Song of the Summer 'Dare' by the Gorillaz


This ditty featuring Shaun Ryder is definitely THE hit of the summer chez nous.

To decribe it - lead vocal is in prissy falsetto by ex-child prodigy poshboy Albarn which is then sang over by Ryder in his Manc council house monotone. Underscoring this is a jingle reminsicent of the one in 'Good, Bad, and the Ugly'.
Lyrics if you want to sing along while you fry food etc

GORILLAZ
DAREIt's coming upIt's coming upIt's coming upIt's coming upIt's DAREIt's DARE

You got to press it on youYou just protect[?] itThat's what you do, babyHold it down, DAREJump with the moon and move itJump back and forthIt feels like you would let yourself work it outNever did no harmNever did no harmIt's DAREIt's coming upIt's coming upIt's coming upIt's coming upIt's coming upIt's DAREIt's DARE
Noticed from the Jamie Hewlett artwork that one is wearing a kepi - at least someone is remebering the Crimea
