Gorillaz Are Ten - Spotify Radio Show 2 (8)

Okay, next up is Dirty Harry
I always loved this song
A big single for us and another one off our new We Are Ten Gorillaz singles collection
It's funny, this started out as a late-night demo at 2D and that Damon Albarn did
It's something they did together after one of the US gigs that Blurred it in 2003
And ended up morphing into a Gorillaz song for Damon Days
Damon released it first on the album Demo Crazy
But it ended up in my band "Gorillaz" sounding a lot better, I might add

Ah, that's it, that Damon Albarn gets about a bit, doesn't he?
He loves a good rigorous collaboration
I mean, I opened up my cereal this morning
And there he was collaborating with my cornflakes
Although, I must admit, it did sound good if a bit
Well, reflective and melancholic in places
Good bass line there

Here's Fat's Domino with no, no, hang on
Here's Damon Albarn and 2D with I Need A Gun
Have a listen to this because you can hear them kind of trading both the lead
And the backing vocals
They sound very similar in places, don't they?

I need a gun to keep myself from harm
The poor people are burning in the sun
No, they don't stand a chance, they ain't got a chance
Somebody's gun, and all we do is dance
And all we do is dance, and all we do is dance

(Uh, uh-uh)
(Uh, uh-uh)
(Uh, uh-uh)

I need a gun to keep myself among
The poor people are burning in the sun
They ain't got a chance, they ain't got a chance
I need a gun 'cause all I do is dance
