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.

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

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elton John's animated character design makes me smile.

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

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

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.

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

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👍🏻

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

3 different genres, 3 different generations, 1 song

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

TOP 10 BIGGEST CROSSOVERS IN HISTORY

I love that Elton John simply drives into their recording studio, and then drives back out. Presumably through their entire house.

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

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.

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)

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.

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

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

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

friend of mine : " why is Elton John louder than everything " me : "obviously because he is 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'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 :)

“In a sky made of diamonds, where the world is flawless” just feels so classy. Absolutely love this song

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

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

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

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

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

Love the artwork and color choices in this animation- really good color choices as of recently, really.

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

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

Gorillaz style Elton John is the most adorable thing.

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

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!!!❤️❤️❤️

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

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

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

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

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

At this point gorillaz could ask the pope to make a song with them and he’d say yes

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

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

I like how Murdock is trying to catch the phantom while trying not to disturb the performance lol

oh yes

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

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

I thought Elton John & Gorillaz would be a strange collaboration, but after listening to this song over a dozen times, it’s a brilliant one.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Back in the mid 2000s, Gorillaz felt like it was ahead of it's time and now it feels like this is the era where they're supposed to be

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

def my fav song machine song, everything abt it is so good and satisfying to hear i love it so much

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

This song makes me wish more modern artists worked with legends of the past. This song was amazing, and 6lack's part has grown on me.

Elton John is incredible 👌

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...

Imagine collabing with gorillaz and they're like "oh yeah we also got elton john for this song lol"

The fact that the Gorillaz can just have a song *featuring* Elton John says something on its own

I was here for the live chat when this gem of a masterpiece dropped and came back to it just now. Can’t believe this was a year ago already.

Each artist contributes perfectly

1:52 I appreciate that they animated murdoc to walk to the beat of the music. Also him carrying a bug net is hilarious lol

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

I've listened to this on repeat for the whole day almost idk why I like it so much

What a collab. Could listen to this on repeat all day

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