Jamiroquai, King For A Day

[MrL1I2N3D4A5]

me encantan esta música lo mejor de lo mejor

[oliveirantunes]

i know " King for a day" is a green day's song, but green day are those who should bow to Jamiroquai...

[QuicksilverHammer]

@oliveirantunes very much. there are many modern day artists that should.

[radyshitmaker]

"Господин за един ден,а ?"

[velthon]

HOLY DAMN WHO IS THIS GUY AND WHY IS HE COPYING SONGS FROM GREEN DAY?!? NOT FUNNY

[Dunderhead36]

@velthon ur not a bright one

[velthon]

@Dunderhead36 Haha I'm kidding man...

[Dunderhead36]

@velthon yeah, I realize now. it doesn't sound sarcastic :P My apologizes, no need for my insults

[Dunderhead36]

@Dunderhead36 does*

[velthon]

@Dunderhead36 Let's keep listening at good music

[MrTech991]

fuck, clicked the wrong video. off to green day- king for a day.

[didhagusta]

Im so high when i posted thiss.. Sorry bout the spelling.. Hahahahahaaa...

[didhagusta]

This song is totally about stu, cant u guys hear theres no bass at all from beginning through the very end.. Jay is try to make an impression that without using bass(stu) as one of the instrument, he still can make a song!..pretty clever..

[MORGAN1992FREEM4N]

@MrSigninging billie joe would be fucking embarrassed to have fans like you who cant appreciate other styles of music, you sir need to get around and experience different music

[Electrickztar]

This song is one of my favorites it reminds me so much of my ex,and when it does I just laugh cuz it's true the fucker is only a king for day. lol

[sdtracy08]

@Electrickztar That's funny cause it makes me think of my ex too! I understand it's about his bass player but, the words are still fitting for that old relationship!

[Dreamteaker]

Ok its the same name ...so what??? I LIKEJAMIROQUAI AND GREEN DAY BOOTH, their music is diferent PERIOD If you like Jamiro talk about Jamiro, you say shit about Green Day in a Jamiroquai video, i 'd like to see you doing that in the Green Day's king for a day video!!

[BurtonRGA7]

@MrSigninging

greenday used to be good... some ten years ago, now their music is bullshit.

and never compare this crap by greenday with this masterpiece.

[megamarillion1]

hehe! love this song... wonderful piano and beautiful voice !!! * You are a king for a day * !!!! at last ****

[MsCarlettina]

favoloso, musica stupenda

[scooby272]

youtube -> yves paquet - burning out

[HatManAtLarge]

Thompson Twins had a song of the same title back in the 80's... "Queen for a Day" was a game show back in the 1950's...

[kresohorvat77]

king for a day.....fool for a lifetime.......

[cyberpsych1]

Jay was bitching about Stuart in this song based on how they fell out and Stu ultimately leaving the group. Sometimes I wonder what was going on between these two. I swear this sounds like a "lover's quarrel" (just sayin')...

[TehW00terMan]

WHERES MY GODDARM LADDER?



[Orangeicee]

SOFI SENT ME HERE

[SGMANIACO]

ES UN GRAN GENIO,UNA BELLEZA DE LA VIDA.ESTE MUSICO ES UN ARTISTA CON TODAS LAS LETRAS!!!!!!

[Scribbu92]

it's the first time that i listen this song and i really don't like it...owever it's strange..great JAMIROQUAI, greetings by rome

[sweeney665]

can anyone tell me where i can find a coat like the one Jay Kay is wearing on this video??please?

[makkershaft]

you "not can" speak english

[rofozation]

he not can sing!!!!!!

[hyrule109]

@rofozation well then it's sad that you're tone deaf

[zerbiare]

Definitely my favorite !!

[MusiciansTime]

This bores me to no end. Good music? I don't think so. Bland as can be, no diversity in instrumentation - flat. God save me if this is labeled as great music

[pedralicamosa]

@MusiciansTime You have absolutely no musical ear... sad

[MrBillyboyroge]

@MusiciansTime Have you not researched this band? Although the line up has changed over the past 19 years you can't deny they make great and diverse music. This song is more to do with the lyrics than the musical content. All about the ex bass player.... Don't judge the band by one song. Check out: Jamiroquai live Travelling Without Moving Phoenix 1997

[OmegaBassArg]

@MusiciansTime hahahha you make me laugh sooo much, listen to "music of the mind" and then open your mouth

[sj69]

beginning reminds me of mario

[naramrn10]

Adoro essa música!!! 

