"DoYaThing" is a single by British alternative rock virtual band Gorillaz, featuring LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy and André 3000 of Outkast. The single was released on 23 February 2012. It was commissioned by Converse as a part of their "Three Artists. One Song" project, where three artists collaborate on a track. The song is also the starting point for a limited edition Chuck Taylor All-Stars collection designed by Gorillaz artist Jamie Hewlett. The shoe designs feature artwork from other projects related to Gorillaz. It was released in two versions: the approximately 4-and-a-half-minute radio edit and the explicit 13-minute version. The former was released as a free download on Converse's website, while the latter was released for streaming on Gorillaz's website.
The video for "DoYaThing" was directed by Jamie Hewlett and was released on 29 February 2012. The video uses a mix of 2-dimension and CGI characters combined with live-action footage. The house used for filming is 212 Hammersmith Grove, in Hammersmith, West London.
The music video opens with a video of a crocodile scaring a herd of antelope. It then cuts to a scene where 2-D wakes up and changes clothes in 212 Wobble Street, London, SW21 7QJ. He exits his room and checks another one, finding another band member, Noodle, fast asleep. After that, he looks in a bathroom and finds a masked figure representing André 3000, surrounded by light blue-skinned "sweat collectors." Disgusted, 2-D looks into another room that turns out to be shrouded in complete darkness with the sounds of sheep, chickens, and a man crying, which refers to a Motorola commercial in which band member Murdoc appeared. Murdoc then scares 2-D by popping up in the room. He proceeds to go down the stairs using a stair lift as 2-D goes to the living room as the "Doncamatic" submarine makes a cameo appearance behind him, and finds a previous character from the third album Plastic Beach named the Boogeyman reading a newspaper (while the "Dare" music video plays on the TV). He opens a cabinet down in the kitchen and finds the masked figure stuffed inside it. Calmly shutting the door on him, he cooks toast and puts it on his plate along with, without realizing, a human ear from a bowl of them near the toaster. 2-D then opens a refrigerator and finds the masked figure stuffed inside it, giving 2-D a carton of milk and a jam jar. At the dining table, he reads a fictional newspaper comic entitled The Gorillaz, showing comics called "The Funnies," which features a comic of Murdoc hugging 2-D. Having finally finished descending the stairs, Murdoc goes up to 2-D and hits him with a Gorillaz Converse shoe, unlike the comic. 2-D decides against eating the toast upon realizing it has an ear on it, turns off the radio (which also cuts the song), and leaves the house while Murdoc starts a transmission from his radio station, playing the intro to the Gorillaz song "5/4". Once outside, he receives a notice of eviction from a baboon mailman representing James Murphy and smiles, looking relieved. The car from the music video of "Stylo" is "parked" outside. The camera points up, revealing a still-giant Russel sleeping on the roof of the house and the remains of the windmill island (nicknamed "The Slowboat") from the "Feel Good Inc." and "El Mañana" music videos floating in the sky.

What did you just watch? A shoe commercial. This was an add for Converse shoes of all things. The bleats from Murdoc's room were a call back to his Motorola phone commercial where he appears naked & playing the piano in the alps surrounded by sheep and goats. Its terrifying!

I'm not sure any of that information makes that video make sense... and 😱 WTF even is that kinds of beasti-ality crazy 90's BS crack induced video was that!!??

[@the_rat_KING1372]

Simple explanation: this is basically just a a typical morning for Gorillaz post-phase 3. This video is actually not canon as of phase 4 releasing, as within the context of phase 4 and later phases this video doesn't really fit on the timeline.

Thank you for that explanation. It helped situate some things for me. This one was... hu? LOL
