This is why I'm glad she didn't just go with Snow...

Oh, my god, I had completely forgotten about that song! I used to have it on an old Now compilation. And it'll be stuck in my head for the rest of the day now! :-)
Yeah, "a licky boom boom down" awoke from dormancy in my mind when I read the name. And Jagger? It's just embarrassing. I'll give her credit for consistency though, bc Bronx Mowgli is so ridiculous that I wasn't sure she'd be able to come up with a moniker for this child that encapsulated the same scope of absurdity and cringeworthy-ness. She's outdone herself! The whole wannabe rocker vibe with Rolling Stones reference (Mick's the *only* Jagger, let's be real). Plus, as mentioned, the whole "informer" thing, and let's not forget the veiled cocaine reference, as well as a faint Disney princess flavour, what with Snow White and all. Bonus points for also bringing to mind rural folk in a snowstorm "Big jagg 'er snow we got there now eh, Larry?". A delicate balance indeed.
Haha, yeah, I honestly have never heard that before :P
