#12 Sweepstakes - Gorillaz - Plastic Beach

[Zigeunerweisen20]

When I first heard this song, I thought it was shit. Then all of the horns kicked in. By the third time I heard it, it became one of my favorites on the album.

[twewyy]

WARNING: WHAT EVER YOU DO, DO NOT PUT THIS SONG ON THE 2X SPEED SETTING, IT HAS BEEN PROVEN TO LEAD TO SPONTANEOUS HEAD EXPLOSIONS. STAY SAFE.

[ReginaldMaulding]

totally underrated track. Shit is so hot.

[stoneyj024]

this should have been in hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy... dimensional fluxes are in order

[jmanre7]

Thay have done it live

[stoneyj024]

i don't know specifically why, but i think if they make a music video for this mos def should be portrayed as a fly muppet rollin around some abstract setting

[vXEverBeardXv]

@GaiaOnlineGirl100 your comment has offended me!!!!!!!

[indiancowboy1900]

I wanna see Mos Def and the Gorillaz do this live

[R1gGErs333]

my girlfriend said she hated Gorillaz

i broke up with her

joking

shes dead.

[rambosantoni]

@R1gGErs333 it was funny the first 3 times but this time its starting to get annoying

[ASVHI]

@R1gGErs333 thats just fucking hysterical

[StarsksyHype]

I've always liked this song.. wtf

[GaiaOnlineGirl100]

I USE CAPS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION

Now that I have your attention:

STOP ARGUING AND LISTEN TO THE MUSIC!

I'm sorry but seriously? The arguments don't even relate to music

Oh and I have another thing to add; To you people who don't like Gorillaz and their music, GO LISTEN TO WHAT YOU LIKE INSTEAD OF TROLLING ON GORILLAZ.

I'm sorry but seriously. I see a lot of Gorillaz trolls now. Kind of sad they rather troll than listen to music they'd like.

[GaiaOnlineGirl100]

@GaiaOnlineGirl100 P.S: I apologize if anyone got offended while reading my message. This message wasn't supposed to actually offend anyone, it was just to prove some good points. Hope you all understand what I'm trying to say 'cause I'm not looking forward to having many people pissed off at me for this message.

[viperattack100]

@KECKOZI I'm done, this is stupid. Why argue over pointless comments? My reply was unnecessary and idiotic, so drop the subject! Just chill and listen to gorillaz

[ThePodeszwa]

gorrillaz moth****cka theuy are gods my favourite band luv!

[24CrazyRock]

SweetpsTaaaakeeees! HEY! :D

[fruitegable]

IT JUST GETS SO FUNKY

youra winna

[futterwoman]

this song makes me so happy. SWEEPSTAKES! you're a winna.

[viperattack100]

I used to make stupid comments on youtube, the I took an arrow to my internet box!

[KECKOZI]

@viperattack100 that wasn't very good. It was pretty shitty to be honest. It seems like you still are making stupid comments on YouTube.

[viperattack100]

@KECKOZI Dont give a shit, freedom of speech mothafucka! If you dont want to hear me, ignore me. Now shut up and continue fucking ur sister!

[KECKOZI]

@viperattack100 you seem mentally unstable to get so fucking worked up about it. And I don't even have a sister. How about you continue buttering up ur 36th bacon and cheese sandwich u fat lonely fuck. My comeback isn't good, but it's better than your inbred close minded comeback.

[KECKOZI]

@viperattack100 oh and btw how can i hear you over comments?

[DoThaWork]

41 people are not the winner

[twewyy]

I took an arrow to the knee, but then I won the sweepstakes.

[jimmypedlow]

@twewyy I used to make skyrim jokes on Youtube but then I took a vagina to the penis

[StalkingRainbow]

@jimmypedlow I used to take vagina to the penis, but then I took an arrow in the penis.

[thepatriot5000]

holy crap if you listen to this and you whistle yourself at like 4:40 to the end it's freaking amazing just whistling along with the music... i can't describe how awesome it is

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@thepatriot5000 Find your self an instrument my good friend ^_ ^

[thepatriot5000]

@AngrypunkNaysayer haha yeah i play the tuba :) it would be great if someone could figure out the brass ensemble part in this song; I would get the marching band to play it at football games next year

[wendysdrivethrudude]

2D's-room-at-plastic-beach music is good for the mind. Make it happy.

