[Spoken Word: 2-D & slowthai]
Hello, how are you doin'?
How are you doing? I'm good, what's happenin'?
What'd you get for Christmas?
You said Father Christmas might not bring you things because you hadn't been a hundred percent good
Yeah, he just brought men a good item, you know what I mean
Really, ah, well, um, I got a Louis Farreux tee shirt, and that was sweet actually
Ah, bet, he's the boy
"Momentary Bliss," ah, mate, what a tune
You know when you're doing some cooking or something
And you got the fan on
And then you turn the fan off and it, ah, all quiet
Like, that to me, is momentary bliss
What do you think momentary bliss is?
It's about false idols and people who are not in control of their own destiny
And they lay their destiny to other people (Right)
And hold themselves to an industry that castrates the business
Sweet

Gorillaz

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.
