I just want to point out that cartoon Elton John is now part of the Gorillaz universe. Which means he also exists in the Powerpuff Girls universe.

Elton John's animated character design makes me smile.

Murdock is so considerate, trying not to interrupt the show that 2D is putting on, but still helping his friend by trying to capture the ghost. I'm glad we gave him a second chance

I remember when this video came out. I grew up listening to Elton John, so I wanted to show this to my Mom. We loved Gorillaz and Elton John. But instead I was listening to this alone outside the hospital after she passed. I wish we listened to more music together. Miss you, Mom.

where most people age as they get older, 2D just gets more detailed.

2D’s voice on songs: 🎩✨ 2D’s voice on interviews: 🐔

3:12 OH MY GOSH, HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THIS the pink phantom snuffs out the candles flames as it passes, and then when Murdoc passes, the flames rekindle! I seriously think the pink phantom is a physical manifestation of Murdoc's successes, especially with the Plastic Beach.

3:04 When that “Hooooold meeee” hits, oooooh goosebumps every gosh darn time!! Beautiful as always to come back!!

73 years old and Elton John's voice is still as sweet as honey.

What genre of music are you? *Gorillaz:* Yes.

LYRICS: You've more or less forgotten me this summer I can't hide my disappointment I was on my way in the Phantom V The one you gave away Try to tell you that I love you but I'm choked up You forgot and that makes me feel like no one (summer nights) Were you even really there? Did you ever really care? Wait, I got so many examples of all of the good times we had Long summer nights (summer nights) Held you a long time, put your name in my rhymes Refresh your memory of where you wanna be The Phantom's on the way, she's comin' down the street I tried to get to Atlanta On a peach blossom highway I'm tryin' to put these puzzles out of mind In a sky made of diamonds Where the world fell silent I'll be waiting for you on the other side Summer lights (everyday, everyday) Sometimes (ride where the summer goes) Summer nights Every night Summer nights I tried to say I love you But you didn't listen (summer nights) I tried to give you everything you might need (summer nights) In a sky made of diamonds And where the world is flawless I'll be waiting for you on the other side Of summer lights, summer lights Hold it in for a long time Summer lights, seems to me I'm in a dream Behind these summer lights The Phantom is coming You forgot and that makes me feel like no one She's crossing over the line Wait, I got so many examples of all of the good times we had Seems to me I'm in a dream (long summer nights, I loved you a long time) (Put your name in my rhyme, refresh your memory) Behind these summer lights (Of where you wanna be, the Phantom's on the way) (She's comin' down the street) Sometimes

6LACK's voice grows on you, not gonna lie. At the beginning I hated him here, but now I can't expect the song to sound the same without him

I love how murdoc is in the back like “cannot disturb sir Elton”

me: vibin for 4 minutes 20 seconds then all of a sudden *iTs Me*

We’ll never get another band like Gorillaz, and we’ll certainly never find a singer like Elton John. A truly incredible collaboration.

I'm thoroughly conviced that 2-D learned to play this whole song blind just so he could show of his eyeshadow. And it looks amazing

Why does animated Elton John look more like Elton John than Elton John?

The moment Elton John starts singing, it just elevates this song to a whole new level

4:23 literally the best part out of the whole video

The fact that 2-D can play a full on song on piano with his eyes closed, just shows how amazing he is.

The fact that they did an animated version of an non-Gorillaz musician for the first time since Phase 3 (not counting Ace, who did participate only as a substitute)

TOP 10 BIGGEST CROSSOVERS IN HISTORY

Listening to Elton John and 6LACK together on the same verse is like listening to those shitpost mashup songs, only it's goddamn beautiful. The Gorillaz have always been ahead of their time.

I used to not really like this song, but it grows on you. Damn, it's really really good

I just realized that Murdoc's walking on beat not only because it's visually funny, but because he doesn't wanna interrupt them lol

elton john and 6lack on a gorillaz song together is something i never thought i'd hear or want, but i do, i really do

I just love how murdoc is in the background tryna get the monster but also is like “hmm what are they doing in my room? I must tippy toe on the beat and get that pink thingy slimy monster but no disturb on 2-D being an total crack-head” then comes at the end with “iTs Me” the classic guy lolll👍🏻

1:51 Murdoc's footsteps are in time with the drums

3 different genres, 3 different generations, 1 song

Elton John really fits the Gorillaz art style like a glove.

Everyone talks about Gorillaz, but nobody mentions the legendary Damon, who since his beginnings in Blur (of my favorite bands) made excellent songs, Damos also has a career, maybe not as remarkable as Elton, but he is also a respectable artist

2:29 2D and Elton John's pianises growing together... love is love

Seeing artists of three generations in transcendental harmony is so very satisfying

Can we just stop for a moment, and acknowledge the fact that Sir Elton John is 73 years old, and he STILL has that voice! That guy is amazing.

Gorillaz and Elton John are two artists that I didn’t expect to hear, do a duet together. I absolutely love this!!

Sir Elton John's reveal gives me chills every time.

2d and Elton John: *Singing something meaningful* Murdoc: ITS ME :DD

It’s nice to see Elton John get his own Gorillaz-Sona.

One of their best songs AND albums ever. Also 2D in eyeliner is iconic

I love how murdoc is just messing around the whole time, and the end cracked me up a ton, plus I noticed how 2D's eyes are closed the whole time!

Gorillaz style Elton John is the most adorable thing.

