Maybe YouTube was taking a dump when you were trying to watch it, Zifnab, but it's not dead for me, at least for now.


In reply to this comment by Zifnab:
*dead unfortunately

why does he sound like cee-lo?

because it is cee-lo

gnarls barkley = cee-lo + dj danger mouse

Even though the design was inspired by the original Gnarls Barkley animation, the execution on this one deserves an ART invocation.

Clever.

http://www.videosift.com/video/Gnarls-Barkley-Crazy-Official for the original music video if you haven't seen it before.

amazing band. one of my early favorites of theirs. I wonder how many other people don't know who actually wrote this song with the gnarles barkley cover out there..

Wow... I totally didn't know that the Gnarls Barkley was a cover. Sometimes those covers sneak up on me...

The marimba sounds really cool.

Hmm, well, maybe it will help. I mean, I adore Gnarls Barkley, but it does look just about like every other pimp video out there...until you get to the sock puppets. I mean...wtf? It's hilarious!

Sorry, I missed your post, would've definitely upvoted had I seen it.

This is a video of the collaboration of MF Doom (a video of his work, here on VideoSift) and Danger Mouse (a video of his work, is here on VideoSift and also a list here) to form DangerDoom. There's also a really funny Public Service Announcement / infomercial parody video (to promote the album) on YouTube aswell. As Metal Faced Doom (who has more pseudo-names than anyone else I've ever known!) always performs in a mask, as a protest to the over-use of image & marketing in music; I guess that this song is about that fashion accessory he loves so much...

A short explanation/further example of Danger Mouse's (the guy behind Gnarls Barkley) project can be found in this video on YouTube. Essentially, it's an amazing 'mash-up' or remixing of The Beatles White Album and Jay-Z's Black Album (I know: he's a much better crack dealer than he is a person/musician/lyricist, but it's actually quite good). The Grey Album (Danger Mouse's entire project) was the most downloaded music ever on the internet (much to the dismay of the record companies attempting to make a profit from his hard work).

P.S. The video is worth a watch alone - no-where else can you find Ringo scratching vinyl or The Beatles break-dancing!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

Though I gotta say, that Gnarls Barkley/Psycho mash-up sounds sweeeeet. Would definitely find a home here. ;-)

The singer is R&B man Cee-Lo and the svengali on piano is Dangermouse. Together they form Gnarls Barkley. The album is St. Elsewhere, and was released a couple of days ago. I love this band, and hope that the'll help rekindle a greater interest in R&B music in the mainstream.

Gnarls Barkley is a musical collaboration between Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo. Their first album, St. Elsewhere, was released by Warner Music on April 24, 2006 in the UK and is set to be released May 9 in the US by Atlantic/Downtown Records.

"Crazy", their first single, has been played on BBC Radio 1 by Trevor Nelson, and Zane Lowe, since late 2005. It was made Record of the Week by Jo Whiley and Scott Mills and also Weekend Anthem by both Sara Cox and Spoony. The song gained some of its popularity due to the use of it on primetime Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe's television advert, and it was also made Record of the Week by Ken Bruce of BBC Radio 2. It was released as a single on April 3, 2006, preceded by its release as digital download and 12" vinyl single in March 2006. On 2 April, 2006, it became the first ever UK #1 based on download sales alone.[1]

In an interview with Observer Music Monthly, Danger Mouse denied that the band's name is a reference to basketball player Charles Barkley, saying "Nope. It's just like everything else on this record. There was no conscious decision about stuff."[2]

They are set to appear at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 30, 2006,[3] as well as at Lollapalooza 2006 in Chicago.

Also the album has a kick ass Violent Femmes cover of Beautiful Girl on it.
