They had balls to put this song as the 2nd single, of probably the most anticipated album of 1999. This videoclip was one of the most expensive ones ever. One of the most experimental song of the mainstream music, I love it. For example 99% of songs has the "clap" on beat 2 and 4, but here the clap is unpredictable and catchy. Also mixing house music with samba, indian music and Didgeridoo is crazy. The song has no chords in a traditional way, just a bassline and a simple melody : Everything here is about the rhythm, the dynamic, and the weird choice of instruments.
The whole song just blows my mind, but the part where samba begins just gives my eardrums an undescribable ecstasy!!! Brilliant sound and video altogether. Still one of my fave vids ever!!!
Not ahead of the time. Not only was this sound a popular one in electronic music, the way Jamiroquai does it hasn't even been replicated. Can't be ahead of it's time if it's in its own and hasn't been contested or replicated
Loving the didgeridoo! I remember seeing Jamiroquo play in my hometown of Sydney, Australia 16 years ago, he had a beautiful Aboriginal man play the part live... it kicked ass and everyone went crazy!!!
@@colninja1570 Jay has said that they kinda made it a little about weed after the song was made IE for the video.. It was more about where he was in life. BUT who give a shit cus weed is not drugs.
I'm a young gen Z I wish I was here back then it would've been awesome 😭 I feel like I'm way ahead of my time honestly.... :') even communicating with people my age has become a challenge.
Oh yeah! I had so much fun then. That decade had the perfect balance between techo and innovation and the personal touch of traditional human relationships and You could feel that in music.
Jay Kay ,what an iconic man!!! His way of dancing is something amazing, the sound of that didgeridoo is hypnotic... the song is fantastic. Thumbs up at a supersonic speed!!! 👍🏻👍🏻🎶🎵🎶❤️❤️❤️🇮🇹🙋🏻♀️
When i first heard this track on the radio there were some interferences and i didn't even understand the music, later i lsaw it on TV : a masterpiece of music and video....fantastic inspiration..
Imagine if this got remastered like with what he did with Virtual Insanity. I want to see Jamiroquai do more remasters of their music videos, especially of their older ones, like Light Years, Little L, Runaway, King for a Day, Canned Heat, Cosmic Girl, and Space Cowboy.
For those who can't figure out how the video was made; Each person is recorded separately (with green background), and they move at half speed. Then each person is put together and their moves are accelerated at double speed. (that's how the "freeze" moves are done)
Lucas Domanico, must be a electronic and synchronized crane or dolly because I thought the same, but, how the move so perfect together? If the camera goes left, they all go right. Maybe they were recorded together, makes more sense to me.
This has got to be one of the most contemporary songs ever played on MTV back in the day. It follows no genre of pop.... still they dared to release it as a single.
I remember buying this as a single first because I simply couldn't wait 'till the album came out xD Then playing it on repeat everywhere 'till everyone else's ears bled. Some people in my life didn't like the song - which in turn became a very easy way to distinguish between those with taste and vision and those without :) Thank you, Jamiroquai!
I've been looking for this song and video for eleven years. I once saw it one night I disobeyed my parents to go to sleep and since then I always wondered and time to time I searched and asked for it, no one knew it. DAMN IT FEELS GOOD
The shot of Wallis coming into frame with the didgeridoo at 1:31 is otherworldly. It sounds amazing with the music, then you see it, and it hits you again Anyone else agree?
@@FreemanBBFQyupppp like the shot at 1:20. It’s like Jay Kay went “be right back. Have to pick up a friend”, and within ten seconds you see Wallis come into frame 😎
2018!!! sigo sosteniendo que el rock y en este caso el funk! o disco lo que sea!!! se puede bailar y pasarla bien!!! no hace falta la mierda esa de Reggaeton y cumbia!!

Iskander67 agree. But. There is a steady snare on 2 and 4. :). And the handclap is all over the place.
Yeah!still got the chills of this 🤯😜👌
Most expensive my ass. Do you know Madona had the most expensive. She break everything in that video. Good luck finding it.