[rockmanlipe]

2:08 Coyote Fail, trap ACME

[hobarantus]

super duper song

[thhorrorthepain]

in all honesty, l'm impressed by this song. the piano melody being emphasized an all. good song.

[rockmanlipe]

33 persons are deaf

[86ARDI]

bravo!

this song is magnificent

[AChrissyLife]

Look before you leap.

[kevin57120]

j'adore

[MyNesbit]

top tune bloke aint never done a bad tune

[ConnorEdge]

whenever i play assassins creed 2, or brotherhood, I blast this.

[kmp3000]

Im not too keen on the new album. I think he was still really into making music when he made this. Guess he's too busy with his cars and stuff to really put his all his effort into his music these days. Come back Jay!!

[STIRKDAWG]

@kmp3000 why do people resent that he's a car guy so much? It's always a fucking punchline with you people. HE LIKES CARS. SO DO I. IT'S A BADASS HOBBY AND HE'S GOT A BADASS COLLECTION. Get over it ...

[sLePpInG]

awful quality for such a beautiful video

[GazeZERO]

Mixed up feelings about this song ...

The sing is absolutely brilliant. But the lyrics can only mean one thing: we'll never see one of the greatest funk/acid jazz bands ever the way it should be ever again. No matter how good Turner is, I can't help but miss Stu. And Toby.

[jamietherooster]

@GazeZERO people are never happy , paul turner is up there with the best of all time and fits into the band perfectly . when paul goes , people will be like "ah theyre never as good without paul" then when the next guy goes it will the same thing . let go of the past , this band a great none the less

[alexowain]

Sad Sad song... :'(

[agentsteell]

baroque'n'roll :P

[JunkieJay3000]

Funny how the music started to head downhill after Stuart Zender left.

[jesuisdvd]

poor sound

[swetroniusz]

THIS IS TRIBUTE TO STUART ZENDER

[SpaceCowboyBlog]

vimeo /15404930



[SpaceCowboyBlog]

Both lyrics of "King for a Day' (Green Day and Jamiroquai) are about gay men.

[vincentizghra]

@SpaceCowboyBlog Really? How do you know that? I find no referrence in the lyrics to this songs to being gay, homosexuality or anything like that.

[SpaceCowboyBlog]

@vincentizghra "As you may know this song was written by JK to Stuart Zender his bassist after Stuart left Jamiroquai.

[SpaceCowboyBlog]

@vincentizghra Jay Kay also wrote another music to Stuart "I've been hurting" Take a look at the lyrics:

"He got ahead for money

He had a head for sin"

How the hell did I lose ya

I´ve been Hurting

All I need is You

[TRAVISBR7]

@vincentizghra why so angry vincent?

[2base]

@SpaceCowboyBlog hell naw

[lilic1]

Gorgeous album and song..I'm not a fan of 90s music except Jamiroquai..they know everything about music!

I love this baroque-pop-funky mix song, I remember so much when it was a hit in 1999. I also went to their concert in Oct. 1999 when I was 13. I wanted to go there and I went there. Alone. :) I'll never forget those times!

[TheuploaderPart3]

@lilic1 Yeah i went to the same concert and i was 16...i remember i went 2000km to see it

[SolutionYouCanTrust]

very nice

[xxcorekidxx]

You people who keep griping because it has the same name as the Green Day song...you're idiots.

[keirabelanger]

@xxcorekidxx it is also the same name of a faith no more song but yeah who the fuck cares about titles.

[deadgamer42]

what about Faith No More, they came out with an album King For A Day Fool For A Lifetime. You dont hear me sayin that Jay ripped off Patton? Fuck your corporate bullshit music deliberations. This is real music, orchestrated, thought out. Not some 3 chord faux punk. And if you havent noticed "real" punk fans hate green day.

Fuck all you bullshit pandering weak emo assholes

[dopeandcrazy]

this song is about their ex-bassist Stuart Zender

[danitza83]

loool

[jamirohertje]

@dopeandcrazy Really? I never knew this? How intresting, I'm listening to this song in a total different way!

