 The rap is actually pretty cool...short and brief see the video here:

It's very retro-funky,sounding like it's from the early 80s.On their official site,one of the bandmembers describes it as "part "Billie Jean",part Rockwell" and that kinda sums it up.The lead singer's vocals sound like a sample from an old 70s hit,but I don't think it is.The song also includes a rap from De La Soul,which gives it a "modern" feel.I love the drums and the bass.I think you would dig this track. Yeah, it's got a drum and bass vibe going on.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

But I know where the laughing is from. Do you remember those really awful, scary "wrinkled apple" looking faces that people would hang on thier walls? My friend's parents had two of them a long time ago. They looked like really old men and you would pull a string by their chin, and they would start laughing.  That horrible cackle.
Having nightmares now. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

Because I'm having flashbacks now.
Now I'm listening to "Don't Get Lost in Heaven" from the album and I swear at the very end it's a sample of Jill Jones' voice from "Violet Blue". But I'm probably wrong. There are already some female vocals on there, so it's probably the same woman.
edit to say that this album is really growing on me now. I didn't like it at first actually. "Every Planet We Reach is Dead" reminds me of The Doors.  [Edited 10/25/05 5:22am] "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |

| I'm gladd you finally found this song, David. I enjoy both the Gorillaz albums.
I'm happy to see that I'm not alone on wishing that Feel Good whould die down a bit so 'Dare' can get it's due. That's a DAMN fine track! | |

This album caught me immediately. Usually when that happens I get bored with it quickly, but that hasn't happened yet. It has actually grown on me even more since I picked it up... | |

When I first listened to it, I was disappointed that I only liked two songs on it. But just since this thread started, I have been listening to it more and now it's really growing on me. There are still a couple of songs though that I don't like."I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
