Napoleon Dynamite Digs Jamiroquai!!!
 Hello,
I have heard quite a buzz about this new indie movie that was nominated for the Jury Prize in the 2004 Sundance Film Festival called "Napoleon Dynamite". You might be asking yourself, "What the heck does this have to with the "Music of Jamiroquai"? Well,  according to my fellow American Fan Phil Chin's post on the Funkin Site Guestbook , there's supposed to be a sequence at the end of the movie where Napoleon himself does a dance sequence set to the background music of Jamiroquai's "Canned Heat", I plan to go to a free showing of this movie early next week to verify it, but for now, here's a synopsis on what the movie is about , thanks IMDB.com for it :
Preston, Idaho's most curious resident, Napoleon Dynamite (Heder), lives with his grandma and his 31-year-old brother (who cruises chat rooms for ladies) and works to help his best friend, Pedro (Efren Ramirez), snatch the Student Body President title from mean teen Summer Wheatley (Haylie Duff).
Sounds like a pretty cool movie eh? I'll let you all know how good it is after I see it ! I did however find a verification of what Phil Chin was talking out, here's a Cut N Paste of the scene in question from the TBlog website review of the movie :
And if you should see NAPOLEON DYNAMITE, make sure you're fully alert for its climactic moment. As a part of his election for school president, Pedro is surprised to learn that all of the candidates were expected to prepare a musical skit for the school assembly. Having nothing prepared, Pedro succumbs to depressed defeat. It's up to our hero Napoleon to save the day, and he does so in a bogglingly spectacular fashion, to the music of Jamiroquai's infectious dance song "Canned Heat." It must be seen to be believed, and I don't say that very often. You may feel a sense of incompleteness when the credits roll, but NAPOLEON DYNAMITE's characters are almost a wonder to behold
Peace!
Sincerely,
