The Big Head is Shaun Ryder, and the name of the song is Dare due to how the Manchester legend (Shaun) pronounced the word There.

Great to hear this on RP (again). One of their best tracks IMHO.

It took me a while to figure out that what's being said was "it's there" (or in this case "it's dare"). I originally thought he was just counting 1, 2 in Japanese--ichi ni

What does a baby polar bear scratching records have to do with pedophiles? This COMMENT is heinous, maybe that's the connection. BTW Bill...I loved that transition from Coming Up for Air to the "It's comin up, it's comin up, it's comin up..." of Dare.

Goddamn! This is good. I like it A LOT, the only song by Gorillaz what I am digging. Thanks RP!

Add roverfish to that list, too, please. I just about capped my knee running for my Razr that wasn't ringing. Decent tune from Mr. Albarn and company.

I thought maybe it was Marvin Gaye meets the Tom Tom Club. I'm not real nutz about the outcome of the meeting.

Gorillaz is Damon Albarn (blur frontman) and guests. Listen to the (self-titled) first album. It had better guests, in my opinion. Helchat wrote:

Yes. Who else could make noise (kind of like words) like that and still sound cool.

Among all the variety, it does not hurt to play a song or two that we have heard other places, as long as they are not overplayed. This, imo, is not. Very enjoyable tune.

This is pure, shout-over-it-to-get-the-bartender's-attention music. Not especially innovative, but still kinda fun.

A pimple on the ass of Blur. An annoying pimple at that. Damon Albarn, thanks for breaking up a great band and forming a mediocre one.

This is the first tune from this album that I like. Maybe it's the Bunnymen or the Hoover that set the scene...

Sorry, my colleagues at work can't help nodding... This guy, Albarn really made it... hide behind cartoons, no interviews, no flashes... just Paradise! (RP follows that same principle?)

For band member details and a fun take on the band see the wiki page : here "Actual Members" further down tells you all about the who is and who is not ;) Oh, and here too ...an even more detailed list ;)

Damn it Bill! I thought my cellphone was ringing, this is my RINGTONE! ...kindly stop playing it forthwith, or at the very least attach a *warning for cagey* ;) Great tune, I heard a funny story from the producer (I think) who said Sean Ryder turned up at the studio and they recorded him doing his stuff which mostly was, urm not really cohearant. However, they noticed later, that when listened back to the recordings at the beginning of the session, during the process of getting his voice level right he said clearly "its comin up, its comin up, its comin up, it's dare..."

'Tis a shame. BBC 6 Music's over-rotation and Shaun Ryder's annoying voice was enough to ruin it for me. Has a nice beat too.

The reason I stick with RP is that they love to throw in the electro-funk when I'm not paying attention. Groovy as always!

Probably the worst track on the album. I'd much rather hear El Manana (or whatever it's called, the track that comes after Feel Good).