[fruitegable]

I like hearing him go SWEEEEEEPSTAAAKES

[stormybondingoz]

The only time I would enjoy this song is on an acid trip.

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@stormybondingoz :/

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

you say your a winner ok well lets see

[thisdenisdirty]

"Sweeeeepstakes!

Marijuana!"

[ThexOriginalxGoose]

@thisdenisdirty not to bring you down or anything but its "youre a winner" not "marijuana" just sayin'..

[HonEpicKills]

2:25-5:19 Epicness

[itsBIGbouncedawg]

LOL is this serious ?

[Lobstaarr]

lol

"SWEEEPSTAAAAAAAAAAAAKES"

[fbmaniac27]

Prolly my least favorite track on plastic beach but still nice

[iluvdrakeandjosh]

lol i don't care what it;s about of if it has less meaning or what the fuck ever than there other songs. Him saying "sweeeepstaaaaaaakes" makes this song for me. So fun to just sing along with.

[luke4djojo]

Best track on PB.

[reknae]

Sweet steakssss!!!!!!!

[pedrosdun]

this song is SO ahead of its time, its silly

[TheAshanti10]

sweet steaks :D

[littlbigtree]

Weirdass song, but I still love the 3/4 beat of the backgrounds, and the differing lyrics. They contrast to each other in just the right way.

[esepablo19]

anyone else notice a mistake at 0:47

[yayshe]

@esepablo19 I wouldn't say it's a mistake.

[esepablo19]

@yayshe what else would you call it?

[AdvancedGUI]

The verses are pretty good, but if I hear "you're a winnah" one more damn time...

[luke4djojo]

Best track of the album, I dare to say.

Someone have the instrumentals?

[GeoMcEvan]

talk about a song you hate at first that grows on you

[ashugtiwari]

what is sweepstakes???

[GeoMcEvan]

@ashugtiwari the arcade or the lottery, if you watch the stylo, they pass a sign reading 'sweepstakes'

[ailm96094]

@ashugtiwari sweepstakes about being nark...

[CarlosMantooth]

Talk about eargasm.

[HarrisonLaine12]

If I had tourettes, I would be saying the title of this song over and over again.

[LordMoonie]

I'd like to say, that if you have enough time to hate on the Gorillaz, you have enough time to go listen to something else instead. <3 You forever Gorillaz

[reknae]

happy 45th birthday Murdoc, my satanic sex-god!<33

[Atheneastro]

@reknae That's funny. Murdoc is 45, and his voice actor is 54! Phil Cornwell is 9 years older than his character!

[reknae]

@Atheneastro

Its not that weird. He has one heck of a voice though:) which is funny, since he looks kinda like an over-boiled potato x)

[Atheneastro]

@reknae Damn right he does; he's not an attractive man, but yes, he does have one heck of a voice. Whenever he's Murdoc or Launcelot (in King Arthur's Disasters), I get a small eargasm.

I saw him in Hotel Trubble this morning, and he was the only one in the entire awfully-written episode who came close to being funny.

[reknae]

@Atheneastro

haha:P

Waaaait, you're that guy who replied to my comment on the Gorillaz/Madonna Feel Up video!

[cdouce34]

33 ppl are never winnas

[wazzuphomies4me]

SWEEPSTAKESSSS!!!

[LuisDivision]

swag

[Kingopersia]

33 people didn't win

[MrRedEspiritu]

Once a word is over used, the word will look strange...

[BlackDemon4STORY]

nice!! (Y)

[JSFER2]

first gorillaz song i didn't like, sounds a lot like new style rap.

[scarface69enator]

@JSFER2

Sounds nothing like new rap.

Mos Def is the king of poetry

[JSFER2]

@scarface69enator when his voice is mixed with this beat I think it does, his other songs don't, but this does to me for some reason.

[Whatsinmypocket]

@JSFER2 They've always been this way, poser.

[JSFER2]

@Whatsinmypocket no, their other songs feature rappers that i like much more, like del and mf doom. Sorry thought about not masturbating to the gorillaz and being a poser.

[1Musicalkid]

Best song 2 play wiff In Mortal Kombat 9

[maccky7498]

CORN FLAKES!!!

[Ginga]

My favorite rapper and my favorite animated band. Gotta love it!

[mymusicjeter]

There're a lot of mistake in this song when he rap, he do a lot of wrong line.

But rap always try to overdub their vocals.

Grat song though.

