My Music Guilty Pleasures: #24

Jamiroquai - Canned Heat

It was between this and a couple of other Jamiroquai tunes, but in the end I just had to plump for Canned Heat. Such an infectiously groovy disco-pop track. Personally I think it's a shame that the band (though let's be honest here, it's ALL about Jay Kay) has faded into insignificance in recent years, as I can assure you that if you were to stick on 2011's Rock Dust Light Star, you'd find some damn good tunes. That album's as solid as they come. It's rather odd to think that Canned Heat is roughly 14 years old now... Yes, it hails from the late '90s - which is a fair weight of the reason why it's such a guilty pleasure. Many would perceive it to still feel like a song from the nineties. Not that it would be a problem musically as such, no no, but it must be noted that said era in particular does lend itself rather well to slightly corny music. I don't dance and I likely never will, but this song would be the most likely out of any to get me moving. Perhaps I'll do it when there's nothing left for me to do...
