"Corner of the Earth" is the fourth and final single from British funk and acid jazz band Jamiroquai's fifth studio album, A Funk Odyssey (2001). The song was written by Jason Kay and Rob Harris and is a bossa nova-type track, reflecting on the problems that people of the Earth have to suffer. The song peaked at number 31 on the UK Singles Chart and was the last Jamiroquai single to use the DVD format. Its DVD single is referred to as one of the rarest DVD singles in history despite having had over 100,000 copies produced. The video consists of Jay Kay sitting and dancing in a forest, wearing his trademark feather head-dress. He does several other things, such as creating balls of light and making the moon come out.[2][3][4][5][6][7]