[jjja494]

@mymusicjeter Read the wiki. He did this entire song in 1 take. That may be why.

[cogy339]

is that mos def?

[ZanaferionGamer]

@cogy339 Yep.

[ThisbyBooks]

@cogy339 Yeah, I think so.

[Agakroete45]

wish i could play trumpet like that

[santonegro619]

the song reminds me of King Tubby and Scientist dubb reggae songs

[RATMfan92]

@santonegro619 LOL HOW IS THAT? Though i love them and dub reggae in general :)

[NexusTK]

Doesn't sound much like a Gorillaz song. Thats not to say its not good though

[pedrosdun]

I'm not sure the average idiot can absorb this song. Dangah BEATS!

[RichieN64]

Haha who cares if 30 people disliked this, in fact who cares who liked it? All I care about is that I like it!

[AngrypunkNaysayer]

@RichieN64 ..well put : ) 

[kingtophe009]

I love this song so much. On my first listens to this album this song always threw me off in a bad way, but it's grown on me so much. The shifting tempo, the lyrics, the hypnotic brass band, it's just such a good song.

Perfect song progression IMO.

[joessteelers]

the 29 people who disliked this are assholes



[ReginaldMaulding]

Most mindblowing track on the album hands down.

[TheBatWingedPrincess]

@missoshea16 its on the Gorillaz website. Just search it up, click on it, than click on plastic beach in the top left hand corner. Its basically a game where you do stuff on plastic beach.

[Atheneastro]

@TheBatWingedPrincess Like saving Murdoc?

[kidrael]

bes song from album...

[SchizyNeko]

They don't call it "Hypnotic" Brass for nothing...

[jatahaxe]

I've never heard a song this bad from an album this good.

[Krayorik2point0]

@jatahaxe What about glitter freeze? Though that at least had a good beat.

[jatahaxe]

@Krayorik2point0 Really? Glitter Freeze was epic, like something you hear in a rave party. The whole album is good except for Sweepstakes, it just doesn't belong on the album

[Krayorik2point0]

@jatahaxe Meh. To be honest, the only songs I liked off this album were the singles, but whatever :P

[reknae]

@jatahaxe

I totally agree!

[GarlandFraser]

so who's the weird gas masked creature in plastic beach???

[flyingpiggyprincess]

@GarlandFraser the boogieman. made of all the evils there is in the world. D:

[kurukururock]

So I had the first *good* high last night...and this song was playing while I was on cloud nine. Just...amazing.

[TheBatWingedPrincess]

@ShortGunWedding me either!! haha

[ITouchAppWorld]

Lol when I frist heard this song, I thought it was the black eyed peas.

[godeedeedee]

I'm not someone who listens to much rap at all, I'm a rock guy, Led Zeppelin and Muse are my favorites; but almost everything Damon Albarn does, I love.

This is a crazy jam. The brass section is sick.

[godeedeedee]

[TheHomesickKiwi]

CAN YOU SAY POLYRHYTHM?

[travske]

this song is absolutely fucking rubbish, i would rather eat my own shit than listen to this, and i loved gorilla

[hukeeb]

@travske

I couldn't agree anymore. thank you. this is the worst song off of the worst album by an AMAZING group. I don't know where they went wrong with this album, but it makes me sad. aside from a few good songs (like melancholy hill) this whole album fucking sucks

[kwizz321]

@hukeeb you know what, youra youtaube h8tr and you need to take that dump you got inside of you mister... you need to take it right now b4 it devours your gorillaz loving soul....the path your taking looks very gloom sir, and i dont like it...you need a therapist or sumthin becuz u obviously smoke too much crack man sir r whoevah u are....P.S. i gotta admitt........................­..............................­.........screw u and yurr cult ( o) ,,,,,, (o ) ill rape yur soul

[hukeeb]

@kwizz321 Cult?!? what the fuck are you talking about?

[Krayorik2point0]

@hukeeb I like about 1/3 of this album, but everything else was terrible. And there are people who think that this album was better than demon days!

P.S.- what were the other songs you liked?

[coltonconley]

@travske so what happened when u finished eating shit u realized how fucking retarted you are?

[ToniHedley]

AIM HIGH WHY NOT

[coolidgejosiah]

MOS DEF.

[pedrosdun]

This song is rediculous..

..ly good.

