I can imagine driving down the road in a convertible from the late 1980’s, the sun is setting and this song is playing in the car. Just as it’s about to pick up at 0:42 you see the ocean on the horizon.
Yeah, then you get chased down by donut loving police man and driving into the ocean for your car to transform into a shark, with your robot replacement child shot in their head and your best friend you torture every single day of his life, the only time he’s happy is when your not around 😁
OKAY PEOPLE LISTEN. IT DOES SAY CASIO, AND IT IS REFERRING TO THE KEYBOARD COMPANY, AS THAT IS BOTH THE LEAD INSTRUMENT BEING PLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE LEAD SINGER'S (2D) FAVORITE INSTRUMENT. Other actually incorrect lyrics i noticed: "It's sorta made a computer speech" should be "It's automated computer speech" and "If they hold you, whale" should be "If they haul you out" The rest of the whale lines do have at least a slight basis in the context of the storyline, as while 2D was trapped on plastic beach he was watched 24/7 by a whale that "wanted to eat him." It's possible that this was actually a person in a whale costume that Murdoc hired to keep an eye on the kidnapped singer, but nevertheless he was absolutely terrified by the thing and it was very ingrained in his mind at the time. Granted, Murdoc wrote the album, but it's possible that this track in particular was meant to be taken from 2D's point of view, whether he wrote it or not. The band is imaginary, there is a storyline here. That's why the lyrics tend to be nonsensical from the point of view of someone who doesn't focus on the canon.
This song is about, well whales. The lyrics "If they hold you, whale on a really hot day" is probably about whales getting caught by humans. Even though 2D has a fear of whales, this song has a meaning for them.
what do the gorillaz use for all the awesome sounds in there songs like the bleeping and blooping and stuff a drum maching snyths? pls answer would b appreciated
even with corrections, the lyrics are still wrong. "If they Haul You out... on a really hot day" not "if they hold you whale" and "its automated computer speech" no "an". If u are gonna make lyrics at least make it close lol The whole point is the casio keyboard is a mimic of the whale song, but the whale doesn't know its automated computer speech and not another whale lol
+ellabrienna It doesn't matter what people say but you don't have to correct them and say that faces are childish but they really aren't... You see, teenagers still use faces to show stuff like how they feel like :D :( and stuff so just don't be rude?!
Been fishing for that [One That Didn't Get Away] Achievement in World of Warcraft for what feels like forever now. My mind is like a plastic beach at the moment. Sad day. Sad day. I cri ever Tim!
Yes, Casio is a company that makes what everyone's told you it makes, but many musicians refer to the keyboards made by Casio AS a Casio. So they're talking about a Casio Keyboard.
It's actually a japanese company that makes calculators, mobile phones, cameras, musical instruments (especially keyboards) and watches, however, I don't think he is talking about that.
Gorillaz music is a blessing art, every genre that they make, is awesome.
YOU OUT HERE SPITTING FACTS
TRUE
Thank you-2D

that would be a literal dream
I can see myself in that situation
Yes
Yeah, then you get chased down by donut loving police man and driving into the ocean for your car to transform into a shark, with your robot replacement child shot in their head and your best friend you torture every single day of his life, the only time he’s happy is when your not around 😁
Perfect heaven
"It's Automated computer speech", not "It's sort made a computer speech." Kinda makes more sense. lol
I commented this a couple days ago and its changed now :D
But he's really say this
I've been saying that too lol
2D aka Damon Albarn truly does have the voice of an angel.
Athena Andersen-Sparrow mmhm
2D and Damon arent the same person. its been confirmed. they just happen to sound alike. (its a joke they always tell)
Oh man you should here him talk normally. He sounds weird. But he does have the singing voice of an angel, yes
Yes
Tbh, this is probably one of the, if not the most underrated of their songs
It’s damn vood
The most underated
ITS LITERALLY SO GOOD
this is the only song i could never get tired of

zombie porn I've been listening to it on repeat since like 2 days ago

One of my fovorites songs of Gorillaz
For anyone who dont know Casio is an electric keyboard series
Thanks for telling me, I thought Casio was a company that made radios...
I thought they were talking about calculators. Goes to show you how stupid I am! Hahaha
They make all types of electronic parts. Chances are, the device you're using right now uses Casio parts. The song was written a Casio keyboard.
my pfp loves yours
Zenssei ok....

