Fanbase: "Did you reupload the video?" Gorillaz: "Yes." Fanbase: "What did it cost?" Gorillaz: "GTA."

2D: *is texting.* Noodle: *is learning how to drive.* Russell: *is Noodle's instructor.* Murdoc: *is.*

Reminds me of a drugged up version on 19-2000 without a giant moose.

They really lost: 1. Their trust/friendship with rockstar 2. *Murdoc*

Funfact: murdoc is actually secretly singing "get the cool shoe shine" while everyone is listening to the song

Gorillaz: Can change a whole fucking video and make it better and still be canon

"It feels so good to be in total control!" - KZbin Copyright system/Algorithm

The way they posted this without the Song Machine intro or "Next episode" feels so passive-aggressive

This is the fever-dream-cool-shoeshine version of the GTA video AHAHAHA

"The freeway lizards are not feelin' so good." Yeah, they feel eel.

1:39 2D: having the best moment of his life Russel: regrets life decisions Noodle: doesn’t know she would kill everyone including herself if they were real Murdoc: s h o o k

Plot Twist: Murdoc was responsible for putting GTA footage over the original music video, hence why you could barely see him at all in this video cuz he doesn't want to get identified and get sued by Rockstar.

Oh it's back up again! Now with -96% GTA tho 😩

Thought: 2D could actually be staring at his phone the whole time and we would never know

I'm 52, and when my daughter had this song on I said it sounds like new wave Beck. Lol, she said it IS Beck, with Gorillaz. I'm getting old but my ears are fine! 😉

the fact that you can only see Murdoc for like a frame is so fucking funny

2001: 19-2000 2010: Stylo 2021: The Valley Of The Pagans

People making GTA V videos every single day Rockstar: Sleeps Gorillaz: Makes GTA V video Rockstar: 5 star Wanted Level

1:38 love how 2D trusts Noodle and is here for it, the bond they have is so cute

This video not only looks better than the original GTA one, but also it pays more homage to the 19-2000 music video. Only thing missing is the Pink Phantom hanging on to the back of the car and Murdoc appearing less than in the original, which he never really did much in the original video anyways and has less to work with here unfortunately.

I find it funny how 2D isn't even looking at his phone, because of his eyes you dunno where he's looking, so he has to turn his head to tell them "I'm looking over here"

You’ll never be as cool as 2-D and his four-camera phone.

The sarcasm in the lyrics is golden.

Rockstar you won't have more Gorillaz songs if you keep doing this

Gorillaz: Look we fixed it Rockstar: *Takes it down for using GTAV water effects on the Plastic Beach part.*

Rockstar: gets a Gorillaz song into their game Rockstar when Gorillaz puts their game into a song: *And I took that personally*

love how Noodle went from the little kid in the back seat singing along to the one in the driver's seat

Noodle is now driving instead of sitting in the back singing about shoe shines, **sniff** she grows up so fast.

The level of consistent HIGH quality on all Gorillaz related content makes my head spin

Rockstar: copyright strikes. Gorillaz: "Fine, I'll do it myself." *pops Viagra tablets*

I'm so glad Beck and Damon finally collaborated. Two absolute legends in my book - some of my absolute favourite musicians out there.

But If you close your eyes.... its almost as if nothing has changed at all

“You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you”

It's funny how Gorillaz has a song in GTA, but can't have GTA in a Gorillaz song.

Ok. So I’m learning how to drive, and I come across this song. So when I finally get the hang of it, I’ll just have the window open blasting this song cause I’ll be in total control

A fitting alternative, but part of me was really hoping they would have reshot the video in Saint's Row or something out of spite.

Not gonna lie, I prefer this over the GTA one, but Take Two/Rockstar Games were big babies for taking down what is essentially free marketing for them.

I like the 19-2000 vibe going on in this video, they could have paid even more homage to that vibe and reused the ramp scene from 19/2000 to go flying out the portal into the plastic beach. But this is still a nice mellow video

Love how they didn't bother changing the thumbnail

Noodle: ''Can I drive?'' Russel: ''Sure I'll teach you.'' What Russel didn't expect: 3:12

Can’t believe they had to change the video because of Rockstar.

rockstar didn’t deserve to have their product featured in a gorrilaz music video anyways😤

This song "The Valley of the Pagans" by Gorillaz featuring Beck. Now available in Forza Horizon 5 radio station, Horizon Pulse.

