I was in college when I first heard The Return of the Space Cowboy, and I had also just picked up the bass as an instrument a few years before that. Jamiroquai was like a revelation... and though they had their success, I'm surprised they didn't have more longevity (at least in North America). Their popularity kind of fizzled out after their 2001 album, A Funk Odyssey.

To be fair though, my interest in them kind of fizzled out at the same point. They had 5 solid albums up until that point. Maybe that was their golden age.

I remember in 1996 we heard that Jamiroquai was playing at a free festival in downtown Minneapolis.. we thought "dope! we're there!"

Drove downtown, paid for parking, worked our way through the crowd.. only to discover it was 'Jamerica', not Jamiroquai.

I felt cheated in life.

They're only known for a couple songs in the US at least but their whole catalogue is amazing! Definitely check it out if you haven't

Useless fun fact.

The name Jamiroquai is a portmanteau for Jam (as in a music jam) Iroquois (the Native American confederacy).

Yo how did they even do this video, is the floor moving or are the walls moving?

I recommend everyone listen to their entire discography if you're only familiar with this song and Canned Heat.

Canned Heat is another great tune and music video!

I watch this whenever I see the Family Guy skit referencing the music video
