The zombie gorilla's dance (around 4:45) is the same as Michael Jackson's Thriller music video, which is why the clap above the head's in there. Also, it's a melodica - a keyboard that you blow into to produce the sound, but play the notes on the keys - rather than a harmonica. Damon plays it on a number of Gorillaz songs.
It really is virtually impossible that you've never heard this song, not just because it's an amazing song, but because it was played literally EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME! Anyway, Gorillaz are a virtual band, founded by (and doing vocals) Damon Albarn from Blur.
Idk man.. I heard feel good Inc and this song for the first time like 3 years ago and I grew up with rock and metal, etc 🤣🤷♂️ Could be lying, or could have heard the song and recognized certain parts without having actually ever really listened to it
Oh dude, Gorillaz has one of the deepest lores ever for a fictional band. It tells a story throughout their albums, and it's a LOOOONG one. Could be cool to make a series of it!
Considering that they exist in a shared universe, it's deeper than many realize. Same universe as Powerpuff girls. The creators of each are friends and started burying references in each work, then actually had one of the PPG villains fill in on base for the Gorillaz at one point
To be fair, I'm in my early thirties, and this song came out when I was 11. It wouldn't be surprising that someone in their twenties wouldn't have heard it.
@@DarkestAndBlackest Alex is 29, would have been 7 at the time, don't make excuses for him. All of his kid friends would have been listening to it, all over the radio, and television.
The artistry of Gorillaz is astounding. There's never been a band so untethered by genre, industry, or expectations. They just make pure music, they've been telling this story for over twenty years, and every song is a masterpiece. You could make a channel thats just a deep dive into them and it would be successful because they are such a phenomenal group.
Look into Pigface, 150+ revolving members from bands like tool , the cure, Nin, sex pistols, peter Murphy, ministry, sepultura, Rammstein, Gwar, sisters of mercy, Red Hot chili peppers, Ween, and that's just scratching the surface.
Del is one of my favourite rappers precisely because of the swagger he puts in his delivery. It's got a bit of an old-school feel to it, but it's smoother, like you said, just riding the wave.
You may like Funny Man, from Hollywood Undead. He has a lot of the vibes with a laid back feel to most of his rhyming and raps and he has a deep voice as well. :) And of course the grandfather of deep voiced rappers with cool flows, Nate Dogg
Definitely one of those great songs from the 2000's. There's an amazing metal cover that was done of this song by Leo Moracchioli that you would probably enjoy.
Part of the 'thing' of Gorrilaz is that they always have a guest artist that kinda determines the direction of the song, which makes every song unique and means they bounce wildly between genres. Personally I really like their songs 'Melancholy Hill', 'Saturnz Barz' and 'DARE'. And this one of course
Bro, i dont care if someone has heard it for the first time or millionths of times. Im just glad people still bop this. It's a timeless banger, and hopefully, it will be forever.
I love the Gorillaz! Some of my other favorite songs from the 1st album are "Tomorrow Comes Today", "19-2000", "5/4"... actually, I'm just going to say the whole 1st album is just such a great mix of sounds and funky vibes that I love!
Same here. I remember popping in the disc to our household Gateway computer and watching the music video and couldn't stop laughing when he gets pulled down by the nuts. Sound Check (Gravity) is probably one of my favorite tracks of all time.
The Gorillaz are my absolute favorite band, they just can't be categorized into any genre because every album is so different. Hope you respond to more of their songs, they have so many good ones.. And Damon Albarn is a genius, always amazing how he juggles Blur, Gorillaz and all his projects
This entire album is brilliant. First listen: appreciate the songs. Second listen: Hear all the instruments, styles, tones and influences that gel in an amazingly complex and smooth way. Nothing in this album is straightforward or basic, but it feels easy and accessible. Classic album.
i want to say thanks dude been a fan of Gorillaz for years but i never really delved into the back story of the songs till recently so when you pointed out what the back story for this song was it was like a block just fell into place & suddenly i could see the deeper meaning & vibe on a deeper level so cheers
😵 I've heard this song probably a bajillion times before and know the background and what it was intended to represent makes me not only want to listen to it on repeat but straight up gave me CHILLS this time. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS BREAKDOWN!!!!
Definitely one of those songs that I refuse to skip no matter how many times it pops up. This one, feel good inc. and tomorrow comes today are for sure my favorites.
Fun fact if you havent known, the voice for 2-D, the bands virtual lead singer is actually voiced by dameon albarn who is in fact the lead singer for the rock band BLUR.
'The harmonica gives the song a five o'clock shadow'... In all my YT travels, I never heard such an oddly specific description for a musical instrument's contribution to a song. Yet, I'm not remotely surprised it came from you, Alex😉
I can still remember hearing this song premiering on the radio. My middle school/high school years had some bangers and it was a weeeeeeeird time for music. But it was beautiful and I miss it so much.
I don't really comment on videos often but Alex has become one of my favourites and Gorillaz might just be my all time favourite band. Would love to see more reactions.
I don't know why but the fact that you JUST heard this song for the first time made me feel very old LOL 😆 I love your reaction 👍 It's awesome to see someone genuinely enjoying great music! Your channel rocks