im sure it's actually it sort of made a computer speech
@@plaastica no it’s automated for sure
I think back in the day he had annotations but TH-cam trashed them
this is one of those songs i could listen to on loop and not get tired of.
I don't understand why I love this song so fucking much but I do.
Cant dissagree
Me viciei nessa música ela têm uma vibe muito boa, não consigo tira lá da minha cabeça.
this song is amazing I love it
this song always reminds me of my band teacher because his name is Mr Cassio.
Mathias the Potato send him this song
laughy sapphy I've been wanting to. Gotta find the best moment to do it tho
Casio is a brand that makes keyboards and stuff, your band teacher is named after a music company? That's a funny coincidence haha

hi I'm two years late but I'm loveing this comment chain
This song is about, well whales. The lyrics "If they hold you, whale on a really hot day" is probably about whales getting caught by humans. Even though 2D has a fear of whales, this song has a meaning for them.
I thought Murdoc wrote plastic beach...
Who's hype for the new album?
Hell yeah
when does it come out?
Hope Bagels ME
Hope Bagels me !!
twenty øne junkos me!!! ○♡○
my mom absolutely loves this song lmao
My mom listens to every gorilaz song but this
LIKE WTH
When I tell her to put gorillaz she puts ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING BUT THIS
dude I literally have a casio keyboard :0 thanks for making a song about my keyboard gorillaz
oh my lord this is brilliant.
this song must be more famous
awesome :o oh what was i expecting. they are the gorillaz after all :)
If they hold you, whale? Seriously!? It's "Did they haul you out!"
not gonna sugarcoat it
this song is beautiful
end of.
Well considering 2D himself often refers to his Casio keyboard, it's likely that this song does refer to them.
with this sound im in a other world
Drugs
Wow this is the most hyped song of Gorillaz
what do the gorillaz use for all the awesome sounds in there songs like the bleeping and blooping and stuff a drum maching snyths? pls answer would b appreciated
Jonny Gat They use a casio a casio a casio a casio :vvv
Synths and I guess, “automated computer speech”
even with corrections, the lyrics are still wrong. "If they Haul You out... on a really hot day" not "if they hold you whale" and "its automated computer speech" no "an". If u are gonna make lyrics at least make it close lol The whole point is the casio keyboard is a mimic of the whale song, but the whale doesn't know its automated computer speech and not another whale lol
SportsCourt716• the official lyrics says its if they hold you whale. Otherwise you're right.
No a lot of these lyrics are wrong... just look at the google lyrics
I wonder how many times Murdoc hit 2D when he got scared of singing whale because WHAAALES
Cant Wait For Gorillaz Return Cant Wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P :D
The way that you type makes me uncomfortable.
+Mercedes Vargas the I agree with you, why capitalize ever letter and add those faces? I believe that's how little kids right but I don't know.
+ellabrienna *write
+ellabrienna It doesn't matter what people say but you don't have to correct them and say that faces are childish but they really aren't... You see, teenagers still use faces to show stuff like how they feel like :D :( and stuff so just don't be rude?!
Hilario Lopez still waiting in 2017

