There are lots of songs around called "Joy" but this is the one that brings an instant smile to my face, particularly when I'm watching the video where James gets a heap of kids and one or two oldsters in the park to enjoy themselves with a bit of dancing to his infectious song. His volunteer dancers are not very good, but that's just the point. They exude joy, and the simple, relentless funk groove that the Michigan-based rapper gives them to move and sway to is utterly infectious.
