Jamiroquai - Emergency On Planet Earth

[unionfunk]

"緊急"

[masterriuso]

Fornication

Under

Condition of the

King

[Markduderino]

@masterriuso *consent

[ETR14]

i agree

[ChunkyChest]

Their influences span many oldschool funk bands etc etc..

I think JK pays homage to many of them on Late Night Tales.

Does anyone remember when they were on Acid Jazz? Now that was some real ish..

[cehayes74]

I've always liked this band !!! They had a Earth, Wind & Fire/Stevie Wonder kinda vibe to them !!! It's a shame good music doesn't get played on radio no more, thank god 4 YouTube !!!

[tiffinypie]

I miss the 90s -_-

[sonofthedestroyer]

Now we certainly have an emergency on Earth!

But this track has a comical tune to it rather than one of fear

[vaulesar]

It's all good in the hood. 

[ryuol8]

1:45 that bassline was sexy as shiat DX Stuart Zender is a fuckin prodigy at that bass. Breaking strings and calling names m8z. :S

[ciyvi9]

We Got 2 Emergency, 1. Jamiroquai Is Turned In To Shit, 2. 14 people Can't Get How Good Was Jamiroquai Back then

[STIRKDAWG]

@ciyvi9 Fuck you. You've "turned to shit."

[ciyvi9]

@STIRKDAWG WTF =)))))) just because i said something bad about one BAND you have to say to me: FUCK YOU???? =))) i know lots of word that can abuse you... but i m conscious... sorry for my english =))))

[STIRKDAWG]

@ciyvi9 What is =)))))? What is that? Anyway, don't use "shit" and "Jamiroquai" in the same sentence. These guys were and still are GODS. Watch your mouth or the funk will slap you in your face ...

[mohamedheroe1234567]

this is Beathiful!!!!!!!

[raunchydogfart]

my favorite jamiroquai song. theres nothing like this. this shit is funky

[Muunnos]

When Stuart Zender wasn't playing anymore, the songs were not the same. Jamiroquai is all about JKs voice and that great bass that can only be played by Stuart Zender

[xep00]

i love his music...but I do not know what the hell he is saying

[katgrrrl]

@xep00 ... LMAOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xD

[Quake2815]

so goddamn funky.

[grandotto]

This is my jam, y'all!

[kyokocanary]

これもよく聴いてました。大好きです。

[TheHybridSway]

Toby was the master and that's him who brought all the good and weird vibes to jamiroquai, and he's completely unknown, this is the true definition of master. I hope he'll have a great place in heaven... with Stuart !

[danathor99]

@TheHybridSway Thank god someone else notices that Toby was the best, he was the key composer and lyric writer, he's gone from this great band, to managing The Hoosiers, such a shame....

[Dwojy18]

I loved this style. It should be brought back :)

[kackiz]

@Dwojy18 it will. by them!

[robotmaster123]

Jamiroquai is fcking epic, U HEAR ME FUCKING EPIC!!!!! Love this song.

[carmellac2000]

@robotmaster123 i hear you my good man i hear you! and i agree!

[timmyvamsterdam]

so much memories.

[300359alann]

Sounds like Stevie Wonder

[TheRealBajc]

This video is awsome :D Why o' why did have to happen to jay kay to get a materialist and start wrighting lyrics bout' fast cars and disco booty instead of things that matters and can change the world... o whell... i still like the funk to the music they make... :D

[vaughanweather]

Anyone notice he always wears the same shoes? Those Adidas sneakers? Even in Dynamite he wears them! LOL

[ruhaidai]

@vaughanweather

It's possible he really likes them and Adidas send him new clothes for free as he will help advertise them as he's one cool cat. Remember the Adidas zipper's he always used to wear-i went out and bought one as soon as I say Jay wearing them.

[FlyAwayToTheMoon]

Now, this was the real Jamiroquai vibe!

[georgewagner2]

@pifou61 That song (get the funk out) was TERRIBLE!! Yeah, Nuno can shred the frets, but a guitar solo to me is about more than just cramming as many notes as you can into a monotonal bassline. A great guitar solo over a mediocre cookie cutter blues riff (or what you refer to as "funk") is just boring. I guess what I'm trying to say is a great solo in any music needs a great song to back it up and Extreme just flat out sucks.

