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.

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

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!!

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

TOP 10 BIGGEST CROSSOVERS IN HISTORY

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Elton John's animated character design makes me smile.

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

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

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

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

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

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 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)

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.

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

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

3 different genres, 3 different generations, 1 song

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

oh yes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gorillaz style Elton John is the most adorable thing.

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

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

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

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

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

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!!!❤️❤️❤️

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

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

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

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

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

TOMORROW MUST COME TODAY!

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

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

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.

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

Elton John is incredible 👌

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

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

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

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

Each artist contributes perfectly

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

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.

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

0:18 if that was the only part that was visible of 2D's body you would realize he is in his fucking 40's

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

6lack's verse is underrated man. Gotta be up there with my fav Gorillaz songs, Empire Ants, Melancholy Hill, Don't Get Lost in Heaven/Demon Days, Andromeda, Ticker Tape. There's too many to note...

I love 2ds eyes in the beginning

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.

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

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

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...

That Elton John guy sounded great he should make more music

So 2D and Murdoc are jamming out with 6lack and Sir Elton John while Noodle and Russ go on a road trip? Interesting.

My crying to the song cos its so gorgeous and very sentimental Murdoc: It'S mEE

bro I was listening to music while doing homework and I kinda drowned out the song eventually so at the end when I heard Murdoc I literally jumped

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