Wikipedia article




"'The Kids'" is the first single taken from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's second studio album, 'The Return of the Space Cowboy', though it was recorded shortly after the 'Emergency on Planet Earth' sessions. The single was only released in Japan, on 30 June 1994. "The Kids" is a song that deals with the rights of children and their social status in the world. The song is written to be absurdly loud and high in tempo, to possibly represent the immaturity of children, and more generally the whole early childhood of a person, which is usually a carefree time of life.

It was also used as one of the ending themes for Fuji TV's children's program Ugo Ugo Ruuga.

Background



After "The Kids" was recorded with drummer Nick Van Gelder, all 'Space Cowboy' tracks except "The Kids" were re-recorded with Derrick McKenzie on drums.
