"Seven Days In Sunny June" is the second single from British funk/acid jazz band Jamiroquai's sixth studio album, Dynamite. Written by lead singer Jay Kay and new keyboardist Matt Johnson, the track is considered to be a throwback to the old acid jazz sound upon which Jamiroquai made its name. The song is, in effect, a tale of unrequited love. The song peaked at #14 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was also used in the soundtrack for the film The Devil Wears Prada. The video features the band having a party in a garden, where they do random things, such as riding mopeds, having ketchup lowered from a helicopter, and throwing confetti at each other.
Censorship
In the radio edit, the word "bomb" in "drop the bomb on me" is cut out.

Trivia
In the song's videoclip, Jay Kay changes his clothing 7 times, representing the 7 days of the week in June. One of the garments he uses is a Peru-national-football-team-inspired jacket. The original jersey was used by the Peruvian team during the 70s and was awarded by ESPN as the "Best World Cup jersey of all time".[1]