[pinkbiscuit1]

I absolutly love Jay Kay..fab song! I wish he would date me lol!! xx

[Nodickfilms]

@pinkbiscuit1 I'm a dude and even I want to date him xD

[dimaboy2003]

awesome orchestration...in all his songs i love this guy

[gothicfairy21]

king for a day is a fucking green day song

[Scarpaw1]

@gothicfairy21 How is it Green Day's? To beguin with, this song came out in 1999, Green Day's came out 2007. I really don't see how its theirs, and for the record Jamiroquai will top Green Day anyday, my opininon anyway.

[gothicfairy21]

@Scarpaw1 um green day was started in 1989 there first record album came out in 1990

[Scarpaw1]

@gothicfairy21 Actually, it was released in 1997, and to beguin with, Green Day's is a ska punk, talking about a cross-dresser. This one was made as a tribute to their bassit that left the band after their albums release. You're just bitching because it has the same name. And no, Jay's song are not even near as similar as that gothic/emo crap

[AZPhoenician]

Same name, so what. Like other artists don't have the same named songs lol

[twistedscenery]

@gothicfairy21: let's put it this way...shall we? same title, different songs. so this song isn't green day's.

[Tonykoehl]

Jamiroquai is AMAZING period!!!!!!!!!!

[amadototor42]

le roi

[megalomania1313]

я его люблю ))))))))))))))

[MrSalvo1983]

I completly agree with kfdisaw... jay kay its a great artist and he has done lots of good tunes. keep it up

[fandabidosiful]

Bye-bye, Stu. :(

[IbrahimDidge]

the lyrics is nice and got msg between the lines...i like it and i love the guy..

[lr1313]

one of my favorites

[Likokas]

my favourite jamiroquai song

[Beatstreet86]

@Likokas DITTO!!!

[Electrickztar]

I love the lyrics of this song,just amazing one of my fave songs ever!

[02jgr01]

this track is dedicated to zender leaving the band, as you can tell there is no bassline in this track

[Chochotte777]

nice clip !!!! love it

[sweeney665]

that's what you get when classical music meets funk and a voice like jay kay's and the aesthetics of a video clip that's inspired by a johnny depp movie (the libertine)....pure genius..

[righthandofdoom77]

@sweeney665 This song was released in 1999, how could it be inspired by Depp's The Libertine?

[sweeney665]

@righthandofdoom77 u're right, i can't remember why i typed that but i didn't mean that it it was inspired by that movie in particular.what i probably was thinking at the time is that at least when i personally see it i get the "libertine" vibe..so maybe the photography of the movie could be inspired by jamiroquai :P

[righthandofdoom77]

@sweeney665 Fair does.

[pia290587]

Great sound! ...This is my favorite song besides Runaway!

[danathor99]

people ask desperatley for jay kay and zender to get back together, but this songs wrote about zender, and if he still has these kind of feelings about him, cause it clearly cut him deep, then am afraid we will never see the 2 back together... :(

[GummySamurai]

@danathor99 kould you send me where you heard that if it was a magazine article and if i kould find it online. lucky me gets 2 write a report about him OH YEA!! still the 2 were kool id lik 2 know more about them and JK especially

[isenification]

gran video de jami donde se refleja la realeza del gobierno de gran bretaña rey por un dia titulo de esta canción con mucho drama y suspenso grande fuffaloman vestido de conde

[ajvanhovic]

It's a shame Stu left the band, he's an outstanding bassist ;(

[lolxoxlolxox]

i never got this song and video .. but i like it :D

can someone explain to me.

[ORIGINALbabyphat]

@lolxoxlolxox

Apparently the song is about the falling out between him and Stuart Zender, and Zender leaving the band? Someone else can confirm it but that's what I keep hearing/reading.

[alagudelo]

I love tihis song is my favorite

[Megadeth72]

so Jay Kay's once a king

for a day :D

[fernandocaro8409]

outstanding!!!

[berryberrymuch]

I want the instrumental version of this song !

[pitochupon]

@berryberrymuch i need it too.

[TheGarrese]

this IS the instrumental version!!

[NickKillough]

This song is about Stuart Zender's departure.

[ManuelBarrosR]

Why?

[NickKillough]

I'm assuming he didn't leave quietly, lol.

[polacomei]

@hechser

a lot of stupid people out there...U.U

[bonorrr]

gran canción!!!

[gniotka88]

love it!

[Supoimuzu]

Different from the usual funk sound but still love it. =)

[theladywater]

he`s so creative with their songs and vids love him

[MissJane8665]

Awesome song :)

[musicforDRUMIES]

i agree...

