Details Lead Performance: Poe; Genre: Pop

With a hook that sounds as if it were sent from Jimi Hendrix's grave and a not-to-be-forgotten lyric (''You can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being''), the ode to a gun-toting wacko ''Trigger Happy Jack (Drive By a Go-Go'') sticks in the ear like a Q-Tip. With less bile than Alanis Morissette, Poe's slaphappy hip-hop groove turns a creepy scenario into a celebration of survival.
