Haven't heard anyone insisting that yet.

I'm not a researcher but I have ears. We could break down 'Running and pushing' right now but it's gonna take awhile cause that song is pretty complicated. No proof that the J5 wrote that song except for a promotional record that listed them as songwriters.

And we have heard J5 written material from later years. Nothing like that.

Why is this question disrespectful? I'm white. Just happening to be listening to the Strokes right now.

Leave what alone? I don't know what the word 'argot' means but those girls are skinny.
