Jamiroquai's Best Songs in Order

No. 8: “Love Foolosophy”

This single is from Jamiroquai’s iconic album, A Funk Odyssey. The track features a smooth, jazz-inflected funk groove and Jay Kay’s distinctive vocal style, all staple sounds for Jamiroquai’s music.

The song’s title is a portmanteau of ‘fool’ and ‘philosophy,’ with lyrics about how Jay Kay is a fool for love. The music video is particularly great, with Jay Kay playing a millionaire having a party in the garden of his mansion, with model Heidi Klum playing his partner.

No. 7: “Alright”

This song is energetic and upbeat, with optimistic and uplifting lyrics. From Jamiroquai’s third album, Travelling Without Moving, the infectious and catchy energy of the song has become a staple of their live shows. You definitely don’t want to miss the band playing this one onstage.

In 2017, Billboard named the song number 73 in their list of "The 100 Greatest Pop Songs of 1997.” Many fans still see it as one of the best from Travelling Without Moving, with a disco-funk vibe you can’t help but dance to.

No. 6: “Little L”

Another banger from A Funk Odyssey, “Little L” while being a funky, feel-good track with a catchy chorus and upbeat rhythm, is actually about Jay Kay’s breakup with his then-girlfriend Denise van Outen. It’s one of their most streamed songs on Spotify, making it still relevant to this day.

No. 5: “Deeper Underground”

“Deeper Underground” was originally from the 1998 Godzilla movie, before being added as a bonus track on the album Synkronized. It was also released in Japan two months before the UK, and became a top hit in many countries.

The song is known for its dark, atmospheric vibe, with deep, driving beats and introspective lyrics that were a departure from the lighter funk sound Jamiroquai was known for but proved their versatility. It is an unexpected yet perfect blend of funk and electronic rock.

No. 4: “Space Cowboy”

Even though this track is from so early in their discography, their second album The Return of the Space Cowboy, it has become one of Jamiroquai’s most-loved songs. The house remix by David Morales has become a club classic, and even topped the UK Dance Chart.

When the band perform Space Cowboy live, it is often lengthened considerably, adding more sections that haven't been heard on any released version of the song. Nearly 30 years after its release, it remains an iconic electronic track way ahead of its time.

No. 3: “Canned Heat”

From Synkronized, "Canned Heat" has a high-energy, danceable groove that made it a hit around the world. The track's funky bassline makes it perfect for dancing.

The song was also featured in the film Napoleon Dynamite, during the iconic scene where Napoleon dances to the song on stage, busting out an improvised dance routine. The scene solidified the song in pop culture forever.

No. 2: “Cosmic Girl”

The song, from Jamiroquai’s third album Travelling Without Moving, is definitely a fan favourite for many. It peaked at number 6 on the UK charts, with its smooth, disco-inspired funk and catchy rhythm later helping it become a club classic.

When the band performs “Cosmic Girl" live, it is often extended to twice the normal track length, a testament to how much crowds enjoy the song in concert. It has become a staple of their setlist, and it’ll be an amazing one to hear at their 2025 tour!

No. 1: “Virtual Insanity”

What other song could have been number one on this list? “Virtual Insanity” is arguably Jamiroquai's most iconic song, another from their breakthrough album Travelling Without Moving. It has a funky, futuristic sound and thought-provoking lyrics about the state of the world.

We also can’t mention the song without talking about its iconic music video, with Jay Kay dancing around a room with moving furniture and wearing one of his recognisable big hats. When you hear that legendary piano riff, you know you’re in for something surreal.
