Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity (REACTION!) 

The video is even better.

Im a metal head but Ive loved this band for over 20 years

The bass on this track (and most of their stuff, frankly) is just sick.

Canned Heat has to be next. Napoleon Dynamite fans know

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

Grossly underrated band. Whole album kills.

The music video is iconic. Everyone remembers seeing this on MTV and VH1 and losing their minds.

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.

If you’ve ever seen Napoleon Dynamite, the final dance scene song is by Jamiroquai

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”

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.

This album is a masterpiece, and Stuart Zender is a bass genius!

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.

I love Jamiroquai. They have so many tunes that need more love

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

The second album, return of the space cowboy, deserves to be listened front to back. Its simply really really good.

"Space Cowboy" is definitely the jam.

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.

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.

The bassline in this song is absolute FIRE end to end ❤❤❤

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.

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.

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.

You can tell the bass player of this band really loves playing bass! His bass lines are so fluid and so much fun. I love it!

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

Jamiroquai are genius. Loved them for over 20 years straight ❤

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

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.

His mother was a successful jazz singer in London

This and White Knuckle Ride are easily my two favorite JMQ songs. Absolute dance floor and day-to-day bops.

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!!❤

The bass player, Stuart Zender, was only 21 or so when this was released. Unbelievable.

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!

I couldn’t imagine listening to this track without having the visuals of the music video in my head! ❤

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!"

The video is fire!!!! Great reaction as always.

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 song is dope. Haven't heard it in a while. I recommend Deeper Underground by them too (it was on the godzilla 98 soundtrack)

I love the video to this one -- it is such a cool effect.

He scats on “Too young to Die” which was one of their earliest singles

This is my Dad’s favorite Jamiroquai song and it’s such a sensational song 🔥🙏🏽 definitely appreciated video

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😊❤

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.

Absolutely love Jamiroquai! Go deeper into them... you won't be disappointed!

One of my non metal obsessions has been Jamiroquai forever. So many great songs in their catalog.

One of my favorite musicians of ALL time...completely did his own thing..

Love Jamiroquai. Favorite songs forever Cosmic Girl and Blow Your Mind. ❤

Jamiroquai Nation is so happy. Yeah! I love this band for about 20 years. J.K. amazing songwriter and lead.

Return of the Space Cowboy. And Blow my Mind. Skatting.

This will be the third best rabbit hole all time to jump into.

Cosmic girl you want funky ass bass to groove to. Deeper Underground if you want a fantastic rock bass groove.

The video to this song is possibly one of the best music videos ever made.

The music video is everything. It’s a must.

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.

Thank goodness they are listening to the album version. This is the version with the musical bridge and it sounds beautiful

I always felt they were the natural progression to Stevie Wonder's 70's works that he got sidetracked from for whatever reasons.

I love this song 🔥🔥

These sounds are definitely for the dance floor.

His voice, esp on this song, always gave me Stevie Wonder vibes too!

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.

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.

Oh man! This was one of my favorite songs and videos of 90’s. This when music and music videos were at its best.

You will love the funkiness and jazziness of Jamiroquai's track Tallulah.

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.

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!

This song still bumps almost 30 years later.

My teenager (15) loves Jamiroquai and enjoys when I blast their joints on the way when driving her to school!

Hoping you'll view the official video! Such a soulful sound.

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.

They have some of my favorite bass parts. Mr. Moon, Cosmic girl and traveling without moving are awesome.

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 ...

This song cannot be heard without seeing the video in your head. Perfect branding before anyone knew what that even meant. True story.

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.

This song is still in my running playlist. You can't help but it.

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.

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.

Have loved this song since I 1st saw the video on MTV. Actually bought the CD a few years ago.

The keys work on this song doesn't get enough love. Some really interesting things going on musically.

More Jamiroquai please~~ Space Cowboy, Canned Heat, Alright, much more

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.

Deeper underground is a must!

I was a teenager when this came out. It's still just as relevant, and slaps just as hard, 27 years later.

I remember playing this in high school band! Still holds up as a dope tune

The video lends so much more. They’re symbiotic

❤ I've loved this song since it came out

Stevie Wonder. First thing I thought of when I heard them in England back in 93. Great band with a bunch of great tunes. Worthwhile rabbit hole.

Excited for this one!

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.

Ryan’s impression of the music being wacky at the end made me spit my drink out laughing

One of my top 100 favorite songs of all time.

Ryan looked so bored during the whole thing, lol 😅

This is probably Jamiroquai's most well-known song, and also has one of the most well-known music videos (which I agree is a superior version of the track than the longer album cut). But I think their better songs are "Feels Just Like It Should", "Canned Heat" and "Little L", all of which are for sure worth your time.

The video for this is an absolute BANGER.

I listened to song for the first time in a decade about 2 years, and first thing I did was request a reaction from you guys. Better late than never I guess🤷🏿

You are the best channel at articulating what you Don't like and Do like about a song. I always I understand your position regardless of I disagree with your conclusion. Great work.

One of the best music vids of all time !

Ahhhhhh i love this. Loved this song when it came out. Suuuuuuch a classic

Yes finally. You need to react to their song "Scam." Jamiroquai is my favorite band ever
