Gorillaz Clint Eastwood Music Video (cite fair use)
"Clint Eastwood" is Gorillaz' debut single, released off their self-titled album Gorillaz in March 2001. It peaked at the #4 in the UK and #57 in the US.
The video is animated. It starts with the Gorillaz logo in red against a black screen, and the following quote from the movie Dawn Of The Dead: "Every dead body that is not exterminated, gets up and kills. The people it kills, get up and kill" in Japanese then in English. This phrase was deemed offensive in some countries and a censored video was produced that omits this intro.
The band is seen playing their music against a completely white backdrop. Russel's cap then begins to mysteriously rise on its own, and the ghost of Del appears to emerging from under it. He begins to rap, leaving the Gorillaz dumbfounded, and the backdrop at this point is that of a cemetary. Del then begins to summon enormous tombstones to burst out of the ground, as it begins to rain. Shortly afterwards, zombie gorillas rise up from the ground. Murdoc flees at the sight of them, with a number of them pursuing after him. He then turns and glares at them, as if out of frustration by his inability to escape, and the zombie apes engage in a bizarre dance routine before Murdoc is finally struck back. Noodle is then shown joyfully skipping along, almost as if she is completely unaware of her surroundings, and in her playful skipping, she delivers a hard kick to one of the zombie gorillas in the face. Immediately afterwards, for some inexplicable reason, Del is then sucked back into Russel's head and the gorillas all disintegrate, and the band members are left standing in the cemetary, now bright and sunny. The video then concludes with a split screen showing each of the four band members and their names.
