The video is even better.
The song is a classic the video is great!!
Absolutely. The video was incredible, especially at the time.
Agreed. It was actually that long section where it slowed down that was cut. It was way too long.
💯
Not the same without the video
The bass on this track (and most of their stuff, frankly) is just sick.
Yes. The bass on the album "Return of Space Cowboy" particularly is disgusting.
Shhiiittteee... right from the jump on their debut album they were getting funky. "Whatever It Is I Just Can't Stop" Stuart Zender is a bad man on the Bass, no doubt!
Disgusting.
@@dr.juerdotitsgo5119 yeah. The bass on Manifest Destiny is insane. So subtle and sweet.
Stuart Zender FTW!!! Miss him as bassist with jamiroquai.. he was super funky!
Im a metal head but Ive loved this band for over 20 years
Same bro!
The composure of drums and bass in this band is addictive
\m/ Love their first album. Plus the groove and funk is undeniable.
First two albums!! ❤️❤️❤️
Same man. Played in Death metal n grindcore bands for over 20 years. Been a huge Jamiroquai fan for ever. Good music is good music.
Grossly underrated band. Whole album kills.
Def criminally underrated !!
Those first few albums were legendary
The music video is iconic. Everyone remembers seeing this on MTV and VH1 and losing their minds.
Space Cowboy, Little L, Canned Heat, Alright, You Give Me Something, Love Foolosophy and so many more! One of the most underrated ever, outside of Britain anyway
Little L so good he said it twice
@@pesmerga182 It was so nice, he said twice! lol
Seven days in sunny June, Cloud 9, and Automaton for later albums.
Don't forget about Little L. You missed that one.
@@carlosdavila8681 lol
Canned Heat has to be next. Napoleon Dynamite fans know
This group’s first 3 albums are outstanding and pleasurable listening experiences. Check out “When You Gonna Learn”, “Return of the Space Cowboy”, and “Alright”
'Alright' was probably one of my favourites Cedric. Great call pal. An absolutely amazing tune when they played it live on stage too along with 'Cosmic Girl'.
When you gonna learn is a blast! Also I really like Manifest destiny, Canned heat and Automaton. 💥
If you’ve ever seen Napoleon Dynamite, the final dance scene song is by Jamiroquai
I love Jamiroquai. They have so many tunes that need more love
This album is timeless!
I still listen to it, specially when driving...
Everyday and Cosmic Girl are musts!
Keep it up, guys!
Looking back it’s insane how this song was predicting where we are today.
It’s crazy hearing this song when you’re younger then coming back and really relating to the lyrics. They were making conscious dance floor music consistently
*edit he got the idea for the living underground when he went overseas and everyone was underground at the clubs. And the streets were pretty deserted
Jamiroquai is almost like an honourary menber of the "intelligent dance music" scene that was also popular when Jamiroquai were at their peak. Music that moves your brain *and* your body.
Yeah this came out close to 30 years ago and it's crazy how prophetic it was.The song blew me away back in the day. And the video was epic.
💯
Saying it sounds like Stevie Wonder was actually an eye opener for me. I’d never considered it before but that’s a super valid comparison.
It’s really obvious
Ive always thought this lmao
@@waynecanning4122it’s only obvious once you’re told 😂😂😂
@@waynecanning4122it’s only obvious once you’re told 😂😂😂
The second album, return of the space cowboy, deserves to be listened front to back. Its simply really really good.
This album is a masterpiece, and Stuart Zender is a bass genius!
So glad to see Zender get recognition. Truly a genius like ya said bro!
Stuart Zender is the GOAT and a true bass prodigy ❤
"Space Cowboy" is definitely the jam.
A song ahead of its time talking about how everyone lives together virtually than physically.
Also, Jamiroquai is one of the most underrated artist the world has ever seen.
Jamiroquai is a band not a single artist.
Instead of there being "no self," people are more selfish and isolated
Sure...underrated...35 million albums sold worldwide and you call them one of the most underrated bands in the world.
Jamiroquai have been of my favorite bands for years. Besides the obvious hit singles I've always loved their deeper cuts, like Tallulah, Manifest Destiny, Butterfly, Falling, Spend a Lifetime, Vitamin, just to name some. They rarely miss imo.
Black Capricorn Day, Black Crow, Half a Man, The Kids, Stillness in Time. Too many to mention ❤
The bassline in this song is absolute FIRE end to end ❤❤❤
Stu Zender is of another galaxy
This takes me back to my childhood. Being 12 years old in '96 and hearing this song... It was so ahead of it's time.
I am absolutely gratified and impressed that you did the longer version with the musical interlude. I had to hunt for this version on CD. When you get a chance, watch the video.
It's the first time I've heard the longer version, and I don't really like it. The interlude sounds like a completely different song was inserted in the middle. But to each their own I guess.
