Title: Jamiroquai

One of the best bands ever. A mix of acid jazz, soul, funk, disco, and rock to make an excellent band. Their later stuff is less acid jazz sounding, but the next album promises to return to those golden years that made them famous in the 90s.

Some of their work:

I remember that big "Virtual Insanity" single and that it was pretty epic at the time, but don't think I ever heard anything else from him (them?)  Will check these links out later on!

They did the song that was in Napoleon Dynamite, when Napoleon dances towards the end.

Heh. Mashups are fun!

I've never really cared for Jamiroquai. They've got an... interesting sound, and from a purely creative and technical aspect I admit they are superb. Though I don't really care for them.

However the guy that did that particular Mashup is pretty damn good at what he does, and those two tracks went together really well. There's another one with Jamiroquai that he did that was also excellent but I can't find it. I think it was also Deeper Underground, but I can't remember. :/