[februarystars1976]

damn so tight this is from when jk 's head was straight and he wouldn't even consider writing about black devil cars...

[bolaoito4]

@februarystars1976

oh god , how boring you can be , they can sing about anithing he wants man .

[ImprovedMexican]

Doesn't get any funkier than this.

I don't dislike Jamiroquai now though, I like their newer albums too. They're different to Emergency..., Space Cowboy, Travelling.., but RDLS seems like an okay album, and I thoroughly enjoyed the three in between too.

[GadoBovino]

This was the real Jamiroquai!

I just don't understand how can anyone like their songs now, when there's only a old and sold out JK left.

[rockdiga]

@GadoBovino Jk is now is dope as FUCK compared to like 99 percen tof the shit out anyways. no matter how you feel

[mrjangles1]

@GadoBovino

Honestly, I don't see how you can say that. People change over time, and if you listen to their albums, that's exactly what happened. They gradually evolved. They got interesting. Don't be a stupid purist.

[GadoBovino]

@mrjangles1

ok. I just don't see how concerning about the environment issues in 1993 evolved into driving fast cars and choppers in 2010. But that's ok.

[Maat922]

@GadoBovino JK actually addressed that in an interview a few years ago. He was also driving fast cars back then. See: 7WSaOT1I5DQ

[lauraazuly]

what a song! this album is amazing, Im Jamiroquai fan forever Jay´s voice wow i love it great band

please stop, don´t compare, this is about JAMIROQUAI

[sargeantwelsh]

this guy was saying we had an emergency in 1993, and now its 2010. any update on the current situation? *THIS IS HOUSTON, WE ARE EXPERIENCING A PERPETUAL SHIT STORM* damnit.

[xXxXFoolehCoolehXxXx]

Early Jamiroquai and Early RHCP are more similar than you'd think. :)

[gringochucha]

@xXxXFoolehCoolehXxXx mmmm, I don't really see it. RHCP were more rock-oriented. What is the basis for your comparison, musically speaking?

[xXxXFoolehCoolehXxXx]

@gringochucha

Early RHCP had a lot of funk vibes and they took a lot of their inspiration from early funk bands like funkadelic and sly and the family stone. So did JayKay and it showed in early jamiroquai with a lot of their funk songs. Both bands also have funk inspired bassists (Flea and Zender). The only difference in the early times of the band were that one was more jazz/acid jazz and one was more rock/punk.

[mietek94]

90's were awesome.

now Jamiroquai have got a chance to make a last stand for the real funk/acid jazz in this decade.

[DanteDevil2727]

Dang, I can't believe how young he used to be.... lol

[Valkoisen]

ohh the 90's..

[MrJacquin1987]

one of the sickest band i ever heard love all their music

[Saxowolf]

funky! :=)

[xhiemikal]

There is an emergency on the gulf of Mexico

[Ilovevidgames123]

@xhiemikal LMFAO! U made my life with that comment!

[iFanzine]

What's ironic is that songs like Emergency on Planet Earth and Virtual Insanity warn of technology ruining the world, and Jamiroquai's new albums are mostly techno crap, and getting worse...

[downjones72]

@iFanzine that's not true, listen again

[GadoBovino]

@iFanzine

True brother, true.

[BobbyLght]

Its great to hear someone someone with such a great voice sing for once. Fuck all this auto-tune BS, Jay Kay can sing with his own voice. Hopefully their new album in September goes back to the style of their first album.

[nwoiscom1ng]

@BobbyLght hey dude they bringing a new album out??

[crazykalu]

@nwoiscom1ng Yes, in October the new album is coming out, the first new song was in there debut gig at london, Rock Dust Light Star =)

But I think you already know that know lol

[Ilovevidgames123]

@BobbyLght I only just began listening to Jamiroquai's music today, but I wondered why Jay Kay didn't sing more himself in Feels Just Like it Should....

[FunkyCosmicGirl]

Love the "Old-Skool" Jamiroquai, so much soul and funk!

[1beyondtherapy]

am i the only one or someone did tamper with mr zender's bass line here?

[MeckelBot]

@1beyondtherapy same here, all juiced up

[superchip138]

ADIDAS!!!!!!