This guy was waaaaaaaaaay ahead of his time, this still fresh AF in 2021, love Jamiroquai

@@pentexsucks43 true true! totally agree
Coolest band birthed in the 90’s, by far. Brit-funk forever. Jamiroquai forever.
RIP Toby. 🙏🎹
1999: me glued to the TV screen drooling watching this
2019: same, only its a PC monitor now
2019 PC or Smart Phone
Hard to believe this was 1999.....So ahead of everything, and Gettin' it D.O.N.E.!!!!

absolutely true

Back in '99, this was the best new bass line around.
Exactly. This song is relatively near the time I bought a new sound system for my car
and subsequently broke it on my way back home
best music all the time
The band still has the best baseline.
2020 and this song still sounds fresh !
In the whites of his eyes
There's a supersonic vibe
You can tell by the tears
He's a warrior who cries
He's supersonic
I think he's supersonic!!
thanks for that comment!! kudos.
Any time my friend!
Jamiroquai had a symbol to
Man, I'm so glad I was a teenager during the 90's! It was SUCH an awesome time. ❤️

For sure. I feel sorry for this generation. The music is tripe 😂
Same ❤

how can one man be this cool..?
Just by being Jay Kay
Jamiroquai is a band, not a person.
When i first heard this track on the radio there were some interferences and i didn't even understand the music, later i lsaw it on TV : a masterpiece of music and video....fantastic inspiration..
man....the bass and didgeridoo of this song are pure gold!
This video is soooo Crazy!!!
JAY is such a COOL frontman for the band! So versatile,
so energetic, so entertaining!
SUCH A STAR!!!
The didgeridoo is such an awesome counterpoint to the electronika elements... a very unique and awesome song.
'Man that sh*t is trippy' 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
i miss Jamiroquai .. i really do
One of the best Jamiroquai's songs
Imagine if this got remastered like with what he did with Virtual Insanity. I want to see Jamiroquai do more remasters of their music videos, especially of their older ones, like Light Years, Little L, Runaway, King for a Day, Canned Heat, Cosmic Girl, and Space Cowboy.
This, Black Capricorn Day, & King for a Day all need remasters badly
I love these funky bands, amazing. Jamiroquai is one of my dear favorites.

NOT ON THE BASIS OF SIMON KATZ GUITAR
You sir are a scholar and a gentleman!
this was never the mistery, i want to know how are they so synkronized with each other and the camera
@@shinji5217 ...because they are Jamiroquai!
Futuristic and yet there's something very primal in this.
Even thought its 22 years old, this song/video makes me feel super connected to the world, I love it!
Wallis Buchanan on the Didgeridoo absolutely owned this song, wondering why we don't have more Didgeridoo players on mainstream music?
Everyone talks about how brilliant Jay Kay is, but not much love for Toby Smith. Let's hear it for him! RIP Toby
One of the best music video's ever created!
I agree
I agree x2
This has got to be one of the most contemporary songs ever played on MTV back in the day. It follows no genre of pop.... still they dared to release it as a single.
Fun fact! This song was originally for TLC!
@@stjosephhighschool1 What noooo. Tell me more
Bass in this tune is just amazing !!!! each time i wanna move like if it was the last day on earth !!!!
We need a supersonic remastered version!
We absolutely do! this needs a re-launch.
@@Ciclopea2 Yes, Indeed we really need this as an relaunch. It also could be included on a Best Of Album .💿 Imagine, that would be amazing!!!
Yes! 👍
I love this video. The creativity is off the hook!
Awesome
His songs are still timeless🖤
I just simply cannot figure out how this video was made. The camera angles and the freeze framing of body motions blows my mind.
It truly is a one of a kind video. It's mesmerizing.
+Thefireball Probably it's a mysterious twist of normal recording, stop motions, and multiple cameras technique.
+Mr. Moon I just want to watch the behind the scenes.
I have search it around the internet...
But unfortunately I don't found one. Probably they didn't make the BTS scenes.
"Don't you know that now you Blow My Mind!"
Big sound coming from space !
I think it's Supersonic ! 💫✨
Still sounding fresh as fuck in 2015 x
Could be little refreshed though
spreadthelove77 All songs of Jamiroquai always sounds fresh.
2017 too!!
Even 2021 man!!
And 2021
The first jam to feature a sitar AND a didgeridoo!
Pienso que es una cancion super cool !!!!! la escucho y regreso a 1999!!! esta muy chingona!!! recuerdo estar en muy buenos antros en CDMX!!!
No mms la ponían en los antros en ese tiempo? Si encuentro un lugar donde pongan esta canción a todo volumen en ese tiempo, moriría d felicidad
Still Supersonic in 2019!!!! J.K. simply the best!!!! :-*
Even after 10 years i still want to listen to this once in a while. I loved and still love it!
this is the coolest music video ever and no one can tell me otherwise
Supercool, still sounds fresh and contemporary!
Очень необычная песня для Jamiroquai, выбивается из общего стиля исполнителя ,Super..🙂
I love Jamiroqua I can listen to them for hours non stop.
one of the best bass line ever!
The Didgeridoo needs to be in more songs
Wallis Buchanan needs to make a return
Alex Mix together a didgeridoo, accordian, bagpipes and a banjo.
Sound really rocks
another usage of didgeridoo in pop song that I can think of is "I know" by Placebo
This piece is suficient
Now this one is unique and catchy. Look at the crowd going nuts.. can't blame them at all 😀

