Yo, little ma witch in a hole in my vibe, me pause in a magical world miralizing mo’, come on!
They hope the dog made mo’ magic blood, London man go inside you, ah!
Jungle by jungle, jumping on to beat em’ up, come to ring and sing in ma sign mo’
Pop pop, judging the fucking greed mo, that’s what the oath is speaking of, ah!
Ellen pools who’ll floating catchin’ more, URG, no, I’ll speakin’ and catchin’ more
In green days girls want me scatchin’ more, red pool’s girls yo scatchin’ more, ah!
Which boy is off the crew? Which of ‘em’s common and respects you?
Hold ‘em boy, mus’ i-ah-oh lemme’ decapite a boy turntable a knife
Which boy is off the “click-click”, if a boy could decide my gal-gal fixed kick-kick
Hold ‘em boy-boy, fixed kick-kick, URG URG URG URG…

Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four animated band Stuart “2D” Pot (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Murdoc was based on Keith Richards from a photo by David Bailey and 2D was based on a friend of Damon and Jamie’s.

The project began as an experiment and commentary on popular media. It was inspired by Hewlett and Albarn binge watching MTV when the two were housemates in London. Hewlett

If you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