[isenification]

buena recreación de este video jamiroquai-que buena creación de esta maqueta de nave otro mensaje mas para el mundo un llamado de atención para el planeta tierra emergencia sobre el planeta tierra titulo de esta canción con un gran significado great buffaloman

[wigginsdesign]

Funny..a friend bought me J's first album when it was released and I listened but kind of dismissed it. Then about 6 months later I put it on and couldn't imagine what I'd been thinkin. I was blown away and became a huge fan. Saw him in the early days before virtual Insanity and later. In fact the first time I heard 'Virt. Insanity' album I was in the Tokyo Airport food court and a counter girl was playing it on her boom box. I was so excited that it became my travel CD across Asia

[danathor99]

you know its funny, this is from 1993, as well as the other two songs too young to die and when you gonna learn, and jay kay is barkin on about the earth bein in trouble, global warming etc. which has only bin portrayed so deeply in media, tv, music etc. in past 6-7 years.... this was made SEVENTEEN years ago, and the music comapny told him to stop making songs like this cauze these views dont sell records, and now look at it..... it really does make me laugh, jay kay your an epic man!

[ryanbrownnew]

i'd like to see them catch a ganja growing lab in outta space.

[trismegistos777]

No, it is fern

[arabfreak]

Is that a huge stash of weed on the back of their ship?

[tallulah4life]

I think MTV (US) is what broke up the band. They were fine until Virtual Insanity got recognized. Then, I think the fame sort of went to JK's head and it was the end of that Jamiroquai. New Jamiroquai is good too but old Jamiroquai was great.

[wigginsdesign]

@tallulah4life On one hand most great musicains reach a certain highest peak but that band during that period was the best. Nevertheless he still created some very cool songs after the peak

[eyehatepop]

@tallulah4life Couldn't agree with you more. I haven't heard the 2010 album yet but I'm not too excited...

[carmellac2000]

@tallulah4life they broke up? like seriously i thought it was rumor

[robotmaster123]

@carmellac2000 If they broke up, i got a reason to shoot myself, tho Jamiroquai keeps me going threw everything, JAMIROQUAI U GUYS R EPIC!

[ryuol8]

@carmellac2000 They made a new album this year. Rofl who the hell are these people getting this foolishness from? :/

[fifafelipe]

@tallulah4life yea the old stuff has more feeling to it, new stuff is ok

[xYellowFlashx]

Damnnnnn love this song sooooo much

[lauraazuly]

jay is a genious please zender come back meantime new album in 2010

[yeyoint08]

exlente tema . jamiroquai lo maximo...

[rebel3j]

imagine if they made a song with beck... oh my god that be the best soul music!!! i hope it happens

[cryspyfast]

that's just the most moderfuckinglyawesome shit I've EVER heard.. you're right, that would be sweeet..

[TravelertotheHell]

we got a emergency , this song is awesome

[fasteddy60]

Just cant sit still when Jay is on !!!

[atnorth]

You can tell global warming has been going on since then. Jay is wearing that giant, furry hat, which obviously means that it was freezing cold everywhere on Earth then.

[uirak]

@atnorth

you start to die, when you get born...... ?

[Jamirofan89]

Can't stop repeating myself - they are the best! This masterpiece just proves it.

Jay is sooooooo young!!!!!!!!!!

[MrJamiro1975]

el maestro por siempre jk en venezuela estoy yo para apoyarte en contra de la matanza de los animales....

[opkse]

buena!!!!!!

[pullupboy]

Jamiroquai were so much better in the early instrumental days

[baronzuela]

yeah dude , global warming exists since 1993

[titrano1985]

Qué manera de proporcionarme recuerdos estos vídeos del disco Emergency on planet earth.

Saludos desde Chile

[Joedrumz89]

metallica are the best fucking band in the world

and jamiroquai is amazing!

[OIFIG]

100% correct

[kalletheowner]

Dude metallica is like one of the most succsess full bands in the world, don't whine about them.

[owenhunt]

No one is "whining" about Metallica.

[kalletheowner]

Well kinda.

[lovelyflares]

Some one reaaly needs to go out and spend some money on some new albums ..SOON "!!!!

[jamihomer]

Muy bueno

[Domzdream]

Unlike Metallica, these guys are just growing and getting better and better.

[cinnamongio5]

OMG! ONE OF MY MANY FAVORITES BY Jamiroquai!!!

