Jimmy Jang – “A Pile Of Dog Shit!” – New Video/Single Release
You gotta have love for something like this somewhere inside you.
Singer/songwriter Jimmy Jang has chosen to express his perspective world-view through a clever new video/single for his song, titled “A Pile Of Dog Shit” – and I think many of you out there will relate to its sentiment, ideas and what he wants to communicate through the writing. With imagery in the lyrics and a pointed opinion that reflects the will of the people and their feelings towards the elites & establishment –
Jimmy Jang combined it with a catchy rhythm and completely creative video to drive the main points home.
I’ve always said and stood-by the fact that music is the best tool we have in education, communication and unification…
”A Pile Of Dog Shit!” is a great example of how this works on a grassroots, independent level. By keeping the lyrics sharp with his point of view and making sure the music is entertaining and the visuals tie it all together –
JJ’s “A Pile Of Dog Shit!” is the kind of combination that keeps our attention and also leads to repeated-viewing. Through that repetition and enjoyment, the message continues to sink in.
Like I said…he’s played it smart! “A Pile Of Dog Shit!” is a lot of fun…but at the same time it manages to go into much deeper, honest terrain.
Check out the video below – you’ll see/hear what I mean!

About Me
Jimmy Jang practicing the standing meditation
Jimmy Jang Singer/Songwriter was originally from Taiwan, a small island country in the Pacific Ocean. As the little drummer at my dinner table I played chopsticks, bowls, dishes and glasses to the background music from the neighbor’s houses.
At age ten I joined the matching band at my school and ever since I feel I've always been able to pick which songs will become popular played on radio.
In my life as a former merchant marine officer, business owner (import and export),
and manufacturer, this allowed me to travel to sixty-four countries.
I had so many opportunities to associate with all kinds of people, I gained and understanding of their ways of living, their cultures, foods, likes or dislikes and their expressions through their music.
After moving to the United States, I had the opportunity to meet with some of my good friends who happen to be professional musicians and producers and that opened the door to music creation for me.
It all started with a dream I had.
In this particular dream I heard music playing with images being created. It was so clear that after I awake that music stayed in my head.
I met a lovely lady and by knowing her I learned a lot of Native American histories and stories and their ways of life. Those facts of history happened in early America.
It reflects the music in some of my songs; the sounds of Flutes, the Drums, this was the inspiration for one of my songs titled:
"Fly High for Freedom”.
Most of my inspirations for the songs were created by the images appearing in my mind or in dreams or during meditation.
I also learned music actually is Matrix, an Energy force!
If you use it right, it can heal not only our bodies but potentially our planet.
My passion is to send out messages of LOVE, to all living beings if I can. I believe every single life has a soul.
True souls have no color, no culture, no race or religion. We are all one. Suffering is created Bby hatred and igonrance. The cure is LOVE!
All external reality is a reflection of your mind. Greed will cause you to step on others for egocentric gains.
