It doesn't even feel like a song - it's too gimmicky.
They had to take the clowns riding unicycles (which usually play a trombone or a trumpet), besides giving it a circus theme to actually make it jazzy. The whole thing that unique about Sexy little thing is the swing pop style that it is. You won't find many songs in this style in the world.
Try listening to That Man by Caro Emerald and behold how the style sounds like Sexy little things. I really liked what they did there because it was extremely original, unique and sounded really good (to my taste).

Btw I loved Don't look back's bridge with the real Darbukas, the instrumetal bridge in that song is to die for. I wish they would use the real darbukas in the whole song but I still like it.

I sometimes wish ayu would try to make a Mediterranean music style song. Don't look back is the closest, especially the bridge.
