2 things this video has taught us 1. Get the cool shoe shine 2. Murdoc is an amazing driver

Murdoc: Drives like a psycho Everyone: Totally chilled

I was always fascinated by the mix of 2D cartoon and the 3D elements of those Gorillaz clips. It's so unique looking.

When I was a kid, I've always wanted to know what's she's really saying in 1:28. Now after studying japanese I can understand and share to others. Text: かっこいい靴磨き欲しい か = ka っ = lowercase "tsu" which is used to "double the first letter of the next character" こ = usually "ko" but because of the lowercase "tsu", it's "kko" い = i かっこいい = kakkoii which means literally "cool". 靴 = kutsu. It means literally "shoe" or "shoes". 磨 = miga き = ki 磨き= migaki. Means "polish" specifically as in a polishing product. 欲 = ho し = shi い = i 欲しい = hoshii. Means "wanting" or can be abbreviated for "I want" as japanese will rarely bother to do proper noun conjugation of "Watashi hoshii" or something similar. FINALLY: かっこいい靴磨き欲しい kakkoii kutsu migaki hoshii. She's saying "I WANT (the) COOL SHOE POLISH". Hope you're as happy as I am to finally understand it in the most pedantic way possible.

I love how everyone is having the time of their lives, and Russel is just sitting there like, “I hate it here.”

This is the definition of “So I had this dream last night”

The detail of the bass at the beginning being from Murdoc's toothpick is amazing

lyrics: The world is spinning too fast I'm buying lead Nike shoes To keep myself tethered To the days I've tried to lose My mama said to slow down You must make your own shoes Stop dancing to the music Of Gorillaz in a happy mood Keeping my groove on Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine There's a monkey in the jungle Watching a vapor trail Caught up in the conflict Between his brain and his tail And if time's elimination Then we got nothing to lose Please repeat the message It's the music that we choose Keeping my groove on Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop

2-D : *wants to die* Murdoc : *going insane* Russel : *depressed* Noodle : thinking of doing *shoe shine*

Ah, back when murdoc wasn’t a green decomposing corpse

sus: 0% dark meaning: 0% Abusing: 0% cool shoeshine: 100%

First CD I ever got, when I was in the 4th grade back in 2001. I still remember, we were on vacation in Florida, my dad took me to a record store and let me get this CD, and we jammed out to it in the Chrysler Sebring Convertible rental car. Still one of my favorite albums.

2D’s singing voice: smooth, not deep but not high-pitched, it’s pleasant to listen to 2D’s talking voice: 2:35 *oKay briNG iT Down yEAH cOmE BacK oUt*

Damn, 2000 was 19 years ago, the world is spinning to fast.

Somebody here in April 2024?

65 yrs old...it is March 2024. Bring this music back. It helped me out in a hard time.

i like how murdoc just casually has missiles attached to his car as if hes been in situations like this before.

Russel’s blinking to the beat just goes to show he’s born to always provide the beat.

This song is one of the very few that has the magic property of making any meme 20x better by including it

That toothpick animation is amazing and you can't tell me otherwise

murdoc: insanely driving 2D: just singing like its a normal day noodle: having fun russel: *i hate everything*

noodle: vibin russel: *d e p r e s s e d*

The Melody of this Song still gives me kind of a "old nokia getting called" vibe

Who’s here in 2024?

it’s 2020 and i still haven’t gotten the cool shoe shine i’m desperate and i’ll do anything, please-

GET THE COOL

whos here in 2089?

I remember this being on MTV back then when i was still a kid. So catchy

The fact that all the comments are recent proves that their music never gets old

I love how noodle is just vibing while everyone is just avoiding getting killed 😭💀

The fart sound when the ufo shot the dude at the gas station 💀

I haven’t seen this song in like literally 7 years or 6 and a half and it was my absolute favorite song

1:30 Russel looks like a kid that wanted to stay home, but his parents made him come with them to the store.

The cool shoeshine, hand it over

This was the first song and music video I saw from them, it's been more than 20 years and it's still my favorite song they made. It makes me feel so nostalgic, I love this band

I love thinking about the fact that noodle is just trying to sing to fit in with the band bc she came from Japan in a crate and the Japanese is purposely badly translated It’s little stuff like that, that makes me love gorillaz

When 2-D sings. He's the coolest. When he speaks Normally, It changes my Life.

As an actual monkey, I'd like to confirm that there is infact alot of conflict between my brain and my tail. Thank you for your time!

What did we learn today children? That we should never try to shoot giant deer.

I discovered Gorillaz in the year 2015. I still listen to them. Its so fun

Dude murdoc used to have a natural looking skin tone. Now he looks like a lime

noodle’s “here you go!” IS SO CUTE AAAAA

Is that music that we choose

Giant moose: exists Murdoc: so any way I started blastin

Producers: So do you want 2-D or 3-D graphics? Gorillaz: Yes.

This should be one of those old songs on youtube that has a billion views.

