Jamiroquai - Love Foolosophy

Artist: Jamiroquai Track: Love Foolosophy Album: A Funk Odyssey Year: 2001
Hey everyone! Apparently I underestimated how busy I would be with family over the holidays and I've been unable to post in a while. This is the first time I've had some slow time for myself, so here we go again! Let's hope that I can keep up with this a little better now that the Christmas festivities are over. Now, on to the music!
Jamiroquai has been around for a while; since 1992, to be exact. Sadly, this is one of the only two songs I know from them. I really should fix that, shouldn't I? I absolutely love the funky energy of this track! The infectious groove throughout the song is hard to get out of your head and is so easy to dance to. Give it a go and just try to tell me you aren't dancing as you listen.

Ghostland Observatory - Sad, Sad City

Artist: Ghostland Observatory Track: Sad, Sad City Album: Paparazzi Lightning Year: 2006
This is one of those songs where the beat just draws you in from the very beginning. That steady, funky beat grooves through the whole song, joined by buzzy electronics and hyped vocals. It's a pretty short song, but it uses those 3 minutes well to get me energized. And that's all I got, folks. I just like the song.

Teddybears - Cobrastyle

Artist: Teddybears ft. Mad Cobra Track: Cobrastyle Album: Soft Machine Year: 2006
I had heard this song before but I can't remember where! Apparently it's been used for multiple commercials and sports ads, but I have no recollection of seeing them. I stumbled across it on 8tracks one day and immediately loved it. "Cobrastyle" is an infectiously catchy, reggae fusion track featuring Mad Cobra. It's upbeat energy and addictive chorus makes it hard to get out of your head. 
I will warn you, trying to read the lyrics is borderline impossible. These were the only lyrics I could find. So either this is what he's really saying or someone just made something up.

Robert Randolph & The Family Band - Ain't Nothin' Wrong With That

Artist: Robert Randolph & The Family Band
Track: Ain't Nothin' Wrong With That
Album: Colorblind
Year: 2006
I do believe it is physically impossible to not  move, dance, tap your feet, or play the drums on your steering wheel while listening to this song. It's just infused with so much funky energy! I immediately loved it the first time I heard the song. I really enjoy the reoccurring guitar riff, especially when it kicks off after the first few seconds of the song. The lyrics are also cheerful and upbeat.

Sam Sparro - Black & Gold

Artist: Sam Sparro
Track: Black & Gold
Album: Sam Sparro
Year: 2008
This song took a while to get to me, but it didn't give up. I downloaded it as a freebie from iTunes back in 2008, put it on my iPod, and promptly forgot about it. Then about a year later it popped up on shuffle as I was driving and couldn't stop listening to it afterwards. I love the bass line in the beginning! The beat is great, in my opinion. Very catchy.

TV On The Radio - DLZ

Artist: TV On The Radio
Track: DLZ
Album: Dear Science
Year: 2008
Some may recognize this track from the popular TV series Breaking Bad. It played in what became my favorite scene out of the entire series. The song had a lot to do with that. That being said, this song automatically makes you feel awesome whenever you listen to it. Especially when driving. From the almost primal beats to the slowly building vocals to finally trailing off with a haunting whistle. In between is a whole mess of percussion and voices that somehow manage to electrify the music. Click here for lyrics & link!
