From some of the comments it is clear that we are scraping the bottom of the Jif jar. That said, we do have 9 slots left, so if ya got something else to say, J-wise, speak now. I will definitely cut this one off at 50. mmm ---

Extremely esoteric, given that it requires knowing the plot of the Doki Doki Literature Club game, but it’s damn catchy: Just Monika - Random Encounters (2018) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/YYoOIGBcN48/maxresdefault.jpg "JUST MONIKA: A DDLC song (feat. OR3O & Adriana Figueroa) [by Random Encounters]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYoOIGBcN48) Other than that, all I can offer is a club mix: Jungle - Fred Again… (2022) [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/zBp7KBmgsdU/maxresdefault.jpg "Fred again.. - Jungle (18 June 2022) [Visualiser]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zBp7KBmgsdU) ---

> [@Gyrate](#): > > Jerk It Out - The Caesars (2002) Hehehe, I never remember the artist or the title of this song, but that synth riff rips out and I go “Oh shit! It’s the Stylophone song!” And I own a Sylophone, so of course I had to vote for it. ---

I don’t get the lack of candidates - hell, I could have filled my list just with “Jealousy” songs. And that’s within my personal tighter criteria. Here have some more J: [**Just For Now**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yBBaK1vGh4) Imogen Heap, 2005 [**Julie**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYuqnUs9gP8) Rhiannon Giddens, 2017 [**Jealousy**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PxhT9ccLIm8) - Alice Merton, 2018 [**Jealousy**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRQBaJ8wu6M) - Pale Waves 2022 ---

Jigsaw Falling Into Place is a masterpiece. There’s absolutely no fat on that song whatsoever. Slightly appalled that this community rates Pink above it! 😛 ---

I think the same about “Jealous” - most of Labrinth’s stuff I find forgettable, but that’s a beautifully crafted song. ---

“Just Give Me a Reason” gets my vote, while “Just Dance” fell just short of getting a second vote from me. “Jerk It Out” isn’t a bad song _per se_, but it was used in those damn iPod commercials with the dancing silhouettes, so it finishes in dead-ass last place in the world-famous **Ponch8 Music Rating System**. ---
