Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about White Knuckle Ride. By Songfacts®.

This is a limited edition single from British jazz funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's seventh album titled Rock Dust Light Star. The song was written by frontman Jay Kay, and it's the first single released by them on the Mercury Records label. It was a limited edition vinyl and download in the United Kingdom.

The song is described on Jamiroquai's website as "a hi-octane retrospective on Jay's career experiences - a cautionary tale equally applicable to anyone's life in these pressure cooker times."

The phrase "white-knuckle ride," originated from exciting but scary amusement park rides on which the travelers would grasp the rail before them so tightly that their knuckles would turn white. The expression is used figuratively to describe any nerve-racking experience.
