[Murdoc]
Look
Did anyone go through a transformative experience on the moon?
I know I did
I was through a monolith
Oh, yeah! My portal!
And when I got through the portal I thought I wasn't gonna make it

[2D]
Oh, no...

[Murdoc]
And I dived... I dived through and I ended up in Hong Kong Studios
Hmmm...

[2D]
Ye
Maybe look for positivity... in things?

[Murdoc]
Oh no, never

[2D]
-and you'll be taken on a positive path

[Murdoc]
I don't do positive

[Russel]
Sa... sau... sausages in space?

[Murdoc]
Yeah
Some of them went into orbit, y'know
So the Earth looked like Saturn

[Noodle]
Sorry, what are we talking about?
I kind of tuned out

[Russel]
He was cool, but he was kind of weird

[Murdoc, Russel]
Oh, yeah (yeah)
Well, we only work with weird, don't we?
We don't work with 'normal'

[2D]
Oh, they're definitely weird afterwards

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.
