    Best Music Video of all time.

    Virtual Insanity is a Funk and R&B song released in 1996 by the group Jamiroquai, sung specifically by Jay Kay. Although the instrumental of the song and the beat are incredible, what makes this song special is its innovative video clip. This shows us Jay being dragged through a world where technology is the basis of human existence, which would fit with the song itself and, curiously, with the reality in which we live. While it is true that there are several events that never occurred, these should be taken as metaphorical elements. However, what this video clip contains is a supposed floor that moves randomly and makes the protagonist make different movements, either with his hands or his legs. Although there is a sensation of movement in the floor, it turns out that it always remained static during filming, and what caused this effect were the surrounding walls. Simply incredible.

      In the beginning of the song you can hear a signal, that is taken from the film Alien. It is the sound sequence when the S.O.S. signal appears on the screens of the spaceship Nostromo at the start of the film.
