Here is a compilation I made of every sample that has been used in the music of Gorillaz from their first to their latest album, and where it came from. Enjoy!
I live in Seattle where he got that toy. The exact store is called Archie McPhee and they're locally known for selling weird toys. They're also the store behind that weird horse mask from like eight years ago.
i think the sampled beats and turntable scratching of the first album is what i miss most when i listen to new gorillaz... that first album and G-Sides had such a gritty underground hip hop flavour that i love
The Great Sloth Lord you can find the pickle in Seattle at trinket shops and he made the song while in Seattle for the Plastic Beach Tour. So he most likely bought one or saw it and found an audio file online to rip.
It wasn’t Damon the majority of these samples came from dan the Automator who produced (and for demon days its was dangermouse). That’s why none of the other albums sounded as good as the first two. Was also how Damon managed to get people like del and de la soul on the albums
As a person who plays violins (soon getting a new one) I wanna learn how to play this song but my violin sucks cuz instead of the strings being metal there plastic so they don’t tune WHY THE FRICK WOULD YOU MAKE A VOILIN IN THE FIRST PLACE IF YOU CANT EVEN PLAY IT!? But idk it’s a mediocre sounding kid anyway looks cool tho.
In terms of the animated band, 2D would pick that. In real life, it's Jamie Hewlett, the band's animator, who chose those samples as he's a big fan of classic horror and animation.
@@IvanTube0 Daft Punk + Gorillaz would just be 2 real men pretending to be fake men collaborating with four fake people being played by two real people.
It's worth noting that Long Long Ago, the sample from Left Hand Suzuki Method, is in the second volume of the Suzuki method of teaching beginners string instruments, and the Left Hand of the title refers to the variations on how it's played in the song, normally and short (staccato).
Chris Benson actually, a Left-Hand Suzuki Method is when you hit a bong and play a song without actually knowing how to play it, that's why it has the bong rip at the start
@@tomatosplattersbasscovers371 apparently that sound in the beginning of the song is from russel getting a straw and blowing it through his nose in milk
che or a proper one with Massive Attack :) I wonder if they'll get back some old producers back to do stuff with them again. I'd love to see Gnarles Barkley making their comeback and working with gorillaz. Not sure how Danger Mouse or Damon would feel about that though.
We need more Little Dragon, and I would go to heaven. Even better. Daft Punk and Little Dragon AND Gorillaz on the same track. See that, would be perfection.
Two things you might have missed - In Rhinestone Eyes the "thats electric!" is sampled from a lost gorillaz song called electric shock where it goes "thats electric shock!" Also the main bass of Strobelite seems to be sampled from an old Casio keyboard bassdrum.
I think it's cool that on the first 2 albums Russel was grabbing drum samples from RnB, soul, funk etc records and 2D was picking stuff from electronic albums and zombie movies. It really shows their characters through the music
What I think is interesting is that there was more sampling being done in the early works because it was just Damon and Jamie, as their band progressed to get larger and larger known they were able to work with musicians and use less samples. That's really cool actually
Isn't it because they were less rules about sample at the Time? Because on 80/90's hip-hop, rap, rnb, everybody used sample all the time. Now it's more complicated to do it because you have to Ask for the rights. This is a supposition, my knowledge about music History isn't perfect
@@delireent.3960 there were sampling rules in 2001. it's more because on the first two albums damon worked with outside hip-hop producers- Dan the Automator and Danger Mouse, respectively- who had really sample-based styles. on Plastic Beach he produced himself, and I think since then he's mostly worked either by himself or with Twilite Tone. Because he's no longer working with old-school sample-based hip-hop producers, that feel isn't in the music anymore. but every artist changes over time, I suppose
@@delireent.3960 the rules were always there, it just wasn’t as common knowledge to the public at the time, since the only people who _needed_ to care were label/copyright owners and producers/engineers. If an artist wanted to poach a sample, it would be on the label to go and contact the rights holders of the original and get it cleared - if not, they just didn’t use it and would tell the artist so, or risked potential lawsuits. Paul’s Boutique by the Beastie Boys, released in 1989, had to spend almost $250k in rights and licensing for the samples used, for example. Many hip hop classics and hits of the era did legitimately have their samples cleared - my guess is that they happened with so much regularity, the impression to the public was that sampling was fair game for free use. But with the advent of online streaming and the ease of creating/distributing music (relative to 20 years ago), much more music is getting released without getting their samples cleared, and everyone - from the artist to their audience - has to be much more aware about proper crediting and clearing.
