Line 31:
==Music video==
Directed by Mike Lipscombe*, the [[music video]] was used as a promotional tool for the 1998 film ''[[Godzilla (1998 film)|Godzilla]]''. Partly shot on location at [[State Cinema|Grays' State Theatre]], it depicts a 3D [[film theatre]] in which the movie is being shown. However, as the screen shows Godzilla walking on the ocean floor, one of its feet breaks the screen, causing water to flood into the theatre as if the screen were made of glass and everything behind it were real. The theatre turns into chaos as the audience tries to get out alive, in the midst of which Jay Kay appears and sings and dances on top of the seats. Several other things go through the screen, including a [[Bell UH-1|helicopter]], cars, and New York taxis. Some stills from the movie are also interspaced between various scenes. At the end of the video, the camera pans out, and it emerges that this entire flood was itself being watched by a different cinema audience on another screen.
During the making of the video, the extras were not informed beforehand about the sudden influx of water near the start of the video, so the terrified reactions as they try to escape are actually genuine.<ref>Jay Kay speaking on ''Jamiroquai High Times Singles 1992-2006'' DVD (Sony BMG 2006), ''Behind the music Chapter III'' at 3'50"</ref>