I've been a passive fan of Gorillaz for 20 years, catching a couple songs of theirs here and there. Last year, I did a deep dive and listened to EVERYTHING. They quickly climbed my ranks and are now in my top 5. I highly recommend reacting to more of them. They have no set genre, either. The creators just wanted to make music, and they've been highly successful at it, including TONS of collabs. Mostly with UK stars, but also with some US stars like Snoop, Jack Black, and Bruce Willis as a character in a music video. Some songs you could react to, some of my faves actually. Dare, El Manana, Empire Ants, Welcome to the World of Plastic Beach, Plastic Beach, Rhinestone Eyes, Stylo, Tranz, Melancholy Hill, The Lost Cord, Cracker Island, and Humility. I could say so many others, but those are all top-tier bangers. Immaculate vibes.
Came to your channel about a week ago to see your reaction to LIBAD. Then I had this waved in my face and I had to subscribe. Good entertaining breakdowns man.
Alex I'm STOKED that you reacted to this! I'm a big fan of this song. I've been a fan since I first heard it back when it first came out all those years ago! Should you listen to more Gorrilaz? Uh.. YUP! I'm not going to pick a song though - go with your gut. :)
Don't be so gullible. You honestly believe he's never heard this song before? People do this all the time. Do fake reactions to things they obviously already knew about. He does it for money.
Harmonicas DO actually give songs a five o clock shadow. 😂😂😂😂❤ Loved that comment so much, on top of all the other commentary. You are the best, Alex. 😊
I absolutely love the Soul Child remix of 19-2000 as a follow up song/MV to go into after this one, but another really good track of the first album is "Tomorrow Comes Today" its worth a listen!!!!!!
BRO 100% keen to see more of you checking out Gorillaz. There's such an awesome variety of songs. Super chill/sombre songs like El Manana or Aries. Upbeat happy stuff like Humility, trippy songs like Tranz. Any and all of it. All the best mate.
Damon always picks the best people to collaborate on his Gorillaz tracks. Del, De La Soul, Snoop Dogg (Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach is just brilliant) among others. It's all golden. Also it's not a harmonica, it's a melodica :)
Gorillaz is one wild ride. I mean everything they've done is just so unique. I mean Plastic Beach and Demon Days Gorillaz are just awesome. No other Band sounds like them.
Gorillaz were such a trend setter. They were the first band to really get in to audio-visual, now every group does it. Some other songs by them for you to check out are 19-2000, Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head, Stylo, Kids With Guns, Dare.
Those dance moves they do with their shoulders and all that is from "Thriller" by Michael Jackson. If you've never seen that video, you should. It's done like a mini horror movie.
I’ve been away for a while but it’s cool to see you keeping the energy for the reactions. I gotta say man, you can’t mix that eyewear with that mustache. I’m not going to say what it looks like but I wouldn’t let my kid near you 😂. I’m half kidding. Cool vid, though I don’t buy that it’s the first time you’ve heard this song.
I’m a metal head, but when my wife and I “partake in communion” with the grass in the backyard… you can betcha we got Gorillaz on the playlist. Their latest album is also full of bangers
@@mowerman8377haha I often think that too. No way you didn't know x. I kind of accept it as given when it comes to Elizabeth Zharhoff's channel. As an Opera singer she is a bit more detached of let's say common music. But damn she is fun to watch her reactions. Be it fake or not. Like her input with her music background
Such a good song, this jam is definitely what hooked me on Gorillaz...even before I realized the lead singer is the same guy that was the lead singer of Blur.
For years Gorillaz was considered a one-hit-wonder because of this song right here. And then they put out Demon Days which is one of the greatest hiphop albums of all time. Seriously. Every track on Demon Days is a masterpiece.
I remember flipping over to MTV at some point in the night of 9/11 because I just needed a break from the news coverage. This was one of the music videos that they played.
I love the the Gorillaz!! Been listening to them since this song came out way back in the day, I was like 10. Welcome to the club, you will end up down the rabbit hole lol
Hope you are doing well. Need to do more Gorillaz, Dirty Harry, Dare, Plastic Beach, Meloncholy Hill, Strange Timez, The Last Chord, The Pink Phantom, El Manana, all great songs. By the way, been reacting with you since you first started. Always have enjoyed your enthusiasm and passion in your reactions. Keep it up.
WELL WELL WELL. we have a fresh one. Id say this was a good introduction. My favorite Gorrillaz songs are Saturn Barz (with Popcaan), Pacman (with Schoolboy Q) and Feel Good Inc. (with Delasoul)
I've seen them live, they are amazing PLEASEEE CONTINUE I would love to see you react to the albums, Damon, the lead singer of the band is a complete musical Chameleon, every album is different, all of them extremely meaningfull and the cartoon animations have their own story within the music!!
My sister and I love this band ever since I bought a disk entitled "Demon Days" without even knowing them at the first place. Her most favourite Gorillaz song now is "Saturnz Barz" and "Fire Flies" total banger for times you want to chill.
I've been waiting for reactors to catch on to their cannon in the videos, PLEASE Look into reacting to them in order of release, Bananaz is worth watching for some clarity about how the collective works, it will help make sense of the project as a whole, and theres 20 + years of masterpieces to discover. Not to mention artists you've never been aware of to discover too❤
I'm actually surprised that you had never heard this song before. We're almost the same age, and I remember this song receiving a lot of air time on MTV!

