Was born in 1996, please can someone tell me who's this? I'd like to listen to them. Thank you.
You NEED to watch the video: https://youtu.be/4JkIs37a2JE
I really love this cover of virtual insanity.
I know it's almost unrelated to the discussion because you're talking about the music video, but how often is Jamiroquai brought up?

I remember my mind being blown away by a TV segment that explained how the practical effect was achieved.

While you're checking out the video for virtual insanity, also check out the one for Canned Heat, another great tune and another great video from Jamiroquai. I was only a kid then, but I'd turn on MTV in the morning before school to watch videos back in like 97-99, and these videos popped up every so often, and they had a lasting impact.
Check out also the Wikipedia article on Sterno, sometimes referred to as Canned Heat, because people would drink the shit to get fucked up and would ultimately die, and the coroner would rule it a death by canned heat.

Always wanted a Jamiroqoi hat
You'll have to be way more specific than that.
I don't know that I've ever actually registered any of the lyrics within this song, save for "vurchahwuhh insayynatyy!"
Same, I'm not a native speaker though ...
Went down a rabbit hole bc of this (thank you) and found out JK is a twinkess twin and so is Elvis
Not sure what that means but I saw him live a few years back and I was shocked how extremely British he is, both in accent and great sense of humour. Also the whole band is now a bunch of old dudes. I guess that shouldn't be surprising but it was very different from the picture I had in my head since my childhood.
Except the music. The music was just as good as ever. It was awesome.
Did he actually have canned meat in his heels when you saw him?