I feel like Elton only joined because they agreed to make him his own Gorillaz Character.

I’m glad to see famous singers/bands like gorillaz shouting out small musicians like Elton John

I can't get over the fact that this band is so old and yet they're still making the best music ever-

I love how Elton John is animated, while pretty much every other feature on song machine is the actual person. I guess Elton gets a special place with the Gorillaz crew.

I'm happy to hear Elton's voice so rich and strong.

This song came out at the perfect time to make me an emotional wreck every time I listened to it. Exactly when it came out I was going through the worst break-up of my life and feeling everything the song is about. I found it difficult to listen to for a while but I'm glad to say I'm in a better place where I can appreciate the beauty of it without falling apart.

Can we just take a minute to appreciate that Gorillaz, 6lack, and ELTON JOHN are on a song together? Instant classic.

2d: theeese summer nights.. Murdoc: holy shit is that Elton John

Lmao Elton looks like he’s both 6 years old and 67 years old at the same time in animation form

I love watching until the end just to hear "IT'S ME" and see a happy murdoc only to see him go "uNG"

The way 6LACK just randomly pops in is just very funny to me-

TOMORROW MUST COME TODAY!

Just realized that Murdoc is so confused in this song is because they’re performing in his room.

I just love the difference between 6LACK and Elton Johns voices.

When Elton John dies. The world will be noticeably colder because of the warmth he gives us

Seeing a collab with Elton John, Gorillaz and 6lack is the last think i'd ever imagine

2-D: Vibin 6LACK: Vibin Elton: Vibin Murdoc: Creeping around in the background

Hearing Sir Elton's line of I'll see you on the other side gave me chills.

I've been going through a really rough break up, and I decided to give this song a listen again because it's been awhile. It's painful yet comforting listening to this song again after everything that happened and realizing what the song relates and how I can relate to it. Thank you Gorillaz, you have helped me through many rough times before, and I'm glad there's still more to discover from you guys. It brings me genuine happiness, and you won't stop being my absolute favorite band :)

I like to think that Elton did 2-D's makeup.

the fact that Elton did this for his kids is just insane

I just love the animation for Elton John and 2d just looks so beautiful with eyeshadow and long eyelashes 💅

You know what this means? Elton John is also canon in Powerpuff Girls because of this.

Can’t believe Elton John got the Gorillaz for his solo.

Interviewer: “So what genre are you?” Gorillaz: “Yes”

Man that 3:44 is one of the prettiest harmonies I've ever heard.

I’ll never get over how green murdoc is in this.

The pink phantom starring: -E Y E L A S H E S -The guy that appears on your hallucinations when your drunk -Smolton John -Murdoc scenes out of context

This is a crossover that I never ever expected but I'm glad exists.

This is literally one of my favorite Gorillaz song from this album.

seriously did not give this song a chance last year and now I cant stop listening to it. what is this magic

Did I ever think I needed a Gorillaz styled Elton John: No Do I need it now: Yes

No budget for 2d's eyes this time

man this song hurts to hear if you lost someone you really loved.

People who say 6lack is ruining the song r goofy asf this song just hits and is so amazing

2d’s normal voice:issoslipperyiconcantkillit 2d’s voice while singing:”sounds like a angel from heaven”

Ok but why is no one talking about 2Ds eye shadow

I used to listen to this song with my ex-girlfriend and tell her that the lyrics were so sad and that I hoped I would never feel what the song says. And she promised me it would never happen. And here I am, listening to this beautiful song and missing her...

This is one of the best Gorillaz songs and also with Elton John and 6LECK! it's simple and brilliant... and I'm surprised that my friend who doesn't listen to Gorillaz has the same opinion about The Pink Phantom. Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett!!! never stop!!!❤️❤️❤️

i love how murdoc is running around like ''where am i? gotta catch that gho-HOLY SHIT ELTON JOHN?!''

Featured artists dont usually get "gorillafied" but Elton is special.

This is another one of those, where the first time is horrible. But its like drugs, you get addicted too easy. This is amazing

Happy one year anniversary to this song living rent-free in my head.

A rapper I've never heard of and a guy my mom probably listened to when she was around my age are possibly the biggest contrast of collaborators on this song I have ever witnessed and possibly will ever witness.

People: 2-D looks better with white eyes Other people: no, it looks better with black eyes Jamie: eyelashes

Wow it’s been like 15 years of listening to gorillaz and they just keep on releasing more songs that bring back that nostalgia

I can't stop hitting replay on this song. Such a great song.

Still waiting for that crossover Gorillaz with Daft Punk. Edit: Oh dear... Heard the news and we definitely not getting to see Gorillaz and Daft punk now. Shame. This is probably the worst timeline we are on.

I love how you literally can't name the genre of Gorillaz

Elton John is incredible 👌

Each artist contributes perfectly

Gorillaz - The Pink Phantom ft. 2D's eyelashes

I loved this song at the darkest time of my life. It’s February 17th, 2023 and Gorillaz was my life during said dark time. Thank you for making such a beautiful song.

I never knew I always wanted a Gorillaz song ft. ELON JOHN !!!!

2D elton and 6lack (singing) Murdoc: *iT's Me*

I love how murdoc gets shocked seeing elton and tries to help 2D and get on the flames of the candles when the ghost off them

2:32 my meat when the teacher makes me go up to present something in class

me: vibing to the chill music and elton john’s beautiful voice murdoc: ITS ME
