Canned Heat - The Mighty Untouchables (Jamiroquai cover)

**Now available on iTunes**
This is a nod to the ’90s, our take on "Canned Heat" from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's fourth studio album, Synkronized. Featuring Donovan Hurst on vocals. Fun fact: The song is used in the film Napoleon Dynamite, as the music of the title character's famous dance performance before a high school assembly.

If this song gets up to a million views, 500,000 were me!!!

[@bobbycressey]

Love it thank you

[@nanahinsley6944]

Their arrangements are outstanding 💜

[@AnnArborInConcert]

Here is how insanely talented this group is....... the hidden white rabbit in their videos is the grand piano with the lava lamps on it - watch their videos (this one and others) and track where the grand piano makes appearances. (in one shot a trumpet is sitting in front of the piano and the next shot a violinist is sitting in the same spot) :D Kudos to the ENGINEERS. Well done taking such amazing artists and taking multiple takes and molding it into a seamless video of fun!! LOVE THIS GROUP. Great job!!! Thank you for all your amazing work!

[@TheMightyUntouchablesSD]

(CHICAGO) - Absolutely love ALL of you and collectively!!!! Outstanding!

[@bobbycressey]

Thank you GREG!!

[@greggruenwald1330]

@@bobbycressey Bobby...watched the video where you were talking about the horns - all the parts. Love that! Learned a lot. Thank you.

[@bobbycressey]

@@greggruenwald1330 Right on Greg thanks a ton! Should I more like that? It was my first one.

[@greggruenwald1330]

@@bobbycressey Yes. You are a multi-instrument musician. As a keyboard player who writes jingles (about to get an MODX8!), it is helpful. Also when you're tracking the horns with the keyboards where you position if you're playing with the same essential notes. (Check out the things Jim Peterik (Ides of March/Survivor) and Robert Lamm (from Chicago/the Band) for the City of Chicago and Covid - 19. There's a distinctive Chicago and/or Ides sound. You personally and the MU's have your similar sound. Explaining your sound technically would be helpful. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHLcZqGaaKyriJI kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4LKhmiIablkpas kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJWmgnhjiM1sfbs (Same question I posed to Robert Lamm in 1974 when he walked into the music store I was teaching piano at - in Cincinnati. Got a quick 15 min. lesson myself before my next student!)

[@bobbycressey]

@@greggruenwald1330 All killer stuff thanks. Robert Lamm! For my album I did a ton of arranging studying, especially for the Tower Of Power style tune. I looked at tons of their scores. okay I'm digging it I will make more vids. Thanks Greg. Also enjoy that MODX! I love my Montage.