[TonyBarksWB]

The ingenious thing about the song is the combination of both 3/4 and 4/4 measures that overlay. Albarn is a genius

[2Dswife459]

i swear first time i heard this was at the gorillaz concert i didnt have the album ( still dnt >.<) n im like.....HOLD UP! lmao

[ConbiDesignsHD]

Isn't this the BEST song ever? I'm raping the replay button.

[mystikXgoddess]

27 people are not winners. 

[lukechandlerrules]

[Razeluxe01]

hated this song when I first listened. listened again for some reason. listened again, tapping foot. Now I fucking sing along. ALL THEIR SONGS I don't like do this to me.

[birdiaction]

This song is so amazing, I can't stop listening to it!!!!!

[Crayzorder]

At first I thought this was the worst song in the album.

Now after all this time it was grown on me and is one of my favorites.

Truly is a epic album.

[Stretchzz]

The pure development of this song is epic! It starts as some strange ditty, and develops an epic point, along with ballsy brass line. Mos Def is all win...

[GeXeS]

This song is ruining the new album for me.

[WREQUIEM]

@GeXeS i know holy shit its pissin me off. i mean it would be ok if you could somehow skip it or something...maybe they'll invent something like that in the future

[THEdragonOfRainbows]

I can't help but move to the beat of this song!

[ethamilton]

dude this was beast live

[HeRsHeYsKiSsz]

Mos Def is a person you like to like

[theit111]

@HeRsHeYsKiSsz dude i thought this was Mos Def but i wasnt for sure. sweet quiet dog rocks

[jonsey1020]

only song i didnt like...but i still like it somehow hahha

[SilasWolfe]

This is post-dubstep as FUCK yo

[tony47666123]

I don't really like this one :S but PB is the best :D I listen to it almost everyday since it came out last march

[Hfsm33]

@tony47666123 I didn't ike this song, either. But it grew on me, the way it builds up.

[leopizza23]

I was not sure if I wanted to put this song in my "Song List of 9000" into my track list, but after listening to this song, it sounds good but not awesome or great though if I won the Lottery sweepstakes of course!

[TheBatWingedPrincess]

thumbs up if you've been to 2D's room in the plastic beach game!

[ThemOldaBoys]

@TheBatWingedPrincess How do you get there?

[BriarMaeriSibyle]

@TheBatWingedPrincess 2D is cute when he's afraid of the flippin' whale.

[hetasuzume]

this is art.

[xXxJokerManxXx]

that fucking brass is badass

[myspacecomrogiie]

mos def isnt that good to be honest

[ChocolateBlitz]

Mos Def is ridiculous

[pisse3000]

this is just one of those songs you've gotta give time.

hated it the first times. now it's top 3 on the album lawl xD

[THEdragonOfRainbows]

Wow, as soon as this started playing I began twitching and having a seizure.

Oh wait, nevermind! That was just me dancing to the beat of the song. XD

[masthekill2]

Sweepstakes=1,000,000x awesome

Sweepstakes on turtlebeach=1,000,000,000x awesome

Sweepstakes on Sony 7.1 home theater=1,000,000,000,000x AWESOME

[xXxJokerManxXx]

this is GOOD.. but t would be better if they added more percussions!!

[LeylaTheSweet]

beeeeeeeeeeeeest. <3

[MrBuntings]

You're a winna!

[NissleJissleJ95]

As I first heard the song, i didnt like it...now...i LOVE IT!

[metalheadkiddd]

@NissleJissleJ95 Same for me haha

[buckatunnaboy]

SWEEPSTAKES! You're a winner!

[lorykza]

letzz se me ;)

[lovekillsmex]

I LOVE THIS SONG<3

[numbah82]

not the best song on the album, still pretty good tho

[kaliflax]

everytime i listen to this album i skip this song.. i dont understand how something so bad could possibly get on their new album? :| I listen to stylo and Melancholy hill and then this and its just like ugh :|

[kouterken]

@kaliflax dude, this song is awesome! the build-up is so nicely done!

[bmxmisfits]

@kaliflax its really just the beginning tht fucks up the song

[pisse3000]

@kaliflax I did that at first too :P

just give it time and i tell you, one of these days you'll find yourself humming it on the bus :D

[MisterBankz]

Man I hope this becomes a single

[shawnyboy97]

i dont really like the begging but the rest is awesome :D

[WillsVargas89]

it almost sounds like they're saying "Marijuana"

rather than "You're a winner"

[TheArgiel]

@WillsVargas89 hahahaha xD
