"Trigger Happy Jack" came off Poe's debut album on Atlantic, one of the singles she released between "Hello" and "Today", and Jeffrey Connor is among its co-writers.
The video became popular in its own right, and it's a memorable one: Poe spends it harassing a small man she keeps in a jar, while Guns N' Roses' Matt Sorum sits in on drums and Connor plays bass. It's a pointed bit of theater for a song whose title already sounds like a warning.
