Gnarls Barkley

Anyone know why Gnarls Barklet wore those uniforms for their Grammy performance? I have watched every post interview and couln't catch them. Most say that it was a anti war statement, but the uniforms were not military.

They always dress in costumes from movies when they perform live.

This was their ode to the movie Airplane.

They have also done,

Eyes Wide Shut
Star Wars
Waynes World
Big Lebowski
Zorro

just to name a few.

Ok that 'splains it. All this time I thought they were just some crazy dressers. The pilot thing got my attention.

Thanks

I love the Gnarles/Cee-lo album, but the performances are too over-the-top for my tastes. They just try too hard.

love that version they did on the Grammy's
they did it like that on that deluxe edition of the album
it was a bonus track