@@delireent.3960 the album came out in 2001, so i highly doubt that. Also gotye and daft punk sampled all the time throughout their careers so still no.
I LOVE when bands title their songs in reference to their samples! Man Research is now my favorite song on that album. I never knew that fun fact about it. Blew my mind!
2:12 This guy is the true memegod. With a name like *John Dankworth* and an album called *modesty blaise* one could imagine him as a rival to the Dogg himself.
I always had a faint thought that Rock the House felt empty and undeveloped, and now I know it's largely because most of the instrumental is a repeated sample. It's still a good enough song, and pretty catchy, but there isn't much to it in comparison to other Gorillaz songs.
My problem with it was mainly the overwhelming vocal features (which I personally found pretty sub par compared to older features on other albums) and lack of Albarn's vocals on most of the tracks. While they always had a revolving door style of membership, it feels more like he was a "feature" on this album compared to the other artists. It still has Gorillaz style in the music, but the features were pretty hard to bear this time for me.
Personally, the Plastic Beach guests are more difficult to digest for me, because even that 2D sings a bit more (48% vs 43%) In Humanz is more homogeneous (3 songs that doesn't sing vs 6 songs in PB).

I see a lot of you seem to be confused regarding the nature of sampling in music, so I want to clear up a few things. (sorry in advance for the walls of text) 1. As far as I am aware, every song that I put in this video contains a sample. Sampling can mean many things and cover a wide array of media. For the first album, most of the samples were in the drums. I've seen a lot of commenters say that these are simply drums that sound similar and that I'm 'reaching', and I have to say that you're wrong. Drum breaks are very common in the type of music that was in Gorillaz's first album, and they aren't the only group to sample those songs. It may sound different than the original, but you have to realize that a lot goes into sampling and good producers know how to bend the sound of the original sample to better fit their vision. You can sample something and have it sound the exact same, sure, but a lot of the times you have to listen a bit closer to find the similarities. Most of these drum samples are from the 60s and 70s, trying to integrate them in a dub/hip-hop genre will obvious result in a bit of tampering.That is the wonders of producing and technology. These are ALL sampled. 2. No, there is no 'Oh Yeah Mr. Krabs' sample in Ascension. That's just Damon screaming. Stop spreading misinformation. 3. A guest vocalist or Damon saying the lyric of an older song in their Gorillaz track from a different artist doesn't equate to sampling it. That is interpolation. So something like the 'Push it real' in Kids With Guns isn't a sample of that Salt n Pepa song. There's a lot of cases like this in Gorillaz but unless it's an exact audio clip taken from the song, it doesn't count as sampling.
+Kirima Nagi course they is no "oh yeah mr krabs" that'd be copyright infringement...how ever AHHHHGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! you ever heard the gorillaz say no to the vids on both ends? hmmm??...
+Kirima Nagi I'm sorry dude, I'm sorry. I just heard a comparison vid on the scream and the resemblance is uncanny, it's far to gone to say no...but right at the edge to say "yes it is the yell". like I said tho the Gs are lowkey on this subject *COUGHS* spongy sample before tho
The Altarf honestly, it bothers the hell out of me that people legitimately think they sound identical. they don't at all. they're two very different sounding screams.
The M1A1 sample will forever stay in my mind, its the reason why i got into gorillaz in the first place bc i heard they that they used a sample from one of my fav zombie movies
I dunno, done properly samples can do a lot. A good usage of samples can turn something old into something completely different done as a celebration of the original content. Paul's Boutique and 3 Feet High & Rising are considered 2 of the greatest hip hop albums of all time by critics and use a TON of samples. Beastie Boys - Ladies uses an estimated 19 samples in a less than 4 minute song.
People ask me why I use sampling so much in my work. I tell them that you write a message with them. That you can create excellent work with them! The endless possibilities for melodies! They tell me that I'm just cheap. That I don't have any real talent. I tell them to listen to Gorillaz. I tell them to listen to Foster the People. To Owl City. To any alternative band. Sampling ain't about being cheap. It's about being creative.
When I was a kid I listened to Slow country while riding with my parents in he car and the wishy sound effects was perfectly synced with the front wind shield wipers during a rainy day. I always thought that’s what the sound was lol
The crowd sample from dare wasnt actually FROM revolution 909, it's just that daft punk also used the sample. The actual sample is called medium excited teenage crows
Holy shit I'm just now realizing I had the exact same interactive planetarium thing as a kid that they used for the sample in Saturnz Barz. What a time to be alive.