I was thinking the exact same thing…
@muzikgod r inability to understand compartmentalization of cultures including music is YOUR issue...not anybody elses.
It is plausible, maybe not probable....which means there are statistical percentages that can easily slip by. He might have had brushes with it that he never paid attention to and doesnt remember.
Let go of your ego.
@@justanotherdayinthelife9841 agreed, its just a statistical quirk that every single reactor on TH-cam has never heard a lot of popular songs.
@@justanotherdayinthelife9841 chill
Though to be fair he does say he said he might have heard it somewhere
The zombie gorilla's dance (around 4:45) is the same as Michael Jackson's Thriller music video, which is why the clap above the head's in there. Also, it's a melodica - a keyboard that you blow into to produce the sound, but play the notes on the keys - rather than a harmonica. Damon plays it on a number of Gorillaz songs.
He probably doesn‘t know Thriller either 😂
@@Watthexe0815 when he said what is that? i was like whaaaaat???
I thought it sounded more Melodica than Harmonica.
"you don't see with your eyes, you perceive with your mind" such a good line
Mad eme mad he spoke over it cause the line is so cold.
It really is virtually impossible that you've never heard this song, not just because it's an amazing song, but because it was played literally EVERYWHERE ALL THE TIME!

It is a little suspect
Sus
Yeah I literally just heard it again on the radio today. Pretty amazing that it's still being played.
EVERYWHERE!
Oh dude, Gorillaz has one of the deepest lores ever for a fictional band. It tells a story throughout their albums, and it's a LOOOONG one. Could be cool to make a series of it!
If you like rock music I'd recommend Gloryhammer. They're like a band that has a lore and they just rock the D&D vibe.
If you want deep lore, listen to the catalogue of Ayreon. Lore ranging from medieval times to 2084
Considering that they exist in a shared universe, it's deeper than many realize. Same universe as Powerpuff girls. The creators of each are friends and started burying references in each work, then actually had one of the PPG villains fill in on base for the Gorillaz at one point
Did you live under a rock?😂
I'm certain he's lying.
well, some are not just as old as we are ;)
@@Destros2ndone well...maybe you're right... I just don't want to be THAT old
To be fair, I'm in my early thirties, and this song came out when I was 11. It wouldn't be surprising that someone in their twenties wouldn't have heard it.

I still remember seeing it on MTV 2 as a kid and being hooked because of the cartoon lmao

They're not really a band in the normal sense. Most of it is guest artists since they're a virtual band they can have anyone fill in.
I have loved them since day 1, and hard agree with all you say. Truly an art project and not just a band.
Р 3:22 3:22 😅 😊😊
Look into Pigface, 150+ revolving members from bands like tool , the cure, Nin, sex pistols, peter Murphy, ministry, sepultura, Rammstein, Gwar, sisters of mercy, Red Hot chili peppers, Ween, and that's just scratching the surface.
And a random band that has random members and has done nothing but get better and better
Del is one of my favourite rappers precisely because of the swagger he puts in his delivery. It's got a bit of an old-school feel to it, but it's smoother, like you said, just riding the wave.
Not just how old school he is, but how confident his delivery is for not having been the original lyrics.
You may like Funny Man, from Hollywood Undead. He has a lot of the vibes with a laid back feel to most of his rhyming and raps and he has a deep voice as well. :)
And of course the grandfather of deep voiced rappers with cool flows, Nate Dogg
@@CrazeeAdam no
Don't forget. You gotta wash your ass if you must.
Del forever! Also Hieroglyphics!
Not a harmonica, but a melodica. Kind of like a miniature keyboard that you blow into.
its a type of reed harp the melodica is.
As is a harmonica.
I’m a 62yr old Aussie mum who loved this song back in the day! How did you not know it, it’s a classic!! And I’m not a rap fan but this is excellent!
Definitely one of those great songs from the 2000's. There's an amazing metal cover that was done of this song by Leo Moracchioli that you would probably enjoy.
Yes, Leo's covered so many songs and 99 percent of them are amazing.

