I remember seeing Jay Kay on Top Gear here in the States. He said the director was so concerned about the room being rolled around and the need for choreography. Jay Kay said he looked at him and said I've been dancing in front of my mirror in my bedroom my whole life. I got this. And so he did!!!!
The song is over 25 years old and still could be relevant if it came out in 2020...amazing!!
and 2023
and 2024
Every aspect of this song and video scream "smooth".
Ok go here it goes again is a great video if y’all still reacting to things like this ...actually all their videos are cool like virtual insanity
His voice is so reminiscent of Stevie Wonder. 👌💜
This will always be one of my favorite music videos. Combine a skilled dancer in Jay Kay and an innovative director in Jonathan Glazer and you've got a timeless piece of art.
They did it in 4 takes and the room moved, not the floor. One of the best videos ever made and one of the best songs of the 90’s.
This won the MTV Video of the Year in 1997.
I think it’s closer to 25 years... Yeah, 1996. I feel old now.
The floor wasn't moving, it was the walls
that's how they make the video, but in the "world" of the video the floor is moving
Same trick:
ruclips.net/video/36o7ScA7Q_0/видео.html
I always thought it was the floor!! Mind. Blown. Jonathan Glazer - The Making of Jamiroquai's Virtual Insanity: ruclips.net/video/MzwY7ii582Y/видео.html
what really sells it is the dancing. he makes it look like he's fighting a treadmill floor so well.
This is how you should start talking about "magical ILLUSIONS" and "different sets of coordinates interacting with each other" in school ... like someone in a car perceiving "the world passing by" but someone outside just sees the car move.
I was about their age when I first learned about Jamiroquai. So refreshing to see their reactions because I had about the same reaction as them!
The late 90's like 1995 or 1997 to 2013 so many great artist & indie bands between between those years
proud of my generation
ha !
there were a few good 'uns,but compared to the 60's and 70's?
behave yourself.
@@TheCornishCockneyokay just because the 60s and 70s had their time it does not mean the 90s music speaks to humanity and forecasting what is going on in the future the younger generation are enjoying it so give them some credit
Fun fact about the music video, it's not the floor that's moving it's the set around him, as it is explained in the making of video.
It's weird to consider this, but he's not being pushed and pulled at all. He's the only thing that's still (or the couches when it seems like they're "moving" with him). The "wind tunnel" scene was just a bunch of guys holding onto the wall and staying still while the set moved backwards.
@@neil2444 It's insanely creative.
3:16 When dad remember the old times, me too brother...me too, great song and video clip also.
And they were good times! 😁
I'm sure this video one 'best video of the year' back in the day. Still better than most music videos being released today !
I was 17 when this came out and I never thought it would become more relevant every year since
Oh i LOVE this Jamiroquai video, good choice, My favourite video is "Like a Rolling Stone" by the Rolling Stones.Coincidentally, JK, lead singer of Jamiroquai makes a split second appearance in the video.
For 'video', try:
"An honest mistake" by The Bravery. I just love how it ends lol
Also, Jamiroquai predicted our -now normal- twisted reality....
How do you know they werent tallking about back then?
The thing to realise with this video, is Jay Kay remembered where the
sofas and couches were going to move depending on the backstage grips
and prop masters, the treadmill style flooring and walls, and the choreography... and he then ad-libbed all of his moves because he simply knew where the props were going to move.
At the same time miming the words to the song so it matched the song.
From what the director of this video said, the walls are made to move, and they have set bolts on the walls to make sure the couches don't move when they don't want them to.
Thank you for the info.....Did not know that!
Geeks of Mucklebee you didn’t mention there track ‘Light Years’ Great video to watch, but even better to watch them perform it live ruclips.net/video/dbi-iNOIoSw/видео.html
Fun fact: the base player was 17 years old when the band formed... 17!
This song is my jam from the late 90s.. why cant there be any singer like Jay Kay anymore. that guy's voice has got soul!