The Egab is Stranded Its an electronics manufacturing company. Their calculators and electronic pianos are very well known.
At first, I thought this was ganna go Snoop style and just turn into a rap beat after that beginning part, so glad it didn't.
''if they hold you out on a really hot day'' makes way more sense
woooooooah, in love
When 2D says its a casio for a second time in each chorus i here its a curse to yo
Me :whales
2D:*intently screaming* why do you do this to me ?????
I want the instrumental of this song
th-cam.com/video/PCZ7__F-tlo/w-d-xo.html
2:21 "Platic yo, plastic yo, plastic yo
Green, green dough"
wouldnt it fit better simply singing : "Its autommated cumputer speech"? with no "an"
Suits the rythm well to me ;)
Yes, Casio is a company that makes what everyone's told you it makes, but many musicians refer to the keyboards made by Casio AS a Casio. So they're talking about a Casio Keyboard.
Favorite song..." I sold it mane, so come and view dis beach". lls "blasted yo, on a plastic beach and I'm casting off" wickedy wickedy"
Damn... I thought half these words were something else. :/
Gatling Turtle - I thought wrong about the lyrics
Too
you’re probably right about what you thought. these aren’t accurate
"It's automated computer speech..."
**Its sort of made a computer speech**
Me: ???? I thought it was automated???
**looks up lyrics**
ITS AUTOMATED!
Heightened state of mind
Sponsored By Casio, the people who made the keyboard your teacher uses in Music, and the people who made your calculator in Calculus.
And the people who made the watch you stare at everytime waiting for school time to end.
this is the best
plastic beach is under appreciated
Casio's best propaganda
Honestly I think it's 'automated' instead of 'it's sort of made of '
it's aitomated
Actually, possibly: 2-D says his first keyboard was a Custom VL-1, which is a Casio. So I'm thinking it is referencing the company.
It's actually a japanese company that makes calculators, mobile phones, cameras, musical instruments (especially keyboards) and watches, however, I don't think he is talking about that.
I thought “Cacio, on a plastic beach” was actually “Calcium, on a plastic beach”
casio is a company that makes the g shocks
I wear a Casio watch right Now.
Also they make clocks
+caprikola
and calculators.
no dislikes ,thats what i like!
0 dislikes. HELL YEAH!
this song reminds me of ween
Easedmonster boognish rises
This sounds like both a sonic the hedgehog theme and something from regular show
¿Qué es lo que dice desde el minuto 2:21 al 2:40?
What does it say from the minute 2:21 to 2:40?
0:53 starts
1:12
I always thought he was saying "It's classy on, on a plastic beach." Don't know if it's accurate but it just seemed to make more sense, I suppose.
Sorry. I meant to say: "It's classy on, on the Plastic Beach." Kinda makes a difference. Again. Not totally sure, but it makes more sense.
9089darklord Its a casio on a plastic beach
9089darklord Oh... i just saw this is the lyrics version^^
Epic
That scratch noise at 1:33 reminds me of Patapon.
I love it though
*Casio* *Everybody things is a Casio clock *
It's a company that makes watches, keyboards and calculators, however, I don;t think they are talking about that.
anyone still here bahah
This shit is why I want a keyboard so bad
@WeAreTeamRaVe Kids with guns is from Demon Days :)
just imagine how scarred 2d was after singing the beggining
@theegabisstranded It's a brand, wathces and stuff and also keyboards(but I guess that they are different companies] :D [that's all I know]
Well. Now I know what the lyrics are. Nothing what I thought.
Most of the lyrics here are wrong
@brady2312 I searched on 3 or 4 sites for lyrics and it says : "It's sort of made o' computer speech" if they are wrong I apologize :d
Gorillaz plastic beach- plastic beach. Ft. Plastic beach
I was thinking that casio is the car now I see in the coments that is an instrument, that is a watch. Please 😂
+La li lu le lo My class uses Casio-Calculators :
You say they didn't mean Cassiopeia from LoL? ; P
3:04 is killing me

2:21 Casio Casio Casio Mickey mouse 4x

I am getting crazy! What is casio?
Go to store, buy some plastic cheese x2
so 2D makes a song about that whale he hates XD
and the beat to this song plays in murdocs secret room
probably keyboards granted 2-d's bio
The Casio...Isn't the Noddle's instrument? I'm not sure.
Rionna Bellicorne no, it's 2D's. Casio = electric piano
Rionna Bellicorne Noodle does guitar. (and sometimes melodica) Casio makes keyboards, that's 2D's thing. ^v^
Thanks you two ;)Bring Me to life and TheFangirlOtaku