Gonna miss the old video. The commentary of setting specifically this song in a fake Hollywood was too good

Me in 2005: wow Gorillaz is really good Me in 2021: wow Gorillaz is really good

Plot twist: they’re driving on the same roads from the 19-2000 music video After 20 entire years.... we can finally say that noodle has Finally gotten the cool shoe shine

I’m so glad Beck and Damon got to collaborate, the music has been absolutely great with the collaborations for song machine.

now im glad we can have two video versions of this song ;)

i can’t believe they redid this thing, this is awesome

“So convincing, but something’s missing” yeah the original video.

Alguien mas se ha dado cuenta de que es muy parecida la carretera ala de la cancion de 19-2000? Son identicas literal

I wonder if Jamie Hewlett had to animate all this himself. Imagine him finding out the video got flagged and he had to back and reanimate everything himself while whispering "shit-shit-shit-shit'!"

Taken down or not, that original GTA music video was iconic as hell. This one’s real sick too. Very vaporwave.

Even though we lost the GTA reference, This feels more in line of the gorillaz universe

Lyrics Welcome to the land of the permanent sun Where the flowers are melted and the future is fun The freeway lizards are all feelin' so good From a one-way trip back to West Hollywood, let's go Feels so good to have a perfect song I feel so good to be in total control I feel so good to have a perfect song I feel so good to be in total control There were spotlights flying, through the sky From a winter wonderland, catching out The beasts hiding in the clouds, no future, bad man Not before Christmas, not very likely One hundred million Viagra tablets Stored in a warehouse... in a valley (laughs) Feels so good to have a perfect song (uh-huh) I feel so good to be in total control (uh-huh) Feels so good to have a perfect song (uh-huh) I feel so good to be in total control (uh-huh) It's so convincing, but something's missing The sun is kissing my face and erasing my doubts I'm going out with a bang, and the fangs of a parasite Are feeling alright Alright all night alright alright alright Say sweet dreams, etc. & forever I hope, said no one She's a plastic Cleopatra on a throne of ice She's a haemophiliac With a dying battery life Candy-colored fingers and schadenfreude eyes Thinkin' airbrushed thoughts with a logo on her mind It's so delightful, it's so insightful It's so frightful, and I'm feeling it Every single fucking day (yay yay yay yay yay) It's time to party It's time to party (whoo!) In the valley where you wake up every beautiful day And the world you created in your image is golden Valley made of mirrors Oh the night is so bright You can feel like a pagan You can feel like a pagan In the valley (valley) In the valley (valley) In the valley (valley) In the valley (valley) Feel like a pagan now Feel like a pagan In the valley (valley) In the valley (valley) Feel like a pagan

Everyone makes jokes about, “He turned himself into a pickle, funniest thing I’ve ever seen.” When really Murdoc did it first. Murdoc should really sue.

Rockstar: uses gorillaz music in gta Gorillaz: uses gta in their music video Rockstar: 😡

One thing I’m seeing that as far as I’ve seen no one point out is how this highway Noodle is driving down looks to be the same highway from 19-2000.

now we need a version of the song where 2D is drving since he has no driver's license

Damn, it ain’t no Los Santos, but looks like we went back in time!

Honestly how did rockstar see having an update revealed in a gorillaz video would be amazing

I read that beck did the green screens for this first but was really disappointed that they were going to have him do a screentime call instead for his part in the original. Glad to see beck's part finally made it in.

Banger i have a phase when i listen one particular gorillaz song over and over again and its the valley of the pagans turns.

I'm a normal person, when I see Gorillaz, *I click*

This whole music video is just an extremely trippy acid flashback to 19-2000 😭🤚🏼 (Edit; I just realized. I’m pretty sure that’s the whole point. They’re going back through time. Re-living the story that they never officially finished)

19-2000: “Now with no Geep, no shoe shine, and no Murdoc”

*Gorillaz - PAC-MAN exist* . NAMCO: "eh" *Gorillaz - Valley of the Pagans exist* . Rockstar: "I have altered the terms pray I do not alter them further"

3:01 *Cheat Activated*

Gorillaz is so iconic that even my Mom knew this was a Gorillaz song just five seconds into it

Everyone pretending they’ve never seen half of this video this before: Ooo, Ahh, Woww, Nicee 😃

ROCKSTAR: lo voy a borrar por derechos de autor ALSO ROCKSTAR : Tenemos Feel Good INC

I love this song, but at 1:45 there was a missed lyric opportunity. They should’ve said “said no one *ever*”

again. that plastic beach at the end gives me so much nostalgia.

Everyone that watched the original is looking at this like: "Look how they massacred my boi😭"

Valley of the Pagans: Now with 99% MORE Hotline Miami!!

02:28 2d looks super high

Tomorrow, Gorillaz debut album "Gorillaz" Will be 20 years old!

