Feels Just Like It Should (Jamiroquai song)

2005 single by Jamiroquai


"Feels Just Like It Should" is the first single from British funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai's sixth studio album, Dynamite (2005). Mike Spencer and Jay Kay produced the song. The track was built on a bass line created by Kay as a human beatbox. This bassline initially formed part of an interlude intended to feature on the band's 2001 album, A Funk Odyssey. Still, it was dropped for the album's final version, only appearing on the test pressing. The song was their fourth number-one on the US Dance Chart and peaked at eight on the UK Singles Chart. It was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video at the 48th Grammy Awards.

Music video

The video shows a nerd (played by Jay Kay) entering an elevator. The elevator takes him to a strange area (the number bar reads "hell"), where the nerd turns into Jay Kay. He walks down a street and into an alley, where he meets a pimp (also played by Kay), who is the "candyman" mentioned in the lyrics. He plays several mind tricks on Kay. Kay's reactions almost precisely fit in with the lyrics; for example, with the line I'm throwing out my laser beams, he shoots lasers at a laser-shooting woman, and with I pick a little free agent, he picks up a dwarf secret agent (Jason Acuña) who shoots the woman but gets thrown away. As the video progresses, Kay rides down the street on a skateboard and sees the candyman (a pimp) driving the car, with a lady wearing a red dress as a passenger. He goes into a phone booth and presumably calls his wife or someone else. Then he transforms back into the nerd, who enters a room with the lady, and she tries having sex with him. In the video, the woman is Kay dressed up for a brief moment. The video ends with the nerd lying in an alley.[1]
