[Intro: 2D & Noodles]
Do you like driving in L.A., Noodle?
Driving down Route 101 during rush hour is harder than some of the deadliest battles I've been in
Then you've been in loads of those
Deadly battles, not traffic jams

[Outro: 2D, Murdoc & Russel]
Did you ever trace your family tree?
Yeah, I did; I did a thorough one
Where did it go back to?
Oh, back to the Tudors
I was, um, related to a Tudor bishop, bishop Murdoc
So Tudor times, if you could imagine; take yourself back (Yeah)
(Yeah, I'm picturing it)
Down the alleyway, the alleyways of old London town
People emptying buckets out of windows
That- that sound like L.A.

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.
