GET THE COOL

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

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.

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

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

Murdoc: Drives like a psycho Everyone: Totally chilled

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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*

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

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.

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

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!

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

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

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

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

whos here in 2089?

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

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

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

Somebody in may 2024?

Somebody here in 2024?

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

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

This whole video is just the band driving noodle to school

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

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

2-D internally screaming the entire ride.

Is that music that we choose

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

Ви супер, слухаю з дитинства, цікаво та зі с милом!

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

Nobody : Noodle : 卄乇尺乇　ㄚㄖㄩ　呂ㄖ

Congratulations, you have found the Gorillaz idol. Screenshot this and send it to your Confessional

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

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

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*

"Stop dancing to the music of gorillaz in a happy mood" *makes it impossible with that instrumental break*

Anyone here in may 2024

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

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

I had their first album when it released. All of the songs are gold, but this was the one that made me realize there was something so much more to this band than what it appears. The Gorillaz have been a big part of my musical life for so long. I adore every song, album, video, art book, and documentary about them.

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

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 cool shoeshine, hand it over

The old musics of Gorillaz are my favorites they are so cool

I love the 2d and 3d mash up looks so unique and ... fascinating

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

Guys.... Get the cool Shoe Shine

This song always reminds me of my wife who's passed away got to love it.

GET THE COOL SHOESHINE 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️

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*

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

The world is spinning too fast🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

and this is still on my liked❤

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

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

no lo puedo dejar de escuchar es tienen un flow que la rompen

I love gorillaz

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 !!!!!!"

The animators: Ok so will this be 3D or 2D? Gorillaz: *YES*

I love this music

My 5yo daughter and I finding this song and music video for the first time ever and putting it on repeat.

2d- serious for once Russel- I wanna go home noodle- get the cool shoe shine murdoc- T H E B A T H

i love the 2000's feel of the animation

Who’s here in 2024?

Una canción maravillosa Sin duda una de las mejores canciones de Gorillaz❤

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

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

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

I’m so in love with this song ❤❤

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

Me gustan muchos los gorillaz Los amo

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

I love when they include Murdoc’s voice in music videos. Whether it’s his awesome laugh at the beginning of Clint Eastwood or just his “hmm… yeaaaah” in this. It just always adds something special and sounds awesome.

The beginning beat is still iconic to this day

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

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

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

pura nostalgia, lembro-me quando tinha 4 anos e comecei a escutar gorillaz e outras bandas de rock.hoje tenho 14 anos

This song never gets old (Like all gorillaz songs)