I'm happy they didnt want to leave us without a video after the other one got taken down

Hopefully this doesn’t get deleted

0:59 "No future batman, not before christmas, not very likely." :(

Can I say that 2D might be the only one that kind of has a connection to the others 2D and Murdoc: British 2D and Noodle: Buddist 2D and Russel: White Eyes( I know it was black, but it's current state is white)

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, the animation for this looks amazing (but all Gorillaz videos have great animation lol), and what they did with Beck looked really cool, but I miss the bits in the old video where it looked like 2-D was doing a video call with Beck, and it sucks that GTA copyright striked the old video.

For those who don’t know: the original was taken down by rockstar

99% less GTA but 99% more Forza Horizon 5

Well, at least there’s an “official” music video again. Too bad the original was claimed.

Now that GTA is removed, let’s talk Hotline Miami

*Gorillaz did really go through the portal to go back im time and do Vally of the Pagans again to prevent Rockstar from sueing them*

Gorillaz have been my #1 since they dropped, and Beck my #2 since Loser first hit the airwaves. Why did it take 20 years for them to collab?! I can’t adequately explain how happy it made me to hear my two favorite artists made this masterpiece.

So, Rockstar was the problem, huh?

Damon Albarn and Beck are a match made in heaven!

2:18 is the best part

I'm surprised no one realized that It's Russell and noodle in the front seat And 2-Ds in the back A little switch for 19-2,000

0:20 [Verse 1: Beck] Welcome to the land of the permanent sun Where the flowers are melted and the future is fun The freeway lizards are feeling so good On a one-way trip back to West Hollywood, let's go 0:35 [Chorus: 2-D and Beck] It feels so good to have a perfect soul It feels so good to be in total control It feels so good to have a perfect soul It feels so good to be in total control 0:49 [Verse 2: 2-D] There was spotlights flying through the sky From the winter wonderland, catching out The bees hiding in the grounds, no future badman Nothing for Christmas, not very likely One-hundred million Viagra tablets Stored in a warehouse in the valley 1:12 [Chorus: 2-D and Beck] It feels so good to have a perfect soul (Uh-huh) It feels so good to be in total control (Uh-huh) It feels so good to have a perfect soul (Uh-huh) It feels so good to be in total control (Uh-huh) 1:26 [Bridge: Beck] It's so convincing, but something's missing The sun is kissing my face and erasing my doubts I'm going out with a bang, and the fangs of a parasite I'm feeling alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright, alright 1:41 [Bridge: 2-D] Untainted dreams, etcetera and forever I hope, said no one 1:48 [Verse 3: Beck] She's a plastic Cleopatra on a throne of ice She's a hemophiliac with a dying battery life Candy-colored fingers and Schadenfreude eyes Thinking airbrushed thoughts with the logo on her mind 2:03 [Bridge: Beck] It's so delightful, it's so insightful It's so frightful, and I'm feeling it Every single f🤡ing day-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay It's time to party It's time to party (Woo) 2:18 [Refrain: 2-D] In the valley where you wake up every beautiful day And the world you created in your image is golden In a valley made of mirrors, oh, the light is so bright You can feel like a Pagan, you can feel like a Pagan In the valley where you wake up every beautiful day And the world you created in your image is golden In a valley made of mirrors, oh, the light is so bright You can feel like a Pagan, you can feel like a Pagan 2:47 [Outro: 2-D and Beck] In the valley (Feel like a pagan) Yeah, I live in the valley In the valley (Feel like a pagan) I heard there's a good shaman out in the desert In the valley (Feel like a pagan) Getting really transcendental and hiking In the valley (Feel like a pagan, feel like a pagan) In the valley I'm on a cleanse (Feel like a pagan) In the valley Yeah, the hot tub is really chill Feel like a pagan (Lyrics by Genius)

At first I was like, hey they're on the wrong side of the road. Then I was like oh yea, Damon is from UK. Then I realized it's Gorillaz and they're prob having a bit too much fun to care which side of the road they're on at the time.

I just now realized that beck is the guy who made the songs for sex bob-omb in scott pilgrim vs the world. Last time this video was up I didn't even realize they had Beck on this track.

Beck is the coolest dude ever. Has been around since the mid 90's and is still kickin' it! Now with the most awesome animated band ever!!

*Holy shit it's back!* Edit: Oh this is different lmao, sucks to be those who didn't watch the original.

All those bridges really give 19-2000 vibes

Gorillaz: **travels back to Plastic Beach** Murdoc: *Honey, i'm home!*

my brother plays a baseball game and one of the songs was this but i didnt know this song existed then i recognized 2-D's voice lol
