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

"Cosmic Girl"
Misheard Lyrics:
Right across from where I'm spinning
or
Right across from where I'm spending
(Later)
Do I have to go for chicken
'Cause it's you that should be a chicken
So she's a lesbian, me with her cosmic eyes
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart, you see, would rather be
Original Lyrics:
Right across from where I'm standing
(Later)
Do I have to go star-trekking
'Cause it's you I should be checking
So she laser beamed me with her cosmic eyes
She's just a cosmic girl
From another galaxy
My heart's at zero gravity
"Planet Home"
Misheard Lyrics:
Planet home, yes new and greet
New lava you will see

Planet home, is blue and green
Beautiful for you to see
