True

let's not forget "i'm feeling really blah blah, i want to blah blah blah." and "don't you get too close, or i'll blah blah blah blah.".

That's mocking modern music and calling out how shite it is. That's why he keeps saying blah blah blah and random phrases.

2-D just said the first when i read dis

drugs and sex

this isn't their best song, I don't think, but its definitely one of my favourites because of how smart it is in making it's point. From the way the lyrics are meaningless to the way the way the only part of the song that makes some sense gets more and more drowned out by the music and the "rock it" every time it's sung until eventually you can't hear it anymore. every time listen to it I always find something that makes me say "oh my god, that's so smart!".

I sae that review too, just so you know, thats in one persons opinion. I dont think they intended that, they do try in their music smhhh.

If that's true, that makes sense why the animation is so off. If you look at their other stuff, everything is very fluent. Idk what software they use but this looks like flash. I'm not saying flash animation is bad but considering the fluency of their other animation, with it looking as clean as cell animation if it's not already, this is a bit of a down grade. Still love the art style tho.

So in a very ironic way. The lyrics are quite meaningful as there meaning is to make fun of modern pop music by being meaningless.

thanks for shortening the main premise of this video

I dunno, this isn't the only one. Another Brick in the Wall freaked me out as well.

Not to mention this video was inspired by very similar themes explored in the cancelled Celebrity Harvest movie that centered around a zombie outbreak brought about the inflation of celebrities' ego. Among the notable studios that expressed interest in developing the film were Dreamworks but Jamie cancelled the deal after they wanted to make a "family-friendly" movie involving the characters.

Yes. Noodle x 2D/anyone in the band is gross.

No, there are others, they mostly ship them because of the whole Zen bond thing in Phase 1. Her exact words were, "Him, Me, We, A special Bond." Because of this plenty of people speculate she might like him a bit, it's unclear how or why but they do seem to have a relationship of sorts from this video, 'Feel Good Inc.' and 'Do Ya Thing.' There are also plenty of articles and interviews in magazines from the past that could back up the evidence as well as information from the original Gorillaz website. (I would only trust reliable sources if you decide to do some digging into the mythology and fandom like I did, fair warning of caution searching for the gorillaz History is like going down a rabbit hole.) Amongst other things I personally find it interesting that Hewlett decided to age his characters instead of just freezing them at a certain point but go figure.

Rachel Campos-Jaimes Rachel Campos-Jaimes I've been a big fan of well over ten years, I'm probably more familiar with the canon than you are. No offence, but there's nothing you can't tell me. Yeah, they have a "relationship", its clearly a brother-sister relationship. There's ZERO evidence for a romantic/sexual relationship and it's just people looking too deep into something that doesn't exist. When she said said they had a bond she was 10. 2D was about 23. Clearly she meant it only in a platonic sense. In Feel Good Inc she was 14 when 2D was about 27. You see how fucking vile that is? These shippers have been sexualising an underage girl. It's very clear she only sees the older guys as her brothers and the idea of sleeping with them them is vile and borderline paedophilic. She was raised by them so that's like child grooming. I said "yes" to be a smartarse, lol. I know heaps of people follow the ship. Most are immature idiots that don't get why it's disgusting. And no, it's still not okay even now that she's an adult. Why the fuck would someone wanna sleep with someone who raised them?

1) I wasn't talking to you, was commenting from an unbiased standpoint answering another person question. 2) Nobody was child grooming anyone obviously. Murdoc 'The international love machine' (as he put it as of recent), made an adult cyborg clone of Noodle, spent months in the same submarine and didn't touch her. Russel was obviously more like a father figure and even if she did like 2D at the time when she quoted, he was completely oblivious, probably still is. She said it not him, so no one is grooming anyone. Only one sexualizing the characters are the perverted fans not the creator nor I. 3) Pedophile only applies to a person if an adult is sexually attracted to a child. Of course anyone new to the fandom would question them if they didn't know their ages. It's 2017 she is almost 30 yrs old, there is no borderline. If she wanted to be with him (which I highly doubt it in vice versa) whether she was "human" or a cartoon, it wouldn't be a thing anyone could do about it and none of anyone's business. 4) Despite what a lot of people think, age gaps like that do happen in reality and amongst celebrity status as well. Beyoncé and Jay-Z (11 yr gap) are hanging in there so is Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie (11 yr gap), Harrison Ford and Calista Flockhart (23 yr gap), Nicolas Cage and Alice Kim (20 yr gap), just to name a few even Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher (15 yr gap) stayed together long enough. If Noodle and 2D had anything similar their relationship would probably resemble Rihanna’s infatuation with Leonardo DiCaprio (13 yr gap) which of course didn't work out, but those kind of dating things do happen, rarely but they happen. 5) Who said anything about sex? Because I sure didn’t; a relationship doesn’t equal sex and it shouldn’t. If they decided to do something screwed up like that it wouldn’t be the first time. 6) People shouldn’t take all of this personal and or seriously Fan or no Fan they aren’t real and it wouldn’t matter if they were. See: ¶3) sentence 4. I've concluded my point in earnest and will not be answering further probable backlash due to my lack of interest of continuing such an unnecessarily doltish debate based on probability, speculation and or opinion that may or may not ever be further ventured by the Gorillaz originator. Our opinions are our own and I wish you well.

Underrated comment, and a really interesting take on this song. I was thinking somewhere along those lines, but more as a critique of the shallowness of society in general. Your theory makes a lot more sense and ties up some loose ends in my head, haha. Also, it's so ironic to me that a song comprised mostly of literal 'blah blah's has infinitely more substance than the pop culture drivel (now there's a cool word I don't see or use very often) it's ridiculing. Double burn.

Moon Flame yup you hit it on the nail!

It took me a few years and this comment to actually get the song.

I personally think that it's about pop artists and how meaningless and bland their songs are, why he keeps saying blah blah blah. When he says "the world is very sexy" is when celebrities turn to porn, and then "it's part of my collapse" speaks for itself. The zombie head are the copies of the celebrities that lost all personality or life in them.

I'm pretty sure you're spot on

I mean he’s not wrong

The song is mocking the modern music industry, and calling it out on how trash it is. That's why he keeps saying blah blah blah. And the reason for the chorus is about the collapse of these celebrities. "The world is very sexy" means them going into porn. "It's part of my collapse" speaks for itself. The little zombie heads represent modern singers and celebrities. You're welcome

Doodle Lily It honestly was. A lot more fun than I expected.

count dracella What IS the meaning of this?

JustSomeKid InTheComments well, this is gonna be long, so ,let's get to it. we know this song was a part of the "reject false icons" project, so, that has a big part of this song. We hear in the song that he keeps repeating "blah blah blah". This kind of represents the fact that all the music nowadays isn't original, its all about the same thing, and eventually, it loses its meaning. Now, there's a specific lyric in the song "I didn't mean to do it It loved me in my head I tried to be a charmer, but got a bit hopeless instead" that lyric is talking about all of the popstar scandals that happen (specifically drug addictions, all though, it could probably apply to all the sexual assualt allegations and such). They claim, "they didn't mean to do it", and that "it loved them in their head", if ya get where I'm going there? and then, another lyric, "the world is very sexy", is pretty self explanatory. its just talking about how all the music nowadays is just sexual, and everything is sexualized and such. then there's, "it's part of my collapse" that just tells us that after a while, their career will just collapse and go downhill. the repeated, "rock it" part tells us, that somehow, with all these scandals and mishaps, all of these popstars still have their fans, and they just "rock it". I hope that wasn't too confusing :( I can't phrase stuff right lolol
