I have taken a recent liking to the Gorillaz since their hit, Feel Good Inc. I have been a fan ever since. Here's my review:
Artist: Gorillaz
Song: Feel Good Inc.
Album: Demon Days
Basic Lyrics:
Satan's breakin' down on a camel's back,
they just have to go 'cuz they dont know whack.
So all of you in the streets though it's appealing to see,
you wont get out the caddy 'cuz you're dead and free.
You've got a new horizon it's ephemeral style,
melancholy town where we never smile.
And all I wanna hear is the message beep,
my dreams, they gotta kissin' 'cuz I don’t get sleep, no.
(beep)
Windmill, windmill for the land,
turn forever hand in hand.
Take it all in on your stride,
it is sticking, falling down.
Love forever love is free,
let's turn forever you and me.
Windmill, windmill for the land,
is everybody in?
(Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!)
Laughing gas these hazmats, fast cats,
lightin' em up like ass cracks,
ladies homies outta track,
it's my chocolate attack.
****, I'm stepping in hotter this year,
care bear bumpin' in the heart of this here,
watch me as I gravitate,
hahahahahaaaaa!
Yo, we gonna go ghost town,
this motown,
with yo sound.
You're in the blink
goin' to bite the dust
can't fight with us
with your sound
you'll kill the Inc.
So don't stop,
get it, get it,
until you cheader header,
now watch the way I navigate,
hahahahahaaaaa!
(momentary pause in singing)
Windmill, windmill for the land,
turn forever hand in hand.
Take it all in on your stride,
it is sticking, falling down.
Love forever love is free,
let's turn forever you and me.
Windmill, windmill for the land,
is everybody in?
Dont stop, get it, get it,
we are your captains in it (feel good),
steady, watch me navigate,
hahahaaaaa! (feel good)
Dont stop, get it, get it,
we are your captains in it (feel good),
steady, watch me navigate,
hahahahahaaaaa!
Sh-shake it, shake it, feel good (repeated)
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! (etc)
Description: I first discovered this song while aimlessly slumping around a TV store. The music video was playing on a few of 'em and I was hooked. After watching a few of their other videos, it let me to ponder whether the band actually existed. They didn't even turn up at that music festival a short while ago. Just a bunch of puppets. Hilarious. :P
Anyway, I really love the sort of moody feel of the song, the guitarist lazily strumming the notes, with an occasional synthesized 'ding' sound. Is that really synthesized? Hmmm...
Rating: On a scale from 1 to Awesome, I rate this song...Super-Great!
