Superfast Jellyfish
Gorillaz · The Singles Collection: 2001-2011 [2011]
(Look, it comes with a toy, I like that)
I wanna number 4, number 6, and throw in a plastic donut
Just enjoy the gritty crunch that tastes just like chicken
Rappers of many bite sizes (Man are you freaking blind it's a rock)
All mixed in the pot full
Mumma's homemade from scratch but not quite
Toasted over flames they be tasting quite right
All hail King Neptune and his water-breathers
No snail thing too quick for his water-feeders
Don't waste time wit'cha net, our net worth is set,
Ready go, many know others but
We be the colours of the mad and the wicked,
We be bad, we re-brick it with the 24 hours sign
Shower mine habits while you dine like rabbits
With the crunchy, crunchy carrots (Oh that's chicken)
Gotta have it superfast
Superfast, superfast, I come in last
But just in time for breakfast
Keep us through, keep us through, whatever blue
The night, the night, throws at us
Aluminium, I crush for fun, aluminium,
The sea is radioactive, the sea is radioactive.
All hail King Neptune and his water-breathers
No snail thing too quick for his water-feeders
Don't waste time wit'cha net, our net worth is set,
Ready go, many know others but
We be the colours of the mad and the wicked,
We be bad, we re-brick it with the 24 hours sign
Shower mine habits while you dine like rabbits
With the crunchy, crunchy carrots (Oh that's chicken)
Gotta have it superfast
Superfast, superfast, I come in last
But just in time for breakfast
Keep us through, keep us through, whatever blue
The night, the night, throws at us
Aluminium, I crush for fun, aluminium,
The sea is radioactive, the sea is radioactive.
Superfast jellyfish (repeated)
Don't waste time
Everybody loves jellyfish (repeated)
Superfast Jellyfish
Released in 2001, "Superfast Jellyfish" stands as a defining track in the Gorillaz catalogue, blending electronic pop with a distinct indie-rock sensibility. The song features a memorable, repetitive melody and lyrics that explore themes of emotional detachment and the fleeting nature of relationships. It was originally recorded for the band's debut album, "Demon City" (2001), though it gained significant traction when included in the compilation "The Singles Collection: 2001-2011." The track showcases the group's signature collaborative approach, with contributions from members of the band and guest vocalists, creating a sound that bridges the gap between digital innovation and organic instrumentation. Its enduring popularity highlights the band's ability to craft anthemic songs that resonate across generations, cementing their status as pioneers of virtual pop culture.