So beautifully hypnotic 😊
Great song. Such an amazing video as well
The zombie gorillas dancing was such a fantastic nod to thriller that this song and video lives rent free in my brain and I'm not even mad about it.
What you said at the end of this video helped me solve the mental block I’ve had from one particular work problem, thank you.
You definitely gotta do more plz!!! I love them if you love rap and rock you gotta listen to them

How does that work? I've never thought to find out. Like, do u see Damon albarn or...? 😂

I wouldn't go that far. 19-2000 was huge. I heard that everywhere and it charted rather high.
Can't believe you haven't listened to Gorillaz. And man, this song is the absolute classic
When I read the title, I could hardly believe it either
I remember flipping over to MTV at some point in the night of 9/11 because I just needed a break from the news coverage. This was one of the music videos that they played.
I absolutely love that album cover. I would stare at it all the time while listening to this on repeat on my iPod.
If you want a real psychedelic experience of these guys then Saturnz Barz is a good choice.
I think he'd enjoy the comedy in the MV of that one LMAO
YAAAAS that song SLAPS
Gorillaz are awesome
I love the the Gorillaz!! Been listening to them since this song came out way back in the day, I was like 10. Welcome to the club, you will end up down the rabbit hole lol
Looking forward to you checking out more Gorillaz!
On Melancholy Hill next o/
Hope you are doing well. Need to do more Gorillaz, Dirty Harry, Dare, Plastic Beach, Meloncholy Hill, Strange Timez, The Last Chord, The Pink Phantom, El Manana, all great songs. By the way, been reacting with you since you first started. Always have enjoyed your enthusiasm and passion in your reactions. Keep it up.
Gotta add Stylo and Doncamatic to that list. I didn't know who Daley was until Doncamatic. Gorillaz is just an experience that can't be denied
This is definitely a song to bebop down the road to. I had this on a cassette that I would listen to while walking.
This song came up in my TH-cam music mix a few years ago and I was hooked.😎
There is zero chance you never heard this. These reaction channels are outta control.
this is a definite lie, there's no way it's your first time listening to this 💀
My g u definitely live under a rock this song is legendary lol
How have you not heard this til now!? Crazy lol
Yup, listened to that album a lot when it came out. I like listening to Punk and Sound Check one after the other.
How are you just hearing this dude! Classic
You need to do a deep dive of their songs, it’s a very cool rabbit hole to go down.
You gotta listen the this whole album
Such a good one
It's an amazing album. Hard to believe there are people out there who hasn't heard this song yet
Awe yes, one of my long time favs.
I still have this album from when I was a kid.. One of my favorite songs is Rhyme stone eyes and Dirty Harry
I refuse to believe that this song got past ANYONE
If you dont have a smile on your face after listening to it you arent human. It's an entire vibe!
WELL WELL WELL. we have a fresh one. Id say this was a good introduction. My favorite Gorrillaz songs are Saturn Barz (with Popcaan), Pacman (with Schoolboy Q) and Feel Good Inc. (with Delasoul)
I respect how Hip-Hop Fan Alex became so much of a metalhead that now he's discovering Hip-Hop songs
I've seen them live, they are amazing PLEASEEE CONTINUE
I would love to see you react to the albums, Damon, the lead singer of the band is a complete musical Chameleon, every album is different, all of them extremely meaningfull and the cartoon animations have their own story within the music!!
My sister and I love this band ever since I bought a disk entitled "Demon Days" without even knowing them at the first place. Her most favourite Gorillaz song now is "Saturnz Barz" and "Fire Flies" total banger for times you want to chill.
I've been waiting for reactors to catch on to their cannon in the videos, PLEASE
Look into reacting to them in order of release,
Bananaz is worth watching for some clarity about how the collective works, it will help make sense of the project as a whole, and theres 20 + years of masterpieces to discover. Not to mention artists you've never been aware of to discover too❤
I'm actually surprised that you had never heard this song before. We're almost the same age, and I remember this song receiving a lot of air time on MTV!
This is one of my favorite go to warmup songs for karaoke 🎤