Honestly, the way they sample things is amazing and beautiful. I'm so glad you posted this, my dude. They seem to have so much fun with it, and I like learning which parts are from which places.
You forgot Clint Eastwood, which although I don't think is really sample, its instrumental was heavily based off the iconic theme for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Hence the name of the song, "Clint Eastwood" Stylo and Rhinestone Eyes also contain samples from one of Gorillaz' demos: "Electric Shock". Stylo sampling the beat of the song and Rhinestone Eyes sampling the vocals (Elec-tric-tric-tric-tric-tric)
"Who Put the Chemicals in the Food Chain?" in intro is actually from the song "Soldier Boy" by Martina Topley Bird, which contains samples of a scrapped Gorillaz song "Snakes and Ladders"
Can you imagine being from Seattle, buying The Fall and seeing "hey, there's a music dedicated to my city!" only to find out it's just a sample looped?
my fave song is left hand suzuki method because you can literally feel all of the different influences.Now that i know that their samples are so beautiful and different i seem to adore this song even more
as soon as you showed the "sample" for the "click the button to begin" my brain IMMEDIATELY connected the dots. i remember having one of those as a kid!! I can't believe i didn't think of this before!! you're truly doing god's work, thank you
That’s what I’ve been saying! It has my favorite atmosphere, art style, etc. Demon Days would be my second favorite, but something about their first album is just special to me
+Jimbo Hardizzle yet the uploader still bought up an easter egg in the Clint Eastwood video, I doubt bending the rules one more time would do too much harm
When I was little I thought the sound in the beginning of left hand Suzuki method was somebody sipping tea… later in my life much older I was smoking bong with my friends and the song came on and I finally made the connection
I read on Genius that She's My Collar samples Monks by Frank Ocean I was wondering if anyone knows where the sample is cause that's my favourite song by frank
@@stupidwhore8649 it literally says that it samples that song in it's credits on Genius. Don't accuse people of spreading nonsense if you can't click a single button on a website.
What about one of the songs from Plastic Beach where they had someone saying "Where's North from here?" ? Was that a sample or was that one of the guys in the recording booth saying that?
fun fact: revolution 909 sampled stock sound effects for the crowd noises. since the bass drum hits from revolution 909 aren't in the end part of dare, they probably just both used the same stock sound effect
this is mainly just russel taking influence from his favourite drummers
And his favorite breakfasts sandwhich
Hip-Hop samples drumbreaks, it makes sense
and 2d from his fav films
ye
No, it's mainly a pasty Brit recording sped-up parts of old vinyls
They used a yodelling pickle toy... What a way to think outside the box.
And a speaking toy for Saturnz Barz
Daniel Which they took it out of.
And a toy gun in hongkongaton
I live in Seattle where he got that toy. The exact store is called Archie McPhee and they're locally known for selling weird toys. They're also the store behind that weird horse mask from like eight years ago.

Now I know why Rock the House is so dank.

Dank-worth 🙌
Indeed.
lol
I mean, doesnt get more dank than a guy w dank in his name
i think the sampled beats and turntable scratching of the first album is what i miss most when i listen to new gorillaz... that first album and G-Sides had such a gritty underground hip hop flavour that i love
Mickey Valenz yeah ikr
Yes me too
I’d recommend some Blur then if you’re wanting gritty. It’s Damon’s other band. Try Swamp Song or Trimm Trabb, or the famous Song 2
same
Mickey Valenz I agree
Interesting to see Damon's music knowledge from mostly 60s to 90s as well as bizarre stuff like a toy pickle and an space bopit-like game.
The Great Sloth Lord you can find the pickle in Seattle at trinket shops and he made the song while in Seattle for the Plastic Beach Tour. So he most likely bought one or saw it and found an audio file online to rip.
I actually own that space thing
It wasn’t Damon the majority of these samples came from dan the Automator who produced (and for demon days its was dangermouse). That’s why none of the other albums sounded as good as the first two. Was also how Damon managed to get people like del and de la soul on the albums
I'm sure working with a crate digger like Kid Koala on the first album helped a lot. I'm sure he showed Damon a bunch of records to choose from
left hand suzuki method is basically just samples combined into a song
Le Carlton that's what makes the Gorillaz so cool, their ability to pick and choose different sounds and make a kick ass song
Le Carlton That's why it's called "Left Hand Suzuki Method". They're trying to recreate the songs but while they're high.
it's incredible how much it sounds like "modern" lo-fi. you know those kind of songs you find in chill mixes/etc. way ahead of its time!
