Can anybody help me find the song, "Kenny G is not jazz"?

I'm looking for a song I thought was called, "Kenny G is not Jazz". It was a cool jazz groove with beat type lyrics explaining how unhip and uncool Kenny G is. The only words I can remember are, "Kenny G is not jazz. Jazz is not Kenny G". This was repeated throughout the song.

Although I can find numerous references to how Kenny G is not jazz with a Google search, I cannot find anything about the song.

Anybody know anything about this song?

Is it "Emperor’s New Band" by This Train? Very brief sample here.

I think premonimal means "Jazz" on that same album.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Mos Def's "Rock n Roll"? The lyric says "Kenny G ain't got no soul ..."

I wonder if it was perhaps inspired by this?
