Never heard of Napolean Dynamite, I prefer to listen to my 80`s ie The Jam , Level 42 Tears For Fears, Joe Jackson , Ultravox and New Order. Though Jamiroquai`s funky style clicked with me straight away the 1st time i heard, very original , unfortunately most of today stuff is artificial junk and constant picking and stealing from other songs. Level 42 were an underground british jazz funk band i guess thats why i liked Jamiroquai so much.
@DaveyBoyEssexUK lol thats wat was funny about napoleon dynamite (esp if u wer around in the 80s) is it seemed like it took place now but the settings made it seem like the 80s. like he had a old skool computer and the fone still hooked to the wall but the uncle would talk about goin back to the 80s to play football. ud like the movie. i love old skool music so thats how i heard abotu this song (since im 15) his voice reminded me of napoleon dynamite tho,
@Nowaytootsie You do know that Jamiroquai is the name of the actual band as a whole?! lol. The lead singer's name is Jay Kay. And yes, he's VERY sexy.
I first heard this song in an old halo 2 video way before I saw napoleon dynamite I thought it was the best song in the world for 2 months straight!!!
This song isn't popular because of Naopleon Dynamite, they chose this song for the dance part becasuse it was a massive dance hit in the 90's, it was getting massive air time in every country apart from U.S.A, Jamiroquai are huge in U.K, Europe, Asia and South America, so i don't see why it's such a surprise it's in Naopleon Dynamite...
I actually had this album until my brother sold it, I kicked his ass for it. I've been loving this song since before Napoleon Dynamite. Only good part about the movie was this song if you ask me
@sesabio Does it look like Stevie Wonder??? Granted Jay sounds a little bit like the great man, but people have been saying that since 1993.............
@TheOrangeJacketGuy Hahaha, if you think for one second I give a rat's ass about my YouTube comment getting a thumbs up or down, you are very delusional. Thumbs down me all you want bitch, fact of the matter is that this is a JAMIROQUAI song, not a NAPOLEON DYNAMITE song.
@0guerrilaz0 it's about dancing and having a good time, amongst other things. Believe it or not, 'Canned Heat' was a band from the 60's that heavily influenced Jay Kay and the Jamiroquai sound...... hope this helps
Google: cannedheatmusic for the biography
Check out the live version of this track from 1999 on Jools Holland. This band make great videos, but are much better live
I just can't get tired of this song. 20 or 30 years from now, when I hear this again, I'm going to want to get up and dance. And I'm going to try, even if I can't!
@C3Dave Search: Jamiroquai Canned Heat (Jools Holland) for a great live performance of this song. One of the few bands that sound better when performing live than they do on the cd/mp3.
If you want something a bit more upbeat, search: Jamrioquai Travelling Without Moving (BBC Proms 2006)
Best Live Band in the world! Good luck 'busting' those funky moves ;o)
Fuck Michael Jackson and his "moves". J.K. is the best... Very nice Jamiroquai!