I love left hand Suzuki method
As a person who plays violins (soon getting a new one) I wanna learn how to play this song but my violin sucks cuz instead of the strings being metal there plastic so they don’t tune WHY THE FRICK WOULD YOU MAKE A VOILIN IN THE FIRST PLACE IF YOU CANT EVEN PLAY IT!?

Seems to me Gorillaz likes zombie movies
Specifically 2D
Shun Dug Yeah that was probably 2Ds contribution
In terms of the animated band, 2D would pick that. In real life, it's Jamie Hewlett, the band's animator, who chose those samples as he's a big fan of classic horror and animation.
Shun Dug Actually a lot of Gorillaz's videos have been inspirated on old horror films
Specifically Romero's Dead trilogy.
I love how they sampled from zombie movies, looney tunes, toys, and commercials

It's worth noting that Long Long Ago, the sample from Left Hand Suzuki Method, is in the second volume of the Suzuki method of teaching beginners string instruments, and the Left Hand of the title refers to the variations on how it's played in the song, normally and short (staccato).
Chris Benson actually, a Left-Hand Suzuki Method is when you hit a bong and play a song without actually knowing how to play it, that's why it has the bong rip at the start

sometimes rewatching the movie and hearing M1A1 play in the back of your brain

ALL THIS LIES ARE A LIE
I'M A LIE!
Did anyone else get chills from this? It blew my mind just how much samples they actually put in. I only knew the sample of Saturnz Barz and a M1A1
Holy shit I'm just now realizing I had the exact same interactive planetarium thing as a kid that they used for the sample in Saturnz Barz. What a time to be alive.
Honestly, the way they sample things is amazing and beautiful. I'm so glad you posted this, my dude. They seem to have so much fun with it, and I like learning which parts are from which places.
John Dankworth? what a great last name!!
0:44 tyler also used that song for Igor's theme
I love diving into the record collection of a music nerd.
I had no idea! that's really cool!
You forgot Clint Eastwood, which although I don't think is really sample, its instrumental was heavily based off the iconic theme for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Hence the name of the song, "Clint Eastwood"
Stylo and Rhinestone Eyes also contain samples from one of Gorillaz' demos: "Electric Shock". Stylo sampling the beat of the song and Rhinestone Eyes sampling the vocals (Elec-tric-tric-tric-tric-tric)
I just got a Gorillaz ad before watching this😂😂
omg 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sheila Swaringer same
How do people get Gorillaz ads!?
@@melancholicvisuals8923 ikr
I WANT GORILLAZ ADS
Damon: i dont sample i create
Also damon:
It's not Damon, it's Gorillaz
@@ФОКУС-ПОКУС-ш4б still being Damon anyways
@@hughs_spfc no
that was his britpop era
I mean, LITERALLY every artist samples. Hell some. Just blatantly plagiarize. Does no one remember the Blurred Lines incident?
now we need a 2001-2020 version
Don Harper/ *_Dank_* Earth
Yeah, I could've sworn it was Dark Earth, but oh well.
Recommend any good hentai with some ahegao in it?
Ahegao Intensifies John *DANK* worth
Ahegao Intensifies i dont like your pfp
"Who Put the Chemicals in the Food Chain?" in intro is actually from the song "Soldier Boy" by Martina Topley Bird, which contains samples of a scrapped Gorillaz song "Snakes and Ladders"
Damon probably had that pickle toy and just sampled it for the fall
Can you imagine being from Seattle, buying The Fall and seeing "hey, there's a music dedicated to my city!" only to find out it's just a sample looped?
The amount of 2000’s that Left Hand Suzuki method is pissing out is awesome. God, i love the 2000’s…
I've been replaying Jet Set Radio lately and their early image and sound is really giving me some JSR vibes.
my fave song is left hand suzuki method because you can literally feel all of the different influences.Now that i know that their samples are so beautiful and different i seem to adore this song even more
man research is one of those songs you would hear in like a bar
or club
as soon as you showed the "sample" for the "click the button to begin" my brain IMMEDIATELY connected the dots. i remember having one of those as a kid!! I can't believe i didn't think of this before!! you're truly doing god's work, thank you
What about the scream in Ascension and the oh yeah mr krabs scream?
Well as far as i know, that scream is by damon himself
Damon actually did that.
I was going to say that xD
*EVERYONE LOVES SUCKING OUT THE FUN OF THAT POTENTIAL SAMPLE*
John Whitworth it's more fun to lie. After all, wouldn't you prefer to be a sample? or are you THAT dead inside?
what's their obsession with the 'Dead' franchise?