DAMN IT FEELS GOOD
I listen to this album all the time! I get lost in it, love every song!
I think "Supersonic" is a definite outlier in Jamiroquai's output. And it is my favorite song of theirs.
Love the bass in this track, was my fav from the album ❤
The Song I fell in love of Jamiroquai with!!!! Simply Amazing
Este video me encanta por el impacto visual y lo sincronizado de la música con el video; es espectacular
We really need a 4k version with 2018 technics, love it when this video when came out, back in 1999 i think!
Best video ever!
EDM's purest form...Bigup Jamiroquai,never afraid of Experimenting. Now that's Art
I have good memories with this song...... 1999 I miss you so much lol
Another absolute slept on gem!🙌
It's better that he didn't die, he's still alive
2:23-2:40 that's my favorite part, samba of full life.
Such a gud ol' klassic.
Brings bak ma childhood memories.
Listened to tis while in primary
:3
Happy birthday Supersonic 😃😎
he is a amazing dancer,wouldnt you say
Jamiroquai somente uma palavra em 2022: "sensacional"!
I was in HMV one day (remember that shop) with hardly any money, when this came on. I spent my last tenner on this CD. Money well spent.
How many years have I loved this song now? I forget. Plenty.
I love the sound of the Didgeridoo
la decada de los 90 como la extraño por la buena musica
It's 2020, and it's still the best video clip ever
Love it everytime I watch I feel I'm there with them..
Una bellissima canzone di Jamiroquai
masterpiece
Men this is amazing like currently 4k XDDDDD I wish watching this in 360, and the song is GOLD 4 ever.
still love this song to this day
crazy music it's intense .....i love you jamiroquai
Lipapa.. aku dulu suka banget sm jamiroquai. Aku lupa lagu ini.
Eeehhh ketemu lagi. Diulang2 enak bener ..
Ga ada tandingannya musik jaman dulu
Will always love them love the clip
This song is one of the greatest!
Insanely amazing ... Dance dance .
Насколько же вкусно смотреть! Почему такого качества в клипах нет спустя столько лет?
Amaizing, I love it!
Jammy you best dancer🤘😀
the edgiest video 🎶 love it love it love it
At the beginning of his career, his mom made his hats 😍😍😍
The Under-Rated Group and FrontMan on the PLANET!!!
The shot of Wallis coming into frame with the didgeridoo at 1:31 is otherworldly.
It sounds amazing with the music, then you see it, and it hits you again
Anyone else agree?
I hear ya! The whole clip is actually amazing with those movements and lights and all
@@FreemanBBFQyupppp like the shot at 1:20. It’s like Jay Kay went “be right back. Have to pick up a friend”, and within ten seconds you see Wallis come into frame 😎
Como me encantaba esa canción, el funk es de lo mejor para pasarla bien
I adore this guy and his "creations"
way toooo cool, great song!!!!!!!!!!!!
Simplemente buenisisiisismo!!!!
legend has it, when you say the word "supersonic", this song plays in the skies
One of their greatest songs!
The most spaced out cowboy ever!
This brings me back to 2006 when my dad would play this song and Planet Home over and over again. Ah, good times.
Esta música me traz muitas lembranças... Tempo em que a vida era mais simples... ^-^
Sick video! I didn't know they made one for Supersonic!
Fue un excelente concierto :) yo también lo estaba esperando desde hace bastante.
Saludos
Someone asked me today...what song has a Didgerredoo that is prominent in a pop/dance song.I chose this..plus the clip is tripping balls.
SI FI great story..
Sepultura used it in their song Attitude (live Ozzfest 1996). check it out.
This is AWESOME!!!
2018!!! sigo sosteniendo que el rock y en este caso el funk! o disco lo que sea!!! se puede bailar y pasarla bien!!! no hace falta la mierda esa de Reggaeton y cumbia!!
