Contents 1 Release 2 Music video 3 Popular culture 4 Track listing 5 Charts 6 References Release Over the numerous releases of the `` Canned Heat '' single, two B - Sides exist. `` Wolf In Sheep 's Clothing '' is a funky instrumental that features an intro of two drum beats that lasts about 1.5 seconds and then enters a strongly bass driven repetitive melody ( which is very reminiscent of `` Stayin ' Alive '' by the Bee Gees ). Many keyboard effects are used throughout the song 's 4 : 00 minute duration. The song enters a percussion section at 3 : 07 and lasts for the remainder of the song slowly fading out from 3 : 45. The song was originally released as part of the charity album `` No Boundaries : A Benefit For The Kosovo Refugees '' in 1998, before being included on this single. It is also available on some editions of the Synkronized album, the Australian double disc release being an example. `` Deeper Underground - Chillington Mix '' is featured on the second release of `` Canned Heat ''. Chillington is not the name of an artist or DJ, but the name of the studios at Jay 's Home in Buckinghamshire. The Chillington Mix samples heavily from the Jamiroquai song Getinfunky which is found on some special releases of Synkronized, such as the Japanese release where it replaced `` Deeper Underground '' as the bonus track, and alongside Wolf In Sheep 's Clothing on the Australian double disc. On the High Times : The Singles DVD, Jay comments on a bonus feature that the original Godzilla song was just made of `` Ominous noises '' which strongly matches the sound of Getinfunky. When the title or the remix and `` Ominous noises '' evidence is pared it strongly suggests that `` Getinfunky '' is an early version of the Godzilla song which later evolved into `` Deeper Underground ''. Music video In the music video, Jay Kay is in his London apartment awake on his bed, he decides to get up and put his shoes on. Once he does he then talks to one of his walls and then phases through the wall into a living room. He then does a bit of dancing around, before leaping through another wall into a dining room as he dances on the table messing up the set up as he swings on a chandelier through another wall into a room where a party is going on, as he dances about he even has a bit of floating around. He then floats off and emerges into a bathroom as he does some dancing and he then goes into a couple 's room and does a bit of dancing and messing around before going back to the party room and doing more dancing there. He then goes to the corridor and jumps through a door into a room of a pair of sweethearts engaging in acts of desire as he keeps dancing and messing about before flying into the TV. He sings as he flies while shifting positions before making it back to the party room, as he then goes to a kitchen and messes the room up turning a table over, knocking the chairs over, before leaping back to the party room again, after that he leaps to a room with four women inside having a slumber party as he slides and dances about on the ceiling in the room before going back to the party room and then merges outside the room, leaping around a corridor and merging at some stairs before going through a door and going back down another corridor back to his apartment where he collapses back on the bed and falls asleep.
