''The Kids'' is a Jamiroquai song from the 1994 album The Return Of The Space Cowboy . It is commonly known in fan groups that The Kids was written and performed during the 1993/1994 Emergency On Planet Earth era/tour. It may either have been an outtake or simply a song written after the album was fully produced and released. The live versions played during the EOPE tour had a different chorus when compared to the TROTSC version.

After The Kids was recorded with previous drummer, Nick Van Gelder, Derrick McKenzie replaced Nick and all tracks from the TROTSC sessions were re-recorded with McKenzie on drums, aside from "Kids", on which van Gelder's drumming remains. The song was probably left to be as it was because of time constraints related to the mastering process, production and release.


THEMES


''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.
