[Intro]
Last chance to buy before you fly
Last chance to buy before you fly

[Interlude]
Okay
In the morning it came to me
Build a tunnel from Zurich to New York
I find it hard to share this with anyone
Because even to me it sounded ridiculous
But one morning
After a long complicated night
I made my mind up, to share my vision with the world
Everything that follows
I'm not responsible for

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.