[lauraazuly]

jamiroquai are awesome jay great singer great funk great songs great beat great lyrics

[MrLolo36]

ilove jamiroquai !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[downjones72]

The sophistication of Jamiroquai's music is at least equalled by Chic and the music they made and played for Sister Sledge, Diana Ross etc. Amazing bass, guitar, strings... JK is a big fan of Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards.

[09lirical]

a love this well done jamiroquai great music every time

[yakovlev3a]

classic funk style!

[gibbers82]

Zender was the man !

[MikeTFP]

This video is so cheesy. You gotta love it.

[2base]

kinda true

[BreakerSizzle]

FUNK IS NOT DEAD

[Editor02Channel]

That is because Jamiroquai isn't

[then00best]

MarloweDK keeps funk alive

[KlashaB12]

funk is the best! but i only know of funk threw jamiroquai any other good bands or instrumentals that you can recommend?

[BreakerSizzle]

James Brown The Ohio Players Parliament-Funkadelic Earth, Wind, & Fire The Jackson 5 The Commodores Bootsy Collins The S.O.S. Band Sly and the Family Stone Prince KC and the Sunshine Band The Commodores

[KlashaB12]

thanks bro!

[BreakerSizzle]

No prob.

[donjupiter]

Dont forget ;

The Meters

Funkadelic

Fela Kuti

[BreakerSizzle]

Oops, put Commodores twice. Ah, well. Replace that with Wild Cherry.

[RATMfan92]

Yeah thats a good list. I'd add Kool & the Gang and Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'm so glad that you mentioned Prince. He's my absolute favorite artist of all time!

[birdynumnumz]

i may add O'Jays, Heatwave, Donald Byrd, AWB, Crusaders, Lonnie Liston Smith..:-))

[venuecam]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers are funk.

[SexyFatKid]

Never compare Jamiroquai and RHCP. That's terrible. :(

[venuecam]

The original question was asking what other bands are funk. I would never compare Chilli's and them. I love Jamiroquai way too much.

[CosmicBass3000]

RHCP was amazingly funky back in the day. On par w/ JMQ. RHCP mellowed (and some may say "sold") out over time, but they still create some gems here and there. Still, Jay & co. are my all-time favorite funksters. :-)

[CosmicBass3000]

@SexyFatKid Aw, RHCP are great in their own right. I've loved them since the 80s, before JMQ even formed. The original funky white boys - they rock, and Flea kicks ass. But JK's vocals are just a wee bit better. ;-)

[ResorteraTV]

@SexyFatKid Jamiroquai is the best talent of 90's

[bevski209]

@SexyFatKid I think they're both fantastic bands, with two (at least, originally) of the best bassists ever. Funky music, truly talented instrumentalists, and fantastic bands. I think they do have a lot in common.

[lissa948100]

@SexyFatKid RHCP used to be funky!! flea is one of the best bass player in the world and john frusciante is the best guitarist from the last 30 years!! even they are less funky but they're great and they have good songs (tell me baby,funky monks, taste the pain, give it away etc)

[pifou61]

@lissa948100 John Frusciante is the best guitar player in the past 30 years hahaha!!! what a joke.... If you RHCP you probably know that this band had a lot of turnover over the years, so he's been in and out.... and being a guitar player myself I can tell you he's an ok player - but don't rank him number one.... What about Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Eric Johnson, Paul Gilbert, Ron Thal, Dime? ....The list is endless....

[pifou61]

@lissa948100 Anyway there is not a best guitar player in the world, and if it was in the last past 30 years, that would be Angus Young.. End of story

[lissa948100]

@pifou61 a famous guitar magazine said that john frusciante is the best guitarist of the last 30 years your angus young isn't in this list end of the story...

[pifou61]

@lissa948100 trust your ears not the magazine... if you are a guitar player, you know that is bullshit

[lissa948100]

@pifou61 i'm a bass player and i think that they're right, but i respect your choice but for me John Frusciante is the best guitar player watch the video : John Frusciante guitar god or john frusciante guitar player ... if you want of course ^

[pifou61]

@lissa948100 I am not so impressed by these solos they are mainly always the same notes, thousands and thousands of guys are technically superior than him but he plays with the gut I must admit. But really I am sorry talking about playing with guts, listen to a Dimebag solo or Nuno Bettencourt... Btw, type guitar wars get the funk out, then you will see a real solo and some bad ass funk

[pifou61]

@lissa948100 and yes I like RHCP, I used to love em at the time of blood sugar sex magik but I kinda gave up after red hot minute... I understand why you like these solos, but you can't forget that the bass line behind is devilish and that helps a lot. Flea had always been the main pillar of the band.. Without him, a John Frusciante solo is kinda pitiful.