It’s tragic authentic good music is almost extinct
So the set (walls and everything) is basically a giant cage on wheels. They took it and found a giant warehouse with a grey smooth floor and they fixed cameras to the cage and roll it around so when he's standing still it looks like the room is moving around him. The chairs move or stay in place because they also had wheels and they locked them in place to the walls so when they want the seats to move they just release the lock and boom, chairs are "gliding along the floor on their own".
One of the most incredible videos ive seen is from the Avalanches - Frontier psychiatrist.....weird but amazing.
the boy needs therapy
..lie down on the couch...well what does that mean?...your a nut, your crazy in the coconut
the camera was apparently actually fixed to the surrounding which moved, i.e the camera along with the walls and ceiling moved about, the floor remained static except the armchairs that were moved separately via remote controls.
Oooh, here's a few of mine:
'Sledgehammer' - Peter Gabriel. 'Red Hands' - Walk Off The Earth. (Apparently all done in one take!) 'A Kind of Magic' - Queen. 'Happy Hour' - The Housemartins.
J.K. The fastest 'Star in a reasonably priced car' on the old Top Gear for a long time.
"Starlight Brigade" by TWRP. It's like a full 80's anime movie, exploring the use of light and color as a metaphors for hope, that only takes a few minutes to watch, and fits perfectly to the song. Even though the guest singer is from a very NSFW band, this song is completely clean.
The secret to this video was that it's not the floor moving, but the entire room moving instead and with the camera fixed in place on the front end. Furniture not meant to move was fixed against the moving walls and then undone to "look" like they were moving lol
I like too much this music. I like too
"Space cowboy"
When this video came out I must have watched about 100 times. I was obsessed with it and the kids so amazed by it.
as a Dad, love the interaction you have with your kids, great - Jamiroquai aint bad either ;-) love their vid too
I know I'm super late to the party by what 24 months but there's a tutorial video Jamiroquai shows you how they did the video and indeed the floor wasn't moving so that makes it even more awesome and his footwork that is
No, it wasn't done in one take. Generally when they panned to the bird or the bugs, they were resetting for the next shot. Also of note, the ending didn't work out. They intended blood-like fluid to stream from the walls but it failed to work. All they ended up getting was a trickle from a hole in the background. You can just perceive it if your look for it.
Most impacting videos?
Closer - Nine Inch Nails
Wicked Game - Chris Isaak
Hurt - Johnny Cash
Take On Me - A-Ha
One - Metallica
Everybody Hurts - REM
Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel
Thriller - Michael Jackson
You have lovely kids. Some of these might not be recommended for younger people.
Wonderful to see this new generation enjoying something from our time (years ago). Keep up the reactions! You have a lovely family!
Thank you Balthazar :)
New Sensation, INXS
The room and camera are connected and the entire room is on rollers, so simple but so effective
When this song first came out the internet was a new thing
You're right...and it's still relevant. We're going crazy trying to get the latest gaming consoles, smartphones, etc. Great song
“Try” by Michael Penn. one take in longest hallway in the world. Directed by film legend pt Anderson. Look for cameos by a few movie stars.
The best Jamiroquai song is buried on the Dynamite Album… Talulah. Smoothest song ever bar none. It’s their best.
As long as you're doing music videos, and as long as the King of pop is in the cards, I have three simple words:
REMEMBER. THE. TIME.
Glad to see you’re raising your kids to question the narrative. 🧐🤔❤️I think the secret is the set/camera is moving rather than the floor/Jay.
The roots- what they do. One of the most prophetic hip hop vids of all time, and my favorite song.
My favourite music video is Drop from The Pharcyde. An innovation in the 90's Hip Hop music videos and very influential. For reference Memphis from AG Club or I Wish I Missed My Ex from Mahalia. I love the backwards video idea!
This video was easily created by having the walls moving and attaching and detaching the furniture to the walls by just screwing them to the walls. The camera is also rigged to the frame holding the walls.
