    Lyrics:
    What we're living in?
    Lemme tell ya
    Yeah, it's a wonder man can eat at all
    When things are big that should be small
    Who can tell what magic spells we'll be doing for us
    And I'm giving all my love to this world
    Only to be told
    I can't see, I can't breathe
    No more will we be
    And nothing's gonna change the way we live
    'Cause we can always take, but never give
    And now that things are changing for the worse, see
    Whoa, it's a crazy world we're living in
    And I just can't see that half of us immersed in sin
    Is all we have to give these
    Futures made of virtual insanity, now
    Always seem to be governed by this love we have
    For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
    Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground
    And I'm thinking what a mess we're in
    Hard to know where to begin
    If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
    And now every mother can choose the color
    Of her child, that's not nature's way
    Well, that's what they said yesterday
    There's nothing left to do, but pray
    I think it's time to find a new religion
    Whoa, it's so insane
    To synthesize another strain
    There's something in these futures
    That we have to be told
    Futures made of virtual insanity, now
    Always seem to be governed by this love we have
    For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
    Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, wow
    Now there is no sound
    If we all live underground
    And now it's virtual insanity
    Forget your virtual reality
    Oh, there's nothing so bad
    As a man-made man
    Oh, yeah, I know, yeah (take it to the dance floor)
    I know I can't go on
    Of this virtual insanity we're living in
    Has got to change, yeah
    Things will never be the same
    And I can't go on
    Where we're living in
    Oh, oh, virtual insanity
    Oh, this world
    He's got to change
    'Cause I just
    I just can't keep going on in this virtual, virtual insanity
    That we're living in, that we're living in
    And that virtual insanity is what is, yeah
    Futures made of virtual insanity, now
    Always seem to be governed by this love we have
    For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
    Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, oh
    Futures made of, now, virtual insanity
    Now we all, we seem to be governed by a love
    For these useless, twisting, of our new technology
    And now there is no sound, for we all live underground
    Yes, we do, oh
    now this life that we live in
    (Virtual insanity) it's all going wrong
    Out of the window (living in)
    Do you know there is nothing worse than (virtual insanity)
    a man-made man
    (Virtual insanity) there's nothing worse than
    (Living in) a foolish man
    (Virtual insanity) hey!
    Virtual insanity is what we're living in, yeah
    Well... It's alright

    This song is timeless, it's raw meaning will be applicable as long as humans are scared of our own progression. The music is funky, unique and recognizable. And the video, while the cgi might be starting to show its age the rest is super weird and unique. It has a chillness but uncanny weird going along with it. Truly, a virtual insanity
    Edit:When I wrote this I didn't realize the Bird and bugs were not technically CGI, my point still stands that these implementations are still aged look

    i loved this song as a kid. it raised me when my parents didn't. I would play in on repeat on my hello kitty radio while playing my nintendo. I had every part of the song memorized. ever single beat drop.
    Flash forward ten years later im driving with my friend in the car. I start playing this song. we're vibing to it. get to *the part* and he starts singing, "dancing, walking, rearranging furniture." I questioned him and he just looks at me and says, "it's the family guy meme."
    I had no idea that the meme existed. my childhood is now a family guy meme.

    I rolled my eyes at first, seeing this song blow up, and be embraced by the youngsters who don’t have any context for it.
    But then I remembered that I like bands from the 60s and 70s, which I was most certainly not alive for the first time around. Good music is universal, a truly tasty jam is timeless and enjoyable on its own merits.

    God this has gotta be one of, if not the, coolest music videos ever produced. I was convinced the floor was actually moving through some crazy hydraulic shenanigans but the ingenuity is so amazing. I really can only tell the illusion in a few spots, and only because i had listened to the directors words and played it many times to see if i could really see it. Its damn near seamless and Jays moves along with the couches really sell the act. I dont know how to put this as a singer and not a dancer, but when he leans on the couch, the way he moves and angles his feet really look like the floor is moving beneath him. The only part i still have no real idea how they got was moving that really bit couch in a circle in the middle of the video.
    Just such a cool video

    • mark cox

      About to spoil the Magic here:
      (Spoiler alert 😮)
      The ‘room’ (walls, ceiling and camera) is one large mobile structure connected to each other on wheels in a massive empty warehouse. Furniture starts off connected to the walls and released when needed. Spinning the couch? Just doing the ‘room’
      You can even see it wobble a bit in the hallway configuration. (They probably didn’t reinforce the back of the structure with steel)

    • Cat in a Car
      Cat in a Car 28 days ago +34

      Took me a while to figure it out too but that seems to make the most sense to me. Camera is attached to the wall and the walls/ceiling move. With the camera attached, it looks like he's just sliding around.
      Either the wall behind the camera is open or he's got a whole lotta practice in the choreography of that video

    • mournwood
      mournwood 24 days ago +33

      The moving room was a clever bit of practical effects, but the choreography is what really sells the illusion. He moves in a lot of subtle ways that fool you, even when you already know the trick! I kinda wonder if he has had some training in pantomime, it's that good.

    Im so used to listening to singers with moderately good voices and good enough beats, but this guy is completely different. He has one of, if not, the best voices I have ever heard in this modern generation of music. The music is also incredible. If this song had no lyrics, it would still be better than most every beat composed by a modern artist. The combination of both his incredible voice, and the beautiful music, makes this one of, in my opinion, the best modern songs of all time.

    Fun Fact: The illusion of the floor moving was not created by the actual floor moving itself. The walls themselves are all being moved around, and the camera is mounted to the wall. Also all in one take. Pretty incredible.

      Room and chair moves on wheels and the chairs are hooked through the holes in the wall for when they want them stationary is my guess, what kinda confirmed that they're able to do that was the end where fake blood is pouring through one of the holes on the right.

      in short
      the wall is moving, and we as the camera point of view is moving with the wall so in our eyes thing that standing still on the ground is "moving" and thing that fixed to the wall moving along with it, is "standing still"
      there are indeed a few cut here and there of the video to change between some screen where a certain furniture is either fixed to the wall or not

    I'm convinced the more I see this music video, that Jamiroquai and the producer time traveled and back to create this work of art. How do you make something almost 3-30(?!) years old and still have it seem so futuristic and timeless?! Absolute a classic, and meme too! " _nothing worse then a-- man-made man_ " so whimsical!

  • 9600bauds

    I think this song is a very cool unintentional period piece. At the time of this song being written, genetic modification was the new, big, scary, potentially dystopia-inducing technology. Those fears seem almost dated now that the new, big, scary, potentially dystopia-inducing technology is AI. I wonder what new, big, scary, potentially dystopia-inducing technologies we'll see if we survive this one.

    I don’t say this lightly.
    This might be the greatest music video ever made. It’s not just that the execution and concept are both novel brilliant, it’s that you can’t even hear the song without immediately thinking about JayKay dancing on a moving floor. It doesn’t hurt that the tune is damn good. In fact, Cosmic girl, supersonic, return of the space cowboy, canned heat, Jamiroquai was loaded with good songs, how come they’re regarded as kind of one hit wonders in America?
