its feel. Arguably, it does seem a little out of place from the beginning, but does actually catch on very well once you get used to it. Although many aren't still familiar with Jet, they do have some growth, but a very catchy beat within Rock N' Roll.

Yes yes, Jet, we all know that Lust For Life is a great song, but those of us with enough sense to actually go out and buy an Iggy Pop/Stooges album can do without this rip-off. Honestly, would it be THAT hard to just change the bass-line a bit or something so it wouldn't be such a blatant imitation? What's next, Search & Destroy?

People who find this song "refreshing" must love the sound of fingernails on a blackboard. Trite lyrics randomly jammed into a line of music...what talent! The only reason it gets one star is that the basic tune doesn't completely suck, & that's no thanks to Jet.

This is the catchiest song I've heard. It's in my top 10 of best songs ever. The vocals are great and very catchy. The guitar does sound a bit like Iggy Pop for a bit which I noticed when I first heard this. You can't help but sing along to it. Get this single now!!!!!!!! You won't regret it!

It's Fast, with a lot of energy and its original, I dont usually rate album singles, but I just felt like it this time because I think this song is really catchy. It sounds like a hard rock band thats trying to sound like the stray cats or something. Good song.

I give this two stars because "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" is a great song. I first heard it on an internet radio station, and thought "Oh fun, an Iggy cover!" No, just an shameless rip-off - although nicely done. Buy the real thing.

I like a few songs from Jet's album, but this song just sucks! And giving this 1 star is being generous. The damn song is annoying as hell. I'm done here.