This whole video is just the band driving noodle to school

The fact that 2-D still gets in the Geep after all his past experiences with Murdoc driving.

2-D internally screaming the entire ride.

I love the detail that the parts where you see it from afar are in 3D

My brain 24/7: Get the cool, get the cool shoshine

Russel looks mad that he can't play drums through this song.

They had a computer game that was literally just driving around a big deserted area with a random strip of highway to drive on. There was no point to the game except to just drive around with this song playing. I played it for hours. Oh the good old daysssss

The lyrics: The world is spinning too fast I'm buying lead Nike shoes To keep myself tethered To the days I've tried to lose My mama said to slow down You must make your own shoes Stop dancing to the music Of Gorillaz in a happy mood Keeping my groove on Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine There's a monkey in the jungle Watching a vapor trail Caught up in the conflict Between his brain and his tail And if time's elimination Then we got nothing to lose Please repeat the message It's the music that we choose Keeping my groove on Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Get the cool Get the cool shoeshine Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop Day doo de bop

This song sounds happy, bubbly, and mysterious at some parts all at the same time. Awesome

Murdoc in Phase 1: Burnt Peanut Murdoc in phase 2-5: Pickle Murdoc in phase 6: *N E O N G R E E N M A R K E R*

Back when Murdoc wasn't quite a perverted zombie pickle

0% sex 0% drugs 0% abuse 0% harm 1% giant moose 99% *cool shoeshine*

クールを手に入れよう クールを手に入れよう シャシン

2D: Our bassist turned himself into a pickle, funniest thing I ever saw

2-D Singing: Amazing Little Sunshine 2-D Talking: A Very Long Voice Crack

I am now 25 but I remember playing their car game on miniclip as a kid. I thought about this particular song that played in the background and it took me years to rediscover it. Super nostalgic!

Dang,it's been 24 years since this came out,i was a toddler

Murdoc:*doesn’t drive to church* Aliens: A N G E R Y

2D: Our bassist became a pickle, funniest thing I've ever seen.

Llevo tres días poniendo esta canción en mi salón de clases con niños de 10 años porque les gusta esta banda y ellos se relajan y están felices todo el rato

Giant moose: exists Murdoc: M I S S I L E

It’s been 7 years and my dad still hasn’t come back with the cool shoeshine.

Man, it’s crazy how the animation has changed over the years.

When a song pops into your head at 2 am that you havent heard in close to 20 years from a flash game.

Why does noodle want the shoe shine ??? 1:17

I love how some songs get a backstory then there’s *G E T T H E C O O L* *S H O E S H I N E*

Guys.... Get the cool Shoe Shine

Docter: All dreams have a meaning My dreams:

2D just looks so chill. I aspire to be as nonchalantly cool as phase one Stu.

Murdoc: super pissed Russel: bored Noodle: having a good time 2D: doesn’t care if he is in danger

murdoc: **drives** 2d: **war flashbacks**

かっこいい

When I was I kid I used to love this disturbing music video. Nowadays it's all nostalgia.

designers: should we make it 3D or 2D? Gorillaz: Yes

Russel is just sitting there like: "Why did you guys drag me to this stupid trip"

2-D:😐 Murdoc:Im the best driver Noodle:get the cool shoeshine!😊 Russel:"deppresed"

Murdoc trying to kill the moose The moose: UNO reverse

this is even more impressive when you realize that only 5 animators made this (3 for 3D and 2 for 2D)

2D singing: so nice and clean 2D talking: PepPeRmInT tEa

WHAT IS THAT MELODY

Я не знаю как я раньше жила не зная эту группу..

i love the 2000's feel of the animation

Gorillaz is cleary one of thoses good bands that make you think "Wait they also made this song ?!?! Man it's been 10 years the last time I heard it. Must download !!!!!!"

Lyrics: The world is spinning too fast I'm buying lead Nike shoes To keep myself tethered To the days I've tried to lose My mama said to slow down You must make your own shoes Stop dancing to the music Of Gorillaz in a happy mood [Pre-Chorus: 2-D] Keeping my groove on They do the bump They do the bump They do the bump Yeah, yeah They do the bump They do the bump They do the bump They do the bump [Chorus: Noodle] Here you go!

Ah yes, I remember listening to this in CD while driving to London on the motorway. I opened the window and yelled along GET THE COOL SHOESHINE. Way to feel like noodle.

Моя любовь с 14 лет слушаю еще на кассете и плакаты висели в комнате,а мне на данный момент уже 36 лет ❤❤❤

Nobody : Noodle : 卄乇尺乇　ㄚㄖㄩ　呂ㄖ

I just realized, when noodle sings the first "Get the cool shoe shine" she has eyes like 2-D's, but the second time, she has pupils. she must've gotten the cool shoe shine

2-D: Murdoc? Murdoc: Yeah? 2-D: You know it's a rental? Murdoc: Yeah...

Amoo

Murdoc: “HAHA NOTHING BAD EVER HAPPENS TO THE GORILLAZ”
