Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity” from 1996 is a perfect song. Musically, vocally, and lyrically. And needless to say, the video was groundbreaking at the time. Lyrically, the subject matter was at least a decade ahead of its time.

  • Lyrics

Ooh, hey-hey, aw
World we’re livin’ in
Let me tell ya

And it’s a wonder men can eat at all
When things are big that should be small
Who can tell what magic spells we’ll be doin’ for us?
And I’m givin’ all my love to this world
Only to be told, I can’t see, I can’t breathe
No more will we be

And nothing’s gonna change the way we live
‘Cause we can always take, but never give
And now that things are changing for the worse, see
Whoa, it’s a crazy world we’re livin’ in
And I just can’t see that half of us immersed in sin
Is all we have to give these

Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless twisting of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound for we all live underground

And I’m thinkin’ what a mess we’re in
Hard to know where to begin
If I could slip the sickly ties that earthly man has made
And now every mother can choose the colour
Of her child, that’s not nature’s way

Well, that’s what they said yesterday
There’s nothin’ left to do but pray
I think it’s time I found a new religion
Whoa, it’s so insane to synthesize another strain
There’s something in these futures that we have to be told

Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless twisting of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, whoa

Now there is no sound, if we all live underground
And now it’s virtual insanity, forget your virtual reality
Oh, there’s nothin’ so bad as a man-made man
Oh, yeah, I know, yeah

Futures made of virtual insanity, now
Always seem to be governed by this love we have
For useless twisting of our new technology
Oh, now there is no sound, for we all live underground, oh

now, this life that we live in
(Virtual insanity) it’s all goin’ wrong
Out of the window (livin’ in), you know
(Virtual insanity) that there is nothing worse than
(Livin’ in) a man-made man
(Virtual insanity) there is nothing worse than
(Livin’ in) a foolish man (virtual insanity), hey!

Virtual insanity is what we’re livin’ in, yeah, yeah
Well, it’s alright

Speechless, actually. An amazing cover of a total CLASSIC. The voice is Taylor Momsen of The Pretty Reckless.

Makes you go to youtube to play this. I at first was wondering if this was an XTC remake. But glad to see its its own song.

Thanks to Cunk

Reminds me of—and from the same era:

The Green and Yellow TV, Record X (2002)

Cloud Eleven, Orange and Green and Yellow and Near (2002), “Van Gogh Smiles”

A non-AI version would be interesting.
