The story of Gorillaz begins in 1997. Stu-Pot was a mentally deficient keyboard enthusiast and star employee at Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium. Satanist hoodlum Murdoc Niccals decided to ramraid Uncle Norm's Organ Emporium to procure synthesizer equipment in order to establish a "chart topping" musical group. However, Murdoc ended up driving his Vauxhall Astra through the building and directly into Stu-Pot, permanently damaging ("fracturing") Stu-Pot's left eye and putting him into a catatonic state. Murdoc was sentenced to "30,000 hours of community service, plus 10 hours every week of caring for the vegetabilised Stu-Pot". Not long after, Murdoc again injured Stu-Pot in a car accident in Nottingham's Tesco parking lot when attempting a 360°, which permanently damag More...

"I'm comming up" drug [arlance for the drug effect hitting, th=d so "it's dare" is really "it's there", the drug has hit. Anyone who ever took pills back in the day knows that feeling. "Hold it down, Dare (there)" is reference to not losing control of the feeling. It's a song about coming up in a club and feeling free to be yourself. What it means | Reviewer: Anonymus ------ About the song Feel Good Inc. performed by Gorillaz I think it is talking about being free, mental prison and the dumbing down by media. The feel good inc windmill is the mental prison, those on the floor have been dumbed down. Noodle is free as you can see by him riding on his seperate island This song rocks | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Feel Good Inc. performed by Gorillaz I agree with anonymous. I really think 2D loves Noodles. But, I see what you other guys are saying how he wishes for the freedom that Noodle is free to have, yet he's stuck in that place. (being stuck with Murdoc...that's gotta suck being 2D considering he gets beat up by Muds all the time!) I can see the hope he has when he's looking out the window.Not only to be with Noodle, but to be free with her. When El Manana happens, I think he get's very depressed since Noodle 'dies'. (he doesn't know!) and his only place he put his hopes and dreams of getting out of Feel Good Inc. gets destroyed by the army or whatever. I'm not a hippie, but maybe the whole thing with the helicopters sigified the government taking and stealing everything they can get their dirty little mits on, stealng peoples dreams in that same instant. I bet 2D was happy after he realized she wasn't dead. I love the song, see a lot of meaning to it, and it just makes me love 2D even more! (I am NO fangirl. BLAH) Some Explanation | Reviewer: Tilde ------ About the song Left Hand Suzuki Method performed by Gorillaz I'm not sure what the overall meaning of the song is , if anything, but the japanese lyrics are just the japanese version of the english words Noodle is saying. I was actually trained in the left hand suzuki method of violin schooling, so I remember they used to have little notes like this in the books, first in Japanese and then in English, German, French, other languages... The song is called 'Long, Long Ago' - it's an early easy song they teach to beginners, and the second version of it is a slightly more advanced variation on it. Needless to say, when I first heard this song years after I stopped learning Suzuki violin, I was surprised and delighted. ;) its tight | Reviewer: Ninja08 ------ About the song DARE performed by Gorillaz i think that the song is the best song that the gorrilaz have made its not some regular song like a dance theme thing screw the ppl who think its about that other crap. Y would the gorrilaz do that anyway happyness | Reviewer: tom ------ About the song Feel Good Inc. performed by Gorillaz This song seems to be about the things people do in order to make themselves feel good. The song seems to focus on the darker side of pleasure like addictions and habits, but then the chorus comes in and it seems to say that you should stop thinking about what makes you feel good and try to love others to make them feel good. It's saying that love is what makes the world go around, hence the windmill reference. How sad... | Reviewer: Long ------ About the song El Mañana performed by Gorillaz The first time I watched the video, I didn't get the lyrics. But after listening to it again, my heart sunk. I can't cry, but I'm just sad at how deep the lyrics are. The chorus are what really get me. Its basically about how the singer lost his love to another man who is much richer than him and he's upset. He knows she'll come back, but is currently waiting for her, patiently. a question...?_?_?_?~about RISE OF THE OGRE | Reviewer: vicky.gorillaz ------ About the song El Mañana performed by Gorillaz ok.now, i really want he book rise of the ogre.BUT i cant buy it in my bookshops.i already tryied to find the book but i cant find it!! im from croatia and i dont know is there a translation in my language. if there isnt its ok cuz i know english really good.but i cant find rise in my city bookshops. does anyone know in which country can i buy it? tnx alot if anyone answers to my question.!! pls people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ gorillaz rules!!! People people.... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Clint Eastwood performed by Gorillaz Please please you're ruining it all, first of all... I despise the mindless clichè of categorizing it as drugs, not everything is related to drugs you know? and yes, indeed Gorillaz have published many songs with hints towards them, yet not in a healthy way like promoting people to go get their sunshine, second of all no one read what they said about Clint Eastwood? It's all a reference and you just have to look over the title to figure what the sunshine line means, next haven't you heard at least the lyrics? If ya'll can define the whole song into "drugs" just cause of 2 lines what kind of critics you thought yourselves to be? Lets take a brief view of it: 1st paragraph, talks about a higher knowledge, "who you think is really kicking tunes?" "like you lit the fuse.." (hear Del's sarcastic tone on this last one) along with the lyrics before and after including Del's style talk about the fact of naivety in media, i.e., the belief Britney Spears is an awesome singer yet in person she knows nothing about signing, who's really kicking her tune? Who's got the higher knowledge to decide what moves, what doesn't and by which or what cause? Only someone who has crossed to the other side to figure it out and no one is in title to talk absolutes till then. "Lifeless, to know the definition for what life is Priceless to you because I put you on the hype shit" Del is talking about himself as the demon inside of Russel, to know what life is and know the meaning of everything in it, priceless for those who benefit from the words of the mentor, in this case Russ and everyone listening to the song. Next: "The essence, the basics, without that you make it Allow me to make this child-like-in-nature. Rhythm, you have it or you don't that's a fallacy. I'm in them every sprouting tree, every child apiece" How many times haven't you heard "he's got no talent" "you're born with or without it" "only a few turn out special" etc? Del main argument in his music is about the misconception of talent/wisdom and the sense of superiority over those who think they've got it, i.e., many rap artists dare to call themselves poets when really few of them actually know how a poem looks like, yet they act like if they were masters in the art and even try to teach others how to do it like them or "they'll be doing it wrong", that's a fallacy talent and essence is in everyone you just need the basics to pull it out, what Dell communicates in there along with rhythm (as spiritual) is in everything you see yet the media, corporative enterprises and the society we live in blur it out telling you what to think, what to buy and making laws lawless. The song involves many things... the movie from Clint, hope, survival, evolution of society, corruption, manipulation, the story behind Russ and goes on... as any art it's made for people to interpret as they feel, what I find disgusting is after all I've said where did I mention drugs in the lyrics? It's ok if someone feels it talks about drugs, not lashing it as an absolute and ruin a song that has a "deeper meaning" on it rather than mindless vices. For anyone who said drugs destroy life sorry, I've had my experiences for many years and I've never EVER let it become a personal problem nor for the ones who surround me, also.. for anyone in here that said you need to smoke weed or "after constant smoking" to figure it out, wrong again.. I know this song since it was released and afterwards I started smoking weed and 4 years later I still don't see any connection of it with drugs or feel like smoking marijuana made me understand it better... it's just to see the lyrics as complete, not the pieces you want to see and furthermore READ and LISTEN to the artist's comments on it, they are the ones who did it you know? Everything I've said here comes from interviews with them, not things I think to be true and come lashing to convince ya'll haha. Just don't ruin it... there are songs that talk about songs whether for good or bad, this one doesn't so DON'T ruin it with some so trivial and vulgar as that when the complete lyrics talk about something greater. urm | Reviewer: Naomi ------ About the song Clint Eastwood performed by Gorillaz The lyrics to this song are ^i aint happy, im feelin glad^ not im happy, im feeling glad also heroin is sometimes called sunshine cus when you chase the dragon i.e smoke it using tinfoil by melting the gear and running it along the tinfoil it turns into a metalic looking reddish gold liquid, abit lie what youd imagine the sun to be made of. if this song is about heroin I aint happy, im feeling glad would make sense to anyone thats experienced heroin addiction. glad is def