The guy was saying “it’s there” but his accent made it sound like “it’s dare”. Damon liked it better as dare so it stuck.

[mufasa]

Yeah “Noodle” is the female gorilla…the other 3 are males….

[yournamehere]

It's basically a solo project from Damon Albarn of Blur, and animation character design from Jamie Hewlett. The rest are a rotating cast of guest stars--De La Soul, Del tha Funkee Homosapien, and others. In this song, the man was Shaun Ryder from the UK band Happy Mondays, with Rosie WIlson.

[TheChick]

This is a great song. They have so many others, this is a rabbit hole that's totally worth it! One song that doesn't get checked out much from Demon days is "Fire coming out of the monkeys head" so unique!

[Dnote]

Also, sorry for making another comment, "Stylo" is another great song by them. It's even got Mos Def as a guest. It's damn good.

The guy saying 'It's Dare' is Shaun Ryder from 'The Happy Mondays'. They were a big band from Manchester in the 90s. You should listen to 'Kinky Afro' or 'Step On' from 'The Happy Mondays'. The person singing is actually a guy. It's Damon Albarn (front man of 'Blur' and 'The Gorillaz'). Blur were a huge Brit-Pop band (also from the 90s). Blur have a large catalogue of music you could wade through too. :) ***Edit*** It is also a woman singing on the track. Her name is Rosie Wilson (another guest on the track) ... I'd always thought it was just Damon with some effects (every day is a school day).

The Legend that is Shaun Ryder.... definitely need to check out The Happy Mondays- 24 hour Party people, Step Up, Kinky Afro to name a few . Shaun and the Mondays were influential in the Madchester scene and vital in both Factory records and the Hacienda. A real rock n roll story from dosing pigeons with E to blowing there recording budget on weed and brown in Jamaica, crashing their jeep. Had the pleasure of meetings Shaun when I was working nextdoor to his house and met his Dad and brother a few times at gigs in Manchester in the 90s

The musician behind Gorillaz (Damon) is also the lead singer in a band called Blur. Their biggest song (in the US anyway) is called Song 2. You should look it up, you might recognise it!

Noodle is a girl, she's roughly 13 in the Dare video. She's also the youngest member of the band as a whole. with Murdoc being around 40 at the time of the video, 2-D in his low-mid 30's, and Russel in his mid 30's. She's also the only regular female member of the band (not counting her android duplicate "Robo-Noodle" from the Plastic Beach album.

Every character and the animated band itself has a super rich back story and it's crazy. It's like a whole anime that we only get glimpses of. Damon (the music guy) and Jamie (the illustrator) are geniuses.

basically Damon and Jamie make a general storyline or theme up, then Damon goes in the studio and writes all these awesome songs, and he and the producer of the album get lots and lots of guest artists, like the girl in this song, and make tons of songs and ideas and then find which stuff fits best with the original concepts they had, and then they make videos to go with it. That's why you'll hear lots of guest singers and rappers and such.

There are videos on YouTube explaining the entire storyline of the animated band and it's a whole rabbit hole.

(Mmmhmhm clears throat)
He is actually saying "It's There" but his brit'ish accent is so thick it comes out Dare. So they called it that on the Album. Ha! Love it That detached head has his own band too...Happy Mondays. His name is Shaun Ryder. ✌️

[alastairmcintyre]

The " talking head " is the magnificent Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays - who BTW is actually singing " IT'S THERE " not It's dare

[bobdonovan]

Always admire the artistic angle they come from. Putting a football helmet on her to show playful innocence? Where does that come from? But it works...

[TheFairyintheFishBowl]

We definitely danced to this at clubs in the 2000’s - it was fantastic!!! Great memories! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔥🥰

[patjackson]

Gorillaz have featured many female artists with them including Nenah Cherry, Tina Weymouth, the mighty Mavis Staples, Fatoumata Diawara, Carly Simon… one song you should check out is Charger, which features the legend Grace Jones

[sinnirr]

Wow... getting into the eclectic music now... Gorillaz is an amazing group though!

[kittenklub]

GOTTA LOVE SHAUN RYDER!!!! (the head) He's a f**kin legend in the UK - He was the lead singer of The Happy Mondays - they exploded onto the 'BritPop' scene in the 90's and TOOK OVER! Mainly because of good toons, Bez (their 'dancer' - another legend!) and the undeniable amount of drugs they consumed! 🤪 If you think Ozzy Osbourne has some hard-core drug stories, you should hear Shaun's - it is a MIRACLE that he survived & is still alive today. Their song 'Step On' coined 2 catch phrases in the UK - "You're twistin my melon man" & "Call the cops"🤣 You should listen to 'Step On' and their classic 'Kinky Afro' - both from their album 'Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches' - YOU'LL LOVE 'EM! (PS, DARE was originally called 'THERE', but Shaun's northern accent, meant his pronunciation was ‘dare' - so the and changed the title!)

REACT TO GORILLAZ - 'STYLO' NEXT - brilliant video! Gorillaz are a trip - their whole concept - even their 1st concerts were animated projections! They're UK based and even we didn't know who the band members were for a while. Most of their stuff is chilled, funk, trip hop, rap/rock, but their videos are always second level and SOOOO creative. The main singer is Damon Albarn from a band called 'Blur' that were big in the 90's as part of the 'BritPop' scene. He was the only permanent member of Gorillaz with other members coming and going and loads of guest artists. Check out them at Glastonbury when Snoop comes out and raps on Clint Eastwood - audience members mind blown!🤯🤣 (traditionally intoxicated on whatever to make 'em 'Feel Good')

[betteryourlife]

This whole album is great! I listened to it over and over when I was 17.

[Tampahop]

Please listen to Gorillaz 19-2000. You'll get to hear Noodle again and maybe you'll get the cool shoe shine. 😁