So all the walls are moving with the camera as one frame, and furniture that got fixed into place. So there is a whole team that hold onto handles on the outside, and he would be dancing in the middle while the director was shouting move up/down/left/right and stop all the time.
So no... no moving floor. Just a fixed boring old grey concrete floor.
Back in the 90's this video was one of a kind, no one had done anything like this before and the reaction to it was insane.
The genre of the band and this song is acid-jazz, or jazz funk. The song itself is lamenting the proliferation of technology in our society, at the expense of human connections and preserving our environment.
Favorite music video, no question:
SORROW Pink Floyd 1994 Pulse concert
The while concert is worthy of a watch, you'll never see a comparable stage show combined with EPIC live music! So clean, so clear and hits every fibre....
No CGI in this video, just a couple of guys moving the 3 walls around on ball-bearings. The couches and armchairs were all stationary, but the way the camera was positioned it made it look like everything was sliding around.
Such a sweet video. Cheers from USA!
I am not a big Fan of that kind of music, but this song hit me in the 90s.
Me too.....But I do love Jamiroquai
The small room was on rollers with a crew of men pushing it around. The camera was on a fixed head. The couch and chairs were attached with hooks that could be released. When the camera tilted up or down to follow the bird and roach that was an edit point.
Check out Chemical Brothers "setting sun" or Basement Jaxx "where's your head at".
Loved this one from the first time I saw it! Excellent choice!
I would nominate Michael Jackson's Black Or White. Morphing was a fairly new technology at the time and this video was astounding!
Terrific ☺ . Thank you very much Mucklebees ♥
No BS.. you're a good Dad.. (imma taking a few notes right now) LARGE up Mucklebee fam!
Love the conversation you and your kids have. Nice reaction guys this was a refreshing vid. Cheers
This just never gets old. It's a pretty perfect video. I'm also really partial to Audrey Nuna - Damn Right.
the ultimate music vid in my opinion?
Queen with Innuendo.
It was done in four takes. The chairs were sometimes bolted to the wall, sometimes not. But it was the walls that moved.
It`s realy hard to choose one favorite video. One that came first into my mind is "Land of confusion" by Genesis. Another would be "Danny California" from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, "murder on the danceflor" by Sophie Ellis-Bextor.
Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice
Mad World - Gary Jules
Weapon of choice 🙌🏼
'Everything's changing for the worse, he's so right'. That's a nice message for the children, even tho it's true.
Superb song and for me the most creative and classiest music video ever. Nice bit of education dad ;))
One of my all time favourite music videos is GUY an art pop film by lady gaga ♥️ I’ve also liked and subscribed x
Great artist , great visuals and super song. Also great choice from you 😃
My favorite video is too young to die by jamiroquai
I would like to suggest these videos:
Beastie Boys - Intergalactic, Shake Your Rump, 3 MC's one DJ and Shadrach (the abstract impressionist version)
Absolute - Sebastian.
Definitely “Take On Me” by Ah Ha. Great 80’s video👍
The floor was not moving. The entire structure was being slid back and forth. Saw a “making of” video years ago.
Heart stearway to heaven
This might be a bit err bloody, but Royal Blood - Out of the Black is a good one. Barbie Girl by Aqua's great too.
Hmm. Great music videos.
Fatboy Slim - Weapon of Choice
Starset - Monster
Pearl Jam - Jeremy (they're probably not ready for that one)
Gangnam Style - Psy
Ghost - Cirice
Any Michael Jackson song
Or if you really want to confuse them, I Am Above by In Flames. It's just a single shot of a guy's unblinking face for four minutes.
Loved the reaction, this is music worth watching, dad is introducing to wonderful music.
Thank you Ruth 😁
Genesis - land of confusion
Peter Gabriel (any music video, this man is insane and they are all extraordinary)
I'm sure others have said it. It's not the floor that is moving. It's the walls.