a good word to describe what it lie to get a bag when your withdrawing. And with the nature of the addiction you can never be happy. Basically you feel either shit or numb. One Idea... | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Feel Good Inc. performed by Gorillaz I think the part about the windmill could be 2-D's feelings for Noodle. In the video, he stares out the window seeing Noodle playing her guitar on the floaty island thing. And in El Manana, where Noddle's island gets shot down and Noodle looks as if she dies (it was staged but 2-D didnt know) the lyrics are *i saw that day, lost my mind* he saw the day Noodle *died* and it emotionally scar'd him. Because remember, the Feel Good Inc. tower where 2-D is has perfect view of the floaty windmill island. Which means 2-D saw everything. This is just an idea. It's probrably completely wrong. Dont take the piss. Nice Gorillaz Song | Reviewer: MV Ruvisu ------ About the song Hip Albatross performed by Gorillaz I think its a spooky song, but pretty sad. The intro from that old movie in the beginning of the song was awesome! And all of the other sounds like the moans of the zombies. Brilliant. Gorillaz always know what's the best! Hitler Youth | Reviewer: Spooky ------ About the song Kids With Guns performed by Gorillaz maybe they're talking about the Hitler Youth. that's what this reminds me of. the "kids with guns" the "they're turning us into monsters" maybe they mean that they're so young and we killed them for the hell of it. or maybe its about the kids in Iraq carrying big bombs on their chests. yeah lots of their stuff is real political check out that song fire coming out of a monkey's head by the gorillaz, it talks about the us mining down a whole volcano and killing a civilization for gold amazing | Reviewer: Stan ------ About the song Latin Simone performed by Gorillaz "Que Pasa Contigo" does infact mean "What's happening with you" but the english version of the song is meant to be that the singer is talking to himself. In the spanish version of the song, its directed to "Hermano" which means brother... regardless, amazing song. What? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Latin Simone performed by Gorillaz Love the song. Ibrahim Ferrer was one of the greatest artists ever as far as i'm concerned, but the lyrics have been translated wrong here. "Que pasa contigo" doesn't mean "What's wrong with me" it translates as like "What's happening with you". Cool | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Latin Simone performed by Gorillaz Love the song. Ibrahim Ferrer was one of the greatest artists ever as far as i'm concerned, but the lyrics have been translated wrong here. "Que pasa contigo" doesn't mean "What's wrong with me" it translates as like "What's happening with you". one for Murdoc! | Reviewer: Millie ------ About the song Murdoc is God performed by Gorillaz many people don't like this song, but i don't see whats wrong with it. it's well cool and rocky! i think every band member should have their own song. like, 12D3 was 2D's song, Murdoc Is God was obviosly Murdoc's song. but i have a thought that Clint Eastwood is Russel's song, but i can't be sure. and DARE is Noodle's song, but i can't be sure, either. oh and by the way, it's "Johnny is dead" not "trying to fit in". bye, gotta go! freaky.... | Reviewer: Millie ------ About the song Hip Albatross performed by Gorillaz this one is abit of an odd song. i don't know what their on about there...but i like it!what i don't get is 'evry dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them. it gets up and kills! the people it kills get up and kill!' but as said...bit of an track. Utterly brilliant!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song DARE performed by Gorillaz It is just a fucking fantastic record. Utterly brilliant. Damon Albarn is a songwriting genius, but what do you expect from someone born on March 23rd. When do you reckon my birthday is then? lol. Apathy sucks | Reviewer: Last Idealist ------ About the song Feel Good Inc. performed by Gorillaz I think this song is more about apathy than anything else; we worry so much about money, our egos, and lust that we forget about ideals, morals, and the power of ideas. Think about it-- when was the last time you saw somebody practice what they believed when it was inconvenient for them? We've gotten far too cynical and complacent, and while this song exaggerates a little bit I wonder how many of us would choose to be in the tower instead of the windmill... By the way, none of the other reviews mention a very important fact: this song is impossible to understand without seeing the music video. Go find it on youtube, the animation is pretty good and it's worth your time to watch. But yeah, stop being so damn apathetic, complacent, and materialistic. Go and live that dream of yours; don't deny it because society tells you that dreaming is a waste of time. We all should know better than that.
