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

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

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

Learning that this music video is a giant metaphor for one of their earliest tours where they played all across America, but Canada denied them, and when they tried to sneak into Canada to perform anyway, Border Patrol was waiting for, caught, and rejected them at the country edge, is one of the craziest pieces of Gorillaz lore. If you pay attention, the locales they drive through/past are pretty easily placable.

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*

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

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

When this album came out when I was in high school, I nearly melted that CD from listening to it so much. Ah, memories...

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

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!

Very proud of the fact one of my uncles worked on the video for this song! What a tune 😎

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

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

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

靴磨く時に聞きたくなる

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

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

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! 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 [Verse 2: 2-D] There's a monkey in the jungle Watching a vapor trail Caught up in the conflict Between its brain and its tail And if time's elimination Then we got nothing to lose Please repeat the message It's the music that we choose [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 [Interlude] Okay, bring it down here We goin' back out [Chorus: Noodle] 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 [Outro: 2-D] They do the bump They do the bump They do the bump They do the bump

Man, the walk cycles at the start are actually great. allow me to rant about this small insignificant detail -Murdoc: kinda grumpy when he walks, doesnt swing arms -2D: doesnt think twice about mudz being the driver, very lanky -Russel: Looks like he had to be convinced to climb onto a vehicle (cant blame him, murdocs driving) -Noodle: BOING BOING

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

Murdoc: Drives like a psycho Everyone: Totally chilled

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

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

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

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

2D: Singing Murdoc: making noises Noodle: ⚫〰️⚫ Russel: -_-

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

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

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

I used to play this on repeat as a kid and now im a grown ass adult paying taxes and getting ready to buy my first home. Where has the time gone?

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

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*

2-D internally screaming the entire ride.

Cool people in october?

i love the 2000's feel of the animation

Oh fuck, this song is like 20 years old. Still haven’t gotten the cool shoe shine.

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

So nobody's talking about how the geep has an explosive device designed specifically for moose?

[Verse 1: 2-D] 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! 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 [Verse 2: 2D] There's a monkey in the jungle Watching a vapor trail Caught up in the conflict Between its brain and its tail And if time's elimination Then we got nothing to lose Please repeat the message It's the music that we choose [Pre-Chorus: 2D] 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 [Interlude] Okay, bring it down here We goin' back out [Chorus: Noodle] 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 [Outro: 2D] They do the bump They do the bump They do the bump They do the bump

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

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

0:19 low poly Gorillaz

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

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

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

No matter how old the song is, it’s never too late to discover them now

I remember first seeing this on TV back when I was a kid. It was one of those weird late night channels that were going through music videos. I remember thinking it was really unique...and then about half way through all Hell started to break loose. My kid mind was kind of blown. I think it was Cartoon Network actually.

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.

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

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

The cool shoeshine, hand it over

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

love the song love the album love the musical genre love the base love the beat love the animation style love the art style love the characters love 2D love noodles love murdoc love russel love gorillaz

remember, noodle was 10 during the recording of this She's 30 now.......

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

2:09 "please repeat the message, it's the music that we choose" we're all here for this reason

I remember my friend made me a VHS with the music videos to this whole album. I use to watch that on repeat everyday.

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

The first Gorrilaz song ever listened to as a child :D still one of my all time favs xD

Noodle was 10-11 here... Now she’s what... 28 turning 29 this year...!!

Gorillaz always hits different. They are the band I listen to for hours at a time when I can.

Back when Murdoc wasn't quite a perverted zombie pickle

I remember playing the Gorillaz game where you literally just drove around on a highway listening to this song. I must have spent the entire evening playing it just to chill with the music, no destination, no problem

Took my daughter to her first big concert in Salt Lake City. Will never forget her face when this song played. Thank you so much it holds so much meaning for us!

Get the cool shoeshine🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯

It's already the middle of 2020 and Noodle still doesn't have her cool shoeshine.

Gorillaz sin duda fue uno de los mejores regalos que tuvo la década de los 2000's

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

Who remembers playing this game on PC? Had the specific details in it down to the car turning sounds, to the giant loop you could drive into. Oh and this song was playing the entire time you were playing too! So fun!

when you really think about it this song is mostly about shoes.

It's weird to see mudorc with a "normal" skin

You know what? First time i listen Gorillaz was 2005 when i was 7 y/o and to this time gorillaz is the best thing that has happened to me in my life. unique music. Greetins from Poland to all open headz. Peace bros all

This song is one of my first memories at all, and I'm 28 now and this tune keeps randomly coming to my mind ever once in a while

1:26 funny that they just subtitled the part sung by Noodle. so the Japanese must listen to the musk thinking all the time "why do I have to get the coolest shiny shoe?"

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

Moral of the story: *always get the cool shoeshine*

Get the cool shoeshine🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣

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

As a kid i used to think the song was called 'Shoe Shine' lol

This song is my favorite i listened to it like over a billion time

Can we talk about how this song is 19 and a half years old, and still an absolute banger?

I literally searched up “that gorillaz song that sounds like a ringtone” and this showed up

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

[Intro] The world is spinning too fast I'm buying lead Nike shoes To keep myself tethered To the days I try to lose [Verse 1] 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] Keep a mild groove on Ba-baby (Day dee, day, day dee) Ba-baby (Day dee, day, day dee) Alright [Chorus] (Here you go!)

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

This was my sons favourite song when he was a young teen. We lost him in a car accident 2 weeks ago so now this song means more to me now than ever before.

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

Murdoc: Driving like the madman he is 2D: chilling Noodle: vibing Russel: Why are we here, just to suffer

People notice that 2D is 3D at 2:59 but Russell and murdoc are 3D like 25% of the video

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

other music: talking about breakups, s3x, or even deppression 19-2000: S H O E S

Maybe the song was titled "19-2000" as if it's like the new millennium and you're writing down the date and you get to the year part and put "19" and then you go, "whoops" and put "2000" It makes sense considering this song is about life moving too fast to keep up and it was made around 2000

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

4 years later and I'm still waiting for my Shoeshine.😭

2-D is getting flashbacks with this one 🗣️🔥🔥🔥

Gato lag

People are saying how good Murdoc is of a driver. No one remembers how Murdoc's driving is the reason 2-D's eyes are completely black. Just a thought.

Gorillaz are the best

This is my favourite song of all time
