"Rock the House" is a song from Gorillaz' self-titled debut album. It was released as the third single from the album in October 2001. It peaked at number 18 on the UK Singles Chart. The song features a horn section loop sampled from "Modesty Blaise," a piece by British jazz musician John Dankworth. Rapper Del the Funky Homosapien is the only artist to provide vocals for the song.
The music video for "Rock the House" was directed by Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland.[3] The inspiration for the video is said to have come from Hewlett's angst at the time, as the band was going through the process of being sued by another band named Monkey Tennis, nicknamed the Doppelgangerz in the book Rise of the Ogre, who claimed that Gorillaz was a stolen idea.
"At the time, we were being sued by someone who claimed he'd 'invented' Gorillaz and was demanding rights over my music, brain, image, and face, which obviously made my blood boil. It felt like we were under attack from a hail of bullets. So we took that feeling and made it visual into a video!"
It starts with a shot of the gate of Kong Studios. The camera then follows Noodle on a tricycle through the hallways of the building. It leads past a door to a room where Gorillaz are performing. A white mist appears among them, and Russel passes out. Then, the floor has turned into the ghost of Del, who rises up and throws the band to the ground. Del is outfitted with protective gear, including a helmet. In Rise of the Ogre, it explains he is dressed as Mr. Freedom. He takes a few steps, when from behind a series of spring-loaded guns shoot billiard balls at him, but he diverts them with his glove. A series of inflatable female gorillas appear and start to do cheerleading. 2-D is dodging the balls being shot at him by doing dance moves, but then he is hit by a few balls and knocked out. Murdoc then begins to divert the balls with a padded jockstrap he is wearing, hitting them away with his pelvic thrusts. He is successful a dozen times until a ball ricochets off the padded wall and hits his unprotected buttocks. The ball ricochets and hits Russel in the head, waking him up and making Del disappear. Russel looks around, noticing 2-D lying on the floor, Murdoc standing bowlegged, and Noodle smiling and holding her guitar. The final shot is simply the introduction but reversed.

imagine being a kid. a 9 year old being a mild fan of them back in 2001 and then this comes on TV...... instant hardcore fan.
Right!! I can't imagine being that young and becoming a Gorillaz fan! I don't know if these videos would have freaked me out or drawn me in .. at that age I wasn't even allowed to listen to this kind of music.
Amazing animation, one of the guys who co-create this band is a well known comic book artist, his eponymous comic series is "Tank Girl", a story set in post-apocalypse world.
2:55 just a reminder, that he wore that to 2d’s aunt’s funeral
Murdoc wore that outfit on 2D's aunt's funeral or wedding? (I honestly forgot on which interview did they mentioned it but yeah Murdoc got a little wild there lol)
Murdoc is ALWAYS a little weird ..I'm pretty sure that is his default .. that's why he is Editor Hubby's favorite .. he literally wanted to name a child after him.
I think murdoc forgot in the interview too
first time?, you get along...
Yeah I'm hoping to understand the lore more as we continue with the phases.
@@angeltalion It won't be the last time you see Murdoc like this 💀
This is, probably, by far the weirdest and most confusing video they’ve put out 😂
And Murdoc needs to chill too 😭
Murdoc needs CHILL .. the kind of chill I do not think exists in our universe!
Poor 2D he's always getting hurt.
I know. Poor lil guy.
you were not prepared for murdoc thrusting aggressively.
LOL I was not. No, no I was not. I'm not sure there IS a human ready for Murdock aggressively thrusting and if there is... I'm not sure they should be out in public unsupervised because they too might end up in a helmet and underwear thrusting. ROTFMALO
@@angeltalion btw this is the censored version, and I'm not just talking about them censoring the word "ass crack", they actually removed an entire vers, the original is thirty seconds longer without the intro.
@@windhelmguard5295 Oh, for the love of GAGA! They made an uncensored... of course, they did... because why not make fully naked thrusting Murdock for the world to see? Never gonna get it.
@@angeltalion the uncensored version has no video.
@@windhelmguard5295@windhelmguard5295 I'm gonna thank Gaga for small mercies here... cause NO ONE needs uncensored naked Murdock in their lives. I'm willing to take that stand.
Welcome to the gorillaz fandom
Been a fan forever! Editor Hubby and I have couples tee's from a concert he took me to in Philly! It was awesome. I didn't grow up when Music Video's were on MTv or VH1 (am I aging myself again?) or they rarely did, so I didn't see many. MV and putting the visuals to songs is rocking my world!
I want that Harley Bat! 😭
Editor Hubby got it for me as a birthday gift last year! He's so awesome. ❤️ We'll have to see if he remembers where he got it.
@@angeltalion It was on Amazon: Rubie's womens Dc Comics Birds of Prey Harley Quinn Bat Costume Accessory (I tried posting a link but RUclips keeps deleting it)
murdoc flashbacks
I feel ya! I have a feeling I will either be a 100% Murdock fan or entirely traumatized by him. Hope you stick along for the ride to find out which. 😂