@@robhorsey9906this is the real version, otherwise cut for the radio
Jamiroquai really are a band worth doing a deep dive into. Their second album in particular - The Return of the Space Cowboy - is a masterpiece and completely stands up now. The musicianship is OFF THE SCALE, and the bass playing - by the master that is Stuart Zander - has never been surpassed by anyone imho. IT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
The whole album is fire 🔥 but one of my favourites is Scam - would love to see you check that out.
Totally agree, first 3 albums are their best in my opinion
You know it's funny. I've heard the song dozens of times and never actually listen to the lyrics until this video. The lyrics are way deeper than expected
Jamiroquai are genius. Loved them for over 20 years straight ❤
he scats a bit in the live performance of 'scam' japan tour 1995 i'd love for yall to react to that performance it's amazing, jay kay's mother was a jazz singer so he know what he doing for sure and the band is definitely heavily influenced by stevie wonder
His mother was a successful jazz singer in London
Guys! This is the Enter Sandman of Jamiroquai. You need to try Just Another Story or Manifest Destiny if you want the Master of Puppets.
He scats on “Too young to Die” which was one of their earliest singles
Canned heat is one of their funkiest and driven songs. Virtual Insanity was their biggest hit i think because of the video. But they have way better stuff. Its a good starting point though.
This and White Knuckle Ride are easily my two favorite JMQ songs. Absolute dance floor and day-to-day bops.
The bass player, Stuart Zender, was only 21 or so when this was released. Unbelievable.
Why? It's not that Impressive. Pretty basic.
@@bassage13 which is why every bassist does it...? very easy to say if you didn't create it. a line like this that seems basic and obvious is anything but. tone down the ego and you'll see that.
@@romulus_ But the music is terrible.
@@bassage13 interesting take -- you just proved that you don't know what you're talking about. more nonsense.
@@bassage13no it is not. When the first album (masterpiece) came out, he was 17 and he’s a game changer for the instrument
Jay Kay is a legend. Underrate front man, dude could sing, dance, had style and was an amazing live performer. There's this one concert I think in Italy where it rains the whole time, but he delivers anyway.
Also, anyone who has not seen the video should, it's legit one of the great ones.
Oh what a CLASSIC!!❤
I'll never forget Busta Rhymes at some awards show, might've been MTV Video, on stage and looking out into the audience and shouting "Jamiroquai!"
I couldn’t imagine listening to this track without having the visuals of the music video in my head! ❤
The video is fire!!!! Great reaction as always.
I love the video to this one -- it is such a cool effect.
Been a big fan of Jamiroquai for over a decade. Timeless sound. Their music will never got old. My favorite tracks are Space Cowboy and You give me something 👌
This is my Dad’s favorite Jamiroquai song and it’s such a sensational song 🔥🙏🏽 definitely appreciated video
One of my favorite musicians of ALL time...completely did his own thing..
OMG! You guys finally did Jamiroquai! I've loved this band ever since i first heard them with that song you just listened to 😎 There hasn't been a single album from them i haven't liked. I feel that their earlier stuff is def more jazzier and the later albums have been funkier. But all good and solid! Prob my absolute fav from them is Blow Your Mind from their Emergency on Planet Earth album (full 8m31s version) with a close 2nd being Two Completely Different Things off their Rock Dust Light Star album. I really, really, really hope you guys do some more Jamiroquai songs! Long time veiwer of you guys and absolutely love your drive and passion!
This song is dope. Haven't heard it in a while. I recommend Deeper Underground by them too (it was on the godzilla 98 soundtrack)
Certified banger
Ah! a man of culture and refinement.
I always felt they were the natural progression to Stevie Wonder's 70's works that he got sidetracked from for whatever reasons.
Sidetracked by the 80s
Jamiroquai "Travelling Without Moving" (1996 album): masterpiece. I also love heavy metal as some here have commented. It happens that generally those who like metal also like really good music, "sophisticated", regardless of the musical genre. Jamiroquai has other excellent records. A special band. I was at a very good concert by them here in Brazil (Free Jazz Festival in Rio de Janeiro) in the late 90s.
Jay Kay has a natural singing voice he got from his Mum who was a great singer herself. I think viewing his video or the concert from Verona will give you an idea of his talent because the man can dance while he sings and does it well. Enjoyed your reaction and I think you need to listen to more of his music because because he mixes it up a bit😊❤
One of my non metal obsessions has been Jamiroquai forever. So many great songs in their catalog.
Jamiroquai Nation is so happy. Yeah! I love this band for about 20 years. J.K. amazing songwriter and lead.
These sounds are definitely for the dance floor.
His voice, esp on this song, always gave me Stevie Wonder vibes too!
Cosmic girl you want funky ass bass to groove to. Deeper Underground if you want a fantastic rock bass groove.
You will love the funkiness and jazziness of Jamiroquai's track Tallulah.
I love this song 🔥🔥
Oh man! This was one of my favorite songs and videos of 90’s. This when music and music videos were at its best.
Funny enough, this is one of those songs where the video is more famous than the song even - one of the coolest music videos ever made. I would guess that very few have heard the full album version lol.
