[Verse: Robert Smith]
Spinnin' around the world at night
Spin around in black and white
Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up
Strange time to see the light

[Chorus: Robert Smith]
Spinnin' around the world at night
Spin in and out of sight
Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up
Strange time to see the light
Spinnin' around the world at night
Spin around in black and white
Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up
Strange time to see the light

[Outro: Robert Smith]
Strange time to feel alive

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.