2D is a zombie fan
James Wilson the creators said they're zombie and horror movie fans
James Wilson 2-D likes zombie movies
Kenny Fan Stupid......HAHaHaHahahahqhahahgahshsh
GridTV that’s the stupidest analogy i’ve ever heard
12:45
i actually have the pickle for a christmas tree ornament
gorillaz will always be their best album imo.
Demon days is pretty good you have dirty Harry feel good inc and dare and they have a great intro with some good songs in it
@@cooper2205 love demon days too plastic beach was pretty good too
@@nocturnedude3855 love how you were active after 4 years
That’s what I’ve been saying! It has my favorite atmosphere, art style, etc. Demon Days would be my second favorite, but something about their first album is just special to me
@⠀ I know I just am naming the really good ones
Some of these are real reaches but others I really appreciated knowing. Thank you. :D
Curious to hear, which ones do you think are 'reaches'? Thanks for watching either way
2:03 John *Dank* worth
8:11 *Dank* Earth
what about spongebob crying in hallelujah money
Jimbo Hardizzle
well thats disappointing
+Jimbo Hardizzle yet the uploader still bought up an easter egg in the Clint Eastwood video, I doubt bending the rules one more time would do too much harm
Ben Knight that was a fun fact, not part of the actual thing
Jimbo Hardizzle ohhh ok
Jimbo Hardizzle That song... has a music video? Is it official?
When I was little I thought the sound in the beginning of left hand Suzuki method was somebody sipping tea… later in my life much older I was smoking bong with my friends and the song came on and I finally made the connection
Let's be real every nigga here played Long Long Ago in elementary school at least once
The Doncamatic sample made me laughing out loud :D Just awesome. Thx for the video!
Tomorrow Comes Today was a Sample of the Sample
Well i say that because "I Got The Law - Blur (13)"
where exactly ?
ahh this is a breath of fresh air. Something about that old school gorillaz is life
THIS HAS BEEN A EYE OPENER
Yasss I was waiting for left hand suzuki method.
when i put on day of the dead and that intro started i jaw dropped lmaoooo i had read about the sample but it was yrs before
Did you notice that Rock the house sampled a song by John DANKworth
Did you notice that he's dead?
And this is why when i want to hear some hip hop samples i play his first album
I read on Genius that She's My Collar samples Monks by Frank Ocean
I was wondering if anyone knows where the sample is cause that's my favourite song by frank
Yo I love both of those songs! Where in the song does it sample it?
where tf does it sample it- literally looked and it doesnt show that tf ?? guess your just spreading things or sumn💀💀🤦♀️
@@stupidwhore8649 it literally says that it samples that song in it's credits on Genius. Don't accuse people of spreading nonsense if you can't click a single button on a website.
Another reason why GORILLAZ and Daft punk are Bae
PatWizard yea
Bae is Danish or something for "shit".
10:45 this song and album (coincidentally called Dare!) has gotten me through Ireland multiple times
12:40 MURDOC?!?! IS THAT YOU?!?!?!?!
What about one of the songs from Plastic Beach where they had someone saying "Where's North from here?" ? Was that a sample or was that one of the guys in the recording booth saying that?
Ardhamon5000 it was Mark E Smith
I looked in to it and found that out. Yeah it apparently wasn't a sample at all. But still it's interesting to hear the mindset behind these songs.
10:18
Wow, I love both Daft Punk and Gorillaz
an addition: in stylo damon sampled a song by depeche mode - the landscape is changing from the album construction time again (1983)
Damon Albarn sure does love the of the dead movies
fun fact: revolution 909 sampled stock sound effects for the crowd noises. since the bass drum hits from revolution 909 aren't in the end part of dare, they probably just both used the same stock sound effect
Damon said in an interview that he was against sampling but like...
Most of these are just drum beats lol. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with taking a drum beat from others
The catchiest song EVER from the band sampled from a breakfast commercial. I'm very impressed
I would never guess :o How Damon Albarn is making this... I love Gorillaz even more because of how creative they are ! :)
i always thought that the “hellooooooo” in
M1 A1 was just Damon. I didn’t know that it was actually part of the movie.
Great video, you just earned a new subscriber.
This is why I fuckin love Gorillaz, they're unique.
2:29 It sounds like Re-Hash
Seriously though, that pickle thing couldn't have been a coincidence, it's just too perfect because of Murdoc.
