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.

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 got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless , but not for long

Dirty 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.

Super Short Pop Songs:

"Punk" Length: 1:36

The shortest song on their first album. Even still, it's a milestone for this album because it crams a lot of Brit-punk sound in that short length.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):

"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.
