Gorillaz Ringtones

Gorillaz are the most popular and well-known virtual band in the world today. Created by Damon Albarn (former lead singer of Oasis' nemesis Blur) and animator Jamie Hewitt in 2001 they have enjoyed success throughout the early years of this decade with two studio albums and a string of top ten tunes. The album Gorillaz (2001) spawned the ringtones hits Tomorrow Comes Today, Clint Eastwood, Rock The House and 19-2000.

In 2005 they released Demon Days with the first two releases Feel Good Inc and Dare both charting well.

The cartoon band is made up of four animations. The pretty boy lead singer and keyboard player is called 2-D, Russel plays the drums, Noodle is a non-English speaking Japanese girl who plays guitar while the group is dominated by an ageing bass player called Murdoc.

Gorillaz are one of the few bands these days to have had success on both sides of the Atlantic and early next year they can be seen (on video screen) on a world tour.

Lyrics

I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is coming on (from Clint Eastwood)

My mama said to slow down
You should make your shoes
Start dancing to the music
Of Gorillaz in a happy mood (from 19-2000)

Love forever love is free.
Let's turn forever you and me.
Windmill, windmill for the land.
Is everybody in? (From Feel Good Inc)

It's DARE.
It's coming up,
It's coming up,
It's coming up,
It's coming up,
It's coming up,
It's DARE. (From Dare)

Gorillaz Quotes

"You know when you're sitting on a chair and you lean back so you're just on two legs then you lean too far and you almost fall over but at the last second you catch yourself? I feel like that all the time."

"There's always been a bit of a hip-hop element to my trousers."

"Being in a band is rubbish."

"I like things to repulse people, to upset and move them. I don't want to give people an identity, I want to give them a crisis."

All from Gorillaz co-creator Damon Albarn.