[kfdisawesome]

i'm hoping that you were just kidding.

though you might not like this song you should still check other tracks by Jamiroquai. As a musician and a green day fan as well i can tell u the writing and messages within Jay's music is at a whole different level then the majority of Green Day's current "sold out sound"

keep your ears open man

[DTCarel]

How does Green Day manage to infiltrate every single fucking conversation about music on YouTube? I mean, Jesus.

[MorganKai]

this is so visual kei.... hahaha,,, nice

[GolduckSM6]

@MorganKai poser

[MorganKai]

user of the word "poser" ...

[punkkaosetilico]

yeah!!

[powerpc5000]

esse som e monstrooooooo

[mouloudhingalls]

No, it's from Synkronized.

[OscarWilkins]

Why wasn't this on the High Times Album?

[HansHellman]

nope

[OscarWilkins]

???

[fandabidosiful]

@OscarWilkins There were a number of some successful singles absent from High Times, such as You Give Me Something and Supersonic.

[INACIOARTEPRODUCOES]

And I am INÁCIO HERMÓGENES

[INACIOARTEPRODUCOES]

This Nice Song remainds me a so sad time in my life

It's when the world was in the Nations War by the end's 90 decade

I always alone walking by South Taguatinga listen to the smiths and Morrissey Crazylly apassionatelly by My scotland leanguage Teacher Oh Wonderfull Swiss woman I am crazy For your red hair 'till Today Paula is her name!

[geetmyster]

No Zender! Attn All JMQ fans: Do you feel cheated since Zender is gone? I kinda do.

[TheRealCosmicJones]

What??? You left your career at McDonald's???

[freerubytuesday]

This song is brilliant, it got me to leave my job and other big stuff, and get free. I love it.

[AmericanDiplomat]

lol, a wig. Thats probably the closest JK's come to showing his real hair

[Fugees16]

hes absolutly fantastic!

[msalami1]

he talks about stuart zender...

[YmugenY]

genius

[WMBunch1983]

Didn't they have a huge fallout??

[stimpackedangelking]

yep. notice that there's NO BASS in this song at all. it's symbolic.

everything they worked on together for this album, Jay scrapped and rewrote, just to make sure there wouldn't have to be any crediting to him.

[WMBunch1983]

Damn, you're right...the 'no bass' concept in this song was a TRUE subliminal knockout. Then to have the entire album they worked on SCRAPPED and reworked COMPLETELY???The way he left must've been pretty damn nasty.

[stimpackedangelking]

The details of what happened have never been disclosed, but you can tell that it was indeed not so nice.

Oh well, the world is not without its mysteries. Maybe if Jay writes a autobiography some day, the truth (or his side of it at least) will come out.

[tezuia1974]

se mi amavi non mi avresti dato questo immenso dolore...sai che il mio cuore e' stato solo tuo,sai che il mio corpo la mia anima e' stata solo tua...ma sei orgogliosa,preferisci spegnere la fiamma che ancora brucia in noi...preferisci essere femmina...un animo buono non mi avrebbe mai trattato cosi male...dio dice di perdonare invece tu dici che dio ti ha voluto dare una dimostrazione...quale dimostrazione???solo dio sa quanto ti ho amata...non voglio strappare la mia anima da te....non vorrei

[tezuia1974]

Il danno e' fatto...i pezzi di cuore li sto perdendo io giorno per giorno...l amore e' quel sentimento che va oltre tutto...l amore e' la forza piu grande dell universo...l amore non e' la felicita che guardi con gli occhi,l amore e' quel sentimento che noi sentivamo dentro quando eravamo assieme...e niente potra metterlo in dubbio...neanche chiamandomi falso...perche tu quel sentimento l hai sentito assieme a me,i nostri cuori battevano in un battito solo...ora sono ferito anche io..

[lilic1]

Ten years ago this day I was at the Synkronized Tour concert in Budapest/Hungary. I'll never forget that, it was absolutely fantastic!

[kalletheowner]

Fool for a lifetime!!!

[Goukenable]

Was "The Libertine" the inspiration for the video?

[juderock]

That movie was released in 2005

[DVSlandlord]

Champion track

[jeaniebthe1]

I wish the sound quality was better - I'm gonna buy it now on iTunes! follow my legit path!!!

[RudolphFlowhammer]

And that´s just one of sooooo many good Songs!

I would sacrifice my Arms to go back in Time and watch his live@verona Concert!!!!

So professional ..... so good .... so JK!!!!

[DollZzBabe]
