ouch, jamiroquai is my favorite band. shame to see them go out already.

(canned heat is far from their best song, though. dammit seginus.)



I don't think I'd even heard of them before Se7en's topic. Is Virtual Insanity (one of) their best song(s)? I haven't gotten to it yet, but that was nominated over at his topic and I have some interest in at least listening to all the nominated songs.

better version


Amusing, though I don't know that it would have done any notably better or worse than the original.

Nominator: Se7enthrust (7/10)


Like "Supper's Ready", this song feels like it was filling out a checklist of things I like.


80s pop music? Check.

Obscure references? Check

Fictional Bands? Check

Fiction within fiction? Well, I doubt this band exists in Blood Dragon, so...yeah, I'll list this as a check.

Cheesy songs about friendship? Check.

Distorted electric guitar? Check.



The difference is that while Supper's Ready's checklist resulted in an over twenty minute long odyssey of total insanity unlike anything I'd ever heard before, this song is generic enough that I feel like I've heard it a thousand times before. And it feels so ridiculously on the nose in terms of appealing to me that it kinda loops around to being mildly annoying.

[FINAL NOTES: I think adorable baby animals and Gundams are the only two interests you didn't check with this song.]
