Band Name Origins:
- after 2-ds (frontman, lil hottie that he is) lil...accident...he started walking somewhat like a monkey, russel (drummer) resembled a gorilla mainly in his bulk and muscle, and murdoc (bass and self proclaimed band leader) couldnt spell...plus it looks better according to the well educated russel there fore the band named their selves Gorillaz and theyre alterego band was Space monkeyz...but das another story Submitted by: Audra Oppenheimer
- Two Reasons: 1.Lead Singer 2D (Damon Albarn from BLUR) was attacked by a chimp when he was young. 2.Animator and co-creater Jamie Hewlett was the creator of the cult comic book TANK GIRL and in the last issue he has the lead character (Rebecca) get killed by a mechanic Gorilla. And the spelling just looks cooler than the real spelling. Submitted by: Aaron Shanley:Gorillaz Freak

"Clint Eastwood"
Better Lyrics:
I'm hyper,
I'm feelin' high,
I just ate,
A piece of pie,
I'm crazy,
But not for long,
This sugar high,
Is wearin' off.
I'm feelin' high,
I just ate,
A piece of pie,
I'm crazy,
But not for long,
This sugar high,
Is wearin' off.
Original Lyrics:
I ain't happy,
I'm feelin' glad,
I got sunshine,
In a bag,
I'm useless,
But not for long,
The future,
Is comin' on.
I'm feelin' glad,
I got sunshine,
In a bag,
I'm useless,
But not for long,
The future,
Is comin' on.

I’m gonna shoot up everyone

Submitted by: Colin
| "19/2000"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Get the cool, get the cool shoeshine
Why They're Nonsensical: What? Why would that be cool? What does that have to do with anything? In no other part of the song do they ever make any other references to shoeshine. That is so random, it's like they pulled words out of a hat and put them together. Product placement maybe? You got me.

Dirty Song Lyrics:
"Feel Good, Inc."
The Dirty Lyrics: Fast Cats,
Linin' em' up like ass cracks Why They're Dirty: Obviously referring to lining up for sex at a club or similar. If you listen to the whole song's true meaning, it is about having mindless sex and that it is better to have sex with someone you truly love, kind of an abstinence thing going on there.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"Being animated (literally)"
They never show their real faces or appear live, so the British techno-rock is virtually an animated band. The members are named 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel.
Submitted by: Rocky
"Animation"
The singer, bassist, guitarist, and drummer of the band are each represented by a cartoon character (2D, Murdoc, Noodle, and Russel respectively). Their music videos are all in animation (and really awesome, by the way), and I'm pretty sure that you don't ever actually see the main band members at concerts, just silhouettes.