The music video is everything. It’s a must.
This song still bumps almost 30 years later.
A good song from the late '90s and in rare case, the video actually helps to make the song better. Even friends who had zero musical taste and not a single note in their body liked this song.
I remember playing this in high school band! Still holds up as a dope tune
I still remember watching the video with the moving sofas and the janky dance moves on MTV and I knew immediately that this song will be one of my all time favorites.
This will be the third best rabbit hole all time to jump into.
Takes me back. First time I heard this song I was in an E-club in Okinawa in 97. Ah. So many memories. Good song.
E-Club?? Were you on Kadena?? I was 1-1 ADA.
@@NILBOG13 I was in Camp Schwab but you know how we Marines have to take the loser cruiser to Camp Foster and get our groove on at the Globe and Anchor
@@PadreMortalis I lived in Chatan Housing on Foster. A quick walk to the shopette up the road where I got cheap Redhorse beer.
Hoping you'll view the official video! Such a soulful sound.
Have loved this song since I 1st saw the video on MTV. Actually bought the CD a few years ago.
The video to this song is possibly one of the best music videos ever made.
Ryan, this is the song that introduced hubby to Jamiroquai, and he initially thought it was a Stevie song he had never heard before. The album version, however, was not what was playing on local radio. The music vid version is what we heard initially. Btw, he loves watching their live vids here on YT.
Loves me some Jamiroquai! I remember first seeing them on BET TV when I was in college in the late 90s (old man here) and I loved the video. It was from their second album "Return of the Space Cowboy", and the video was the title track. There was a cool stationary camera moving in a circle, and Jay was dancing around it, plus it showed the other members. Really cool music, and their videos have always been really cool. The video to this track is legendary! Really ground-breaking stuff. Thanks for sharing this!
p.s. The band really was amazing. Drummer Derrick McKenzie always had a super tight playing style that really grooved, and keyboardist Toby Smith always had some great ideas that got you humming. Bassist Stuart Zender was really great as well.
❤ I've loved this song since it came out
Love Jamiroquai, great feel good jams and great for long road trips to just groove and keep the energy level up
Wow, you hit the nail on the head for my exact opinion of the length of the original vs. the video...the video snaps it off right at that little riff they do at the end and skips the breakdown, and it's perfect...it hits and leaves you wanting more rather than outstaying it's welcome...that can be such a fine line sometimes, and this is one time that the radio/video editors got it absolutely right.
Ahhhhhh i love this. Loved this song when it came out. Suuuuuuch a classic
Love this song! It's a dystopia you can dance to.
Love Jamiroquai. Favorite songs forever Cosmic Girl and Blow Your Mind. ❤
They have some of my favorite bass parts. Mr. Moon, Cosmic girl and traveling without moving are awesome.
This song cannot be heard without seeing the video in your head. Perfect branding before anyone knew what that even meant. True story.
Absolutely true ❤
I Have been listening to this album and the one after, nearly non stop the last 2 months. How timely!
Thank goodness they are listening to the album version. This is the version with the musical bridge and it sounds beautiful
Return of the Space Cowboy. And Blow my Mind. Skatting.
Always loved this song
bruh the video is so legendary. and this band, yes band, is pretty damn legendary. im 35 and have loved this song since the first time i heard it was back.
Another great Jamiroquai song: Canned Heat. Which, if you've seen Napoleon Dynamite, you've heard, because it's the song he dances to at the end of the movie.
The video on this is a must see. Great song!
This song is still in my running playlist. You can't help but it.
The video for this is an absolute BANGER.
I was so glad to be selling records during this time & I LOVED Jamiroquai but to watch him at the same time elevates the music so much cause he was so ahead of his time.
Ryan looked so bored during the whole thing, lol 😅
Absolutely love Jamiroquai! Go deeper into them... you won't be disappointed!
Excited for this one!
Never got into this band BUT so much respect. Appreciate it more now than at the time
I wishhhh you'd seen and commented on the video version but glad at least you are now going to. The video blew my mind when it first came out. I've always loved Jay Kay's moves.
The keys work on this song doesn't get enough love. Some really interesting things going on musically.
Damn this song takes me back. Might have to listen to the album again.
Jamiroqai is one of the greatest musical acts of the new millenium. :) This song represents a very dear part of my young life. The video of it is also insane - it redefined the medium in its time! You should check it out. Also, many other good songs from Jami - Cosmic Girl, Space Cowboy, Canned Heat ...
I was a year into college when this album dropped. Sunny days, smoking weed on our lunch breaks listening to this. Good times
The video lends so much more. They’re symbiotic
My teenager (15) loves Jamiroquai and enjoys when I blast their joints on the way when driving her to school!
Great song, Great music, great band, timeless as well! love it
I clicked on this video when I saw the title, but then I was a little bit disappointed that you guys were not reacting to the music video.
Such great road trip music!
ALWAYZ LOVED THIS GUY WHEN HE WUZ OUT!!!