[Multiac]

@pifou61: lol..

[TheTastySoup]

@pifou61 hahahahaha, BOTH you and lissa# are wrong, there IS an absolute truth, and its in the MIND of a man, not just in his fingers, bow to FRANK ZAPPA, best musician/composer of all times. BTW, the first 3 records of Jamiroquai are AMAZING, like other bands that were mentioned, RHCP, Funkadelic, Parliament, Funky Meters, and a lot more. All awesome, and different/original.

[nomilktoday2]

I used to love RHCP, then I woke up to Jamiroquai!!! Never turned back!

[Gulyjam]

@SexyFatKid 'cause they're two different bands, with different styles.

[BrettHoustonTube]

@SexyFatKid

Why not, they have the same core influences?

[molochpancho]

@SexyFatKid both bands have great bass players. an I like the RHCP.

[D3M3l93]

If something, they play rock. You MIGHT call it funk rock, too

[Sida]

Both wicked bands....

[hono2010lulu]

とにかく懐かしいです

当時はＰＶを見たことがなかったから

これらの映像はすごく新鮮です

[D3M3l93]

"Is that live that I'm witnessing, or just another, wasted birth"

---

damn all songs the band has made have so good lyrics

[sniper120mm]

Is that life, not is that live! Fool.

[D3M3l93]

damn i failed :n

i've checked the lyrics 999 times tho

life*

[stah1973]

Everyone talks about their music (funky, etc), but lyrics are great also. Even in most pop-ish songs. Fresh, intelligent, funny, light... poetry of the first sort.

[ulfulkeisuke]

緊急！ジャミロクワイは、この頃から親日だったんですかね。

[shroomgurl]

we need more music like this. this is most excellent music

[poop4256]

BASS IS THE SHIT

[nickrbc]

This is my favourite.

[MikeTFP]

he looks like a kid here

[RATMfan92]

Because he nearly is :D

[Reeeatch]

Why can we make more music like this!!???

[Tougemaster06]

Because everyone is addicted to hip hop premadonnas and autotune.

[jamiroquai2x]

i love all his songs of jay kay but the last 2 albumnes, are no so good,,, they dont have the same feeling...

[2base]

THIS IS COOL JAMIROQUAI RITE HERE

[williamsland]

la cancion buena el video muy malo.......

[muistettavissa93]

this song has short lyrics, but they rock my mind like nothing else

[straub11]

the first line to this song is one of my favorite song lines ever. its the way he sings it

[oOJambiroquaiOo]

Jamiroquai is Love baby =)

[13ewe37]

Quite frankly,the best song of the entire bands history!! I don't like Jamiroquai latest album but i have my fingers crossed for their 7th album which according to them will sound more like their first and second album....

[Iskander67]

Great Great track !

I love the old school Jamiroquai. But now it's really good too. We have to admit that JK is older now, and the gigs will be different now. But there are great musicians : Matt Johnson is really jazzy, the chorus are sweet, Rob Harris is funky, and Paul Turner have a good slap bass (even if not the one-of-a-kind Stuart Zender style). Maybe Dynamite is a little bit weaker than other albums, but it was the end of Sony, the band was tired. Now it will be great you'll see ^^.

[mrfrazier123]

Zen on Bass...the whole sound changed when Stu left the group!

[SuperMaximo93]

Can't wait to get started on learning this song on my bass :D

[PigInFlight]

:0 he looks like a kid!

[greenaua]

one of the oldest tracks

[charlottethepirate]

i wish i was that lolly pop js sucking!!! O.o oh jealous of a sweet!

[fandelesluthiers]

I wish the same!!!

I WANT TO BE THAT LUCKY LOLLY POP!

XD

[Jamirodragon888]

Can you hear the rhythms of the universe ???

[tecampina]

The best of Jay K! 90's !