Btw, it the walls were moving, furniture affixed some of the time to the walls, or the floor
This is one of my three favourite video/song combos. The others are U2 - "Vertigo" and Janet Jackson - "Someone to Call My Lover".
U2: ruclips.net/video/98W9QuMq-2k/видео.html
Janet Jackson: ruclips.net/video/jWd9IgPktA4/видео.html
I LOVE Jamiroquai and Jason Kay. You're right, it's hard to describe because they ARE unlike anything else.
You guys are sooooooo cute!! Love your accents, as well.
Do "Alright" by Jamiroquai.
Venus Fly - Grimes feat. Janelle Monae is a visually super cool video.
What brings a smile to my older-millennial face is focusing on the faces of these kids. You can just recognize the 'whoa, cooooool' vibe immediately ;)
great reaction, great some choice. and it was uploaded on my birthday.
so i think that needs a subscribe. x
The floor doesn't move. The walls and ceiling are all on wheels and the camera is attached to the room so when the room is moved the camera goes with it. That's how he manages to stay upright. Great video though
Haru Haru from Big Bang, which is a Kpop group. The song is beautiful and the video tells a truly heartbreaking story, it makes me cry every time....it’s funny that u mentioned Kpop reminded u of Jameroqui, (I know I spelled that wrong)the first time I ever heard kpop, I thought the exact same thing, not sure why, lol.....😁
Please react to "Little L" and "Cosmic girl " by Jamiroquai .Thanks for the reaction!
The set was on a big gimble that tilted here and there. The walls and camera floated around. Old school. No CGI. All in camera stuff. Think it won MTV Best Video award
My favourite music video is Epic by Faith No More. Love ya show
Let Forever Be by The Chemical Brothers.
Still one of the most clever videos, IMHO.
Soul Education Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏
The video that has and still does captivate me is Jeb Corliss, Grinding the crack.
Ok Go has some of the most awe inspiring videos. Needing/Getting, This too shall pass, I won't let you down, the one moment. Each of those will blow your mind, young or old. Daft Punk's around the world has great visuals and choreography too, but contained. Björk it's oh so quiet, army of me, joga.
This is a 20 year old prophecy that came true. We locked in pods underground living virtual lives with virtual friends and virtual families in a virtual insanity but once in a while you can see the bugs on the edges the (nevermore) raven lurking the blood under the sofa, all streamed from ever-shifting rooms with 1 perspective 1 performance front and center. Do we live in a reality or a virtual reality?
"It's a wonder men 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"
"Future's made of virtual insanity now
Always seem to, be governed* by this love we have
For useless, twisting, our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound - for we all live underground"
4:32 a day to choreograph and a day to shoot.
Fun fact the floor is not moving the walls are and you see s the seats are attached to the floor
they release the seats one time
C’mon dad you should know the floor isn’t moving…it’s the walls that’s moving 🤦♂️ 😂
Sitting with your own kids in front of a cam, streaming your stuff into all this craziness, reacting of all of the songs to this one, has a tad bit of irony - don't you think?
Jamiraqui deep under ground was a great video
they all smiled at the same time at this lol 1:46 awesome
Check out Peter Gabriel "Sledgehammer" video. Hundreds if not thousands of hours of stop motion animation.
I’m still don’t understand how it works, but the walls moved. Not the floors. 🤯
Sound garden, black hole sun music video intrigued me as a teen,
Tbh I still love Push it to the limit and the clip that it plays in in Scarface
Love the relationship you have with your kids ❤ my daughter's 18 and has no interest in sharing music with me 😂😂😂
I am very lucky. Give it a go. Listen to ten songs your daughter loves, then listen to ten songs you love. You may be surprised by her willingness!
@@GeeksofMucklebee yes! I realised I hadn't been interested in her music either! I'm learning 😂 all the best x
Dirty Vegas "Days Go By" is an exceptional video! Anything by OK Go.
