If I Like It I Do It was a cancelled single from Jamiroquai's debut album, Emergency on Planet Earth. It was only released in the UK as a promo CD. Today, the single is an awfully rare collectible, even though an unknown number of those discs was pressed. Several other Jamiroquai songs, most notably Revolution 1993, Morning Glory, Everyday, Travelling Without Moving and Soul Education had the same fate, all being cancelled for unknown reason, and remaining known to the fandom only as rare promos.
[edit] Mixes
- If I Like it, I do it - 4:53;
- If I Like it, I do it (extended mix) - 6:58;
- This version of the song is actually the original version, despite the "extended" suffix. It features additional piano, bass, drum and percussion solos. It was roughly cut at some points to remove the solos. Similar methods have been employed to cut down some other songs to more 'rational' legnths, such as When You Gonna Learn, Too Young to Die and Travelling Without Moving. Listening to the original and the album versions back-to-back confirms this.
