In one memorable scene, mousy Jane finally thumped her and we all cheered. After scoring, Jackson often thumped his chest three times. He thumped his chest with his hands for percussive effects. The twins were killed by Cousin Maude when she thumped their heads with a mallet. Jason Lipshutz of "Billboard" opined that the performance "thumped like a wild animal". Its sequel "Thumped" was published on April 24, 2012.
