"I'm an Individual" is a novelty song released by former Australian football player Mark "Jacko" Jackson in 1985.[1] Described as "a shouty rap", it reached #3 on the Australian popular music charts.[1][2]
A follow-up single by Jackson, "Me Brain Hurts", was also released but did not achieve the same success.[2]
Fellow Australian football full-forward Warwick Capper is reputed to have recorded the single "I Only Take What's Mine" as a result of the success of "I'm an Individual".[2][3] The music video for "I Only Take What's Mine" includes footage of Capper throwing darts at a picture of Jackson.[2]
The song was featured in the 2012 play Barassi: The Stage Show.[4]
