Don't Stop.. Get it .. Get it... It's pretty amazing.

"I could speculate as to the meaning of the lyrics of "Feel Good, Inc." by the Gorillaz, but I haven't put much thought to it because I don't care. The sound and arrangement of this song are so inventive that it's just a treat to listen to it. Analyzing it would just spoil it.
Nine months after first hearing this song as part of an Ipod commercial, I still enjoy it as much now as I did then. When it comes on the radio, I turn the volume up; I will repeat it when it comes up on my play list on my Ipod; and I will make everyone shut up and listen when the video pops up on MTV.
The opening track of hysterical laughter immediately signals this will be a different type of song. 2-D's (one of the members of this animated band) monotone lyrics amid a thumping bass guitar leave one unprepared for the loftier chorus, the amazing guitar interlude, and certainly not for the secondary rap chorus provided by hip-hop masters De La Soul. The mixture is the most eclectic since Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" and is mature and memorable. "Feel Good, Inc." is a song that should not just be listened to, but rather, experienced.

Feel Good Inc

"If this is the correct single I'm thinking of, it comes not only with Feel Good Inc, but Murdoc Is God, Bill Murray, and Spitting Out The Demons, all of which are rare songs. As for it's meaning, the tower represents a dystopic society in shambles, and the windmill represents innocence and freedom from that society.
2-D's lyrics really bring the song together, and Noodle's acoustic riff on the second chorus is awe-inspiring. Gorillaz did a GREAT job with FGI overall; couldn't of hit the nail on the head any better."
