[Intro: Snoop Dogg]
Gorillaz and the Boss Dogg
Planet of the apes

[Verse: Snoop Dogg & 2D]
(Just like that) The revolution will be televised
(Just like that) An' the pollution from the ocean, now with devotion
(Just like that) Push peace and keep it in motion
(Just like that, just like that)
(Just like that) Kids, gather 'round, yeah, I need your focus
(Just like that) I know it seems like the world is so hopeless
(Just like that) It's like Wonderland
(Just like that, just like that)
(Just like that) Now fascinate me, picture and animate me, 'cause I'm rollin'
(Just like that) Deep holin', click clackin', crack-a-lackin', full packin' (Hey!), mo' stackin'
(Just like that) Actin' a fool when I teach
(Just like that) Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach, yeah
(Just like that) Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach
(Just like that) Mirror mirror on the wall, Boss Dogg, give it to 'em
(Just like that) Get involved, turn it up, speed it up
Slow it up, underground where (Just like that) the under us undercut
Shipped up, shipped out, swimmin' with the sharks put my gills up
(Just like that) Turn the wheels up real tough
(Just like that) Drinkin' lemonade in the shade
Getting blazed with a gang of pilgrims
(Just like that) Yeah, this my path
Belly floppin' lockin' while I'm rockin' in the bubble bath
(Just like that) And I'm just like math
Fozo's added up that get you more cash
(Just like that) So quick, so fast
All the kids say they love it when I make 'em laugh

[Outro: Snoop Dogg & 2D]
(Just like that, yeah) Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach, yeah
(Just like that) Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach
(Just like that) Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach, yeah
(Just like that) Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach
Welcome to the world of the Plastic Beach

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.
