Band Name Origins:
- I'd just like to put something straight- yes, most of the entries here are correct about the jamming of the band and the Iroquai tribe. ZephyrZ, however, is 100% incorrect, firstly because Jamaroqui is not one person. Second, because the lead singer of Jamiroqui's name is Jason Kay. Not Jamie Rockway. Submitted by: sunshine
- The name Jamiroquai is a conglomeration of the word "jam" and the name of the Native American peoples, the Iroquois but mispelled "iroquai" as Jay Kay said into an interview. Submitted by: murlancio

a parody of "Love Foolosophy" by Jamiroquai
This one was one of my better original recordings, but with the new recording style I was able to put my vocals on more clearly, and not mess up the backing track as much, its my fourth re-recording of the year--out of 13 songs released, that's a good pace I think

Misheard Lyrics: Pussycat eyes on Biggin Hill

Story about this misheard lyric by: Jason When I heard this for the first time, I was so certain the actual lyrics were 'Biggin Hill' that I had to play that section over and over again just to make sure, as Biggin Hill is the name of an airport near London and associated with World War 2! Only looking up the lyrics did I realise how wrong I was! |
