They don't have a set genre. Damon Albarn & Jamie Hewlett are the only constant musicians, although Damon does more of the music and Jamie is the illustrator. They then collaborate with other musicians to write and/or perform songs
19-2000 is just a nod to the new millennium as it was first written in 1999. I could be wrong (probably am) but I took the lyrics and imagery to be metaphors; Buying lead Nike shoes/Keeping grounded. You must make your own shoes/Individualism. The rollercoaster road/Your journey through life. Objects in your rear view mirror/Events that have happened in your past. Repetative pumpjacks/Monotonous human work Traffic signs/Pathway choices. The third sign is "The Overlook Hotel" from The Shining", I couldn't believe it when you said you hadn't seen it, it's such a class film. Sorry I've gone on a bit 😂, can you tell I loved this and listened to it a lot in the past...ahh happy days 😁.
Not at all..... I thought it was a first listen for you... 🤣🤣🤣 I know I know it's blasphemy for a horror fan to have not seen the shining... Maybe I'll do a long ass reaction to the film 🤣🤣 Thanks for pointing out the ideals of this song..... Coz I was never gonna get there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The song was written at the end of the 20th century. According to the fictional band member Murdoc "...19/2000 fitted the bill. It was that or 'Millennium' and that's a s--t name for a song". Its about how we should slow down and enjoy ourselves in a changing world. "The world is spinning too fast, I'm buying lead Nike shoes, To keep myself tethered, To the days I've tried to lose" I think their first album was good but the second album is my favourite. You should check out "El Mañana" or "Fire coming out of the Monkey's Head". Thanks again Lee.
If you're willing to do a longer video, there's a video called Journey to Plastic Beach that has Murdoc narrating a story about finishing the Plastic Beach album. It also has 2 songs from the album. There's a version on RUclips but the quality isn't very good.
DID YOU LIKE THIS VIDEO?
Why Not Checkout THE GORILLAZ PLAYLIST?

Dam I remember this song and video. It top the charts here in NZ. That ‘Get the cool. Get the cool shoeshine’ was stuck in my head lol
Nice reaction!
The Overlook Hotel is a reference to The Shining.
The song came out in June of 2001. It was their second single.

They make whatever music they feel like.

Hadn't heard this one before. Love their videos 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
The lead singer of the gorillaz is also the lead singer of blur
Im a bit late but... overlook hotel was the hotel in the Shining
I love them! (You too!🫂) Saturday morning cartoon vibes at night🥴(with a bowl of cereal)😏🤣❤️🔥🤘💯!
that was so funny lmao
Wrong version lol listen to the soul child remix of this song. Everyone knows THAT version. It’s the good one.
I like this version better.
I also prefer the faster remixed version, it’s the one I grew up with.
It's the opposite for me, I've always loved this version and didn't even know there was a remix
Tbh
*your opinion sucks.* this is the better one
