Jamie Cullum, 'Wheels' -- Video Premiere

Some pop songs are just destined to become hits; one listen to Jamie Cullum's 'Wheels' and you'll be convinced this is one of them. The accompanying video, as seen here, is pretty eye-catching as well: Cullum performs on a piano in the middle of an NCAA basketball court while being encircled by a gang of unicyclers. But don't write the song off as just another catchy tune with a cute video -- turns out, much like Cullum's career at large, it actually runs pretty deep.

Cullum says that the words came first for this one and then he built the music to match. The drums, for instance, sound like a locomotive while the piano riff has a cyclical feel. Those parts combine with the lyrical motif to give 'Wheels' a feeling of perpetual motion.

"There's a lot of poetic meaning in it," Cullum admits to Spinner. "But don't tell anyone -- it's supposed to be a pop song." And a great pop song at that. Check out the video after the jump.
