    Because those videos were grating and cheesy.

      It’s also called a “rap à fromage” in french (true).

          Yes, pronounced “rap” though (I suspect the joke wouldn’t have gone through without my errors :-/ )

      This song frustrates me because the video is insanely cool, but it’s not even close to their best song. IMHO the very next song on the CD is so much better.

        There was a solid 15 years where that whole CD was my fuck album. Great sex music (except for this song).

        Also, you’re right. That whole album was incredible.

          All their shit is incredible. I feel like if we’d appreciated them back in the 90s we’d be in a better place as a planet

        “Alright” is my favorite track off that album. Excellent fuck music.

        Jamiroquai is the band. Jay Kay is the frontman.

        They’re British

    I’m here because I thought it was a Tool album cover. So, I guess that’s kinda close?

    Looks like the Michael and Janet Jackson’s video that they did together.

    Say what you will of the aesthetic being virtually insane, but personally, I think it’s supa dupa fly.

        I know, it was the worst possible image I could have grabbed to make my point, but it also showed off the set I was talking about.

        Here’s here’s some better ones:

        Also, the song is called Scream and has a chorus that repeats, “stop pressuring me!”

        I’m just not sure why the spaceship makes them so angry. It looks quite nice.

    Not sure how to feel about jokes where they ask why it’s so rather than just saying it’s so.
