Gnarls Barkley Transformer [Song & Lyrics]

[HappyFatzKid]

I love this song. The best memory I have of this song was when I was at a PGroove show in Athens, GA the drummer was playing along with a drum machine, I was starting to peak on a really nice chem, I couldn't pull the dummer and the drum machine apart, he was playing and then all of a sudden the song fires up. Now starting to trip balls I did what seemed what came natural, close my eye and starting singing and dancing. Now this was when this song first came out and I don't think anyone

[HappyFatzKid]

around me knew it at the time and the dude I went with didn't know it either, it wasn't anything by the Grateful Dead so he didn't know it ^^, but as I was dancing around my eyes would slightly open I would notice ppl staring at me, I din't know if it was the chem or not, so I kept on til the song ended. When it was over my friend pull me off to the side and asked me how in the hell I knew this song, he thought it was just something they made up, I guess the other ppl wanted to know the same.

[bboySteez]

haha ill

[GBBMSH96]

ok, u win, i was wrong.

[GBBMSH96]

May I just say something, being probably the biggest GB fan in SA. Gnarls Barkley is the name of the group. The singer is Cee-Lo Green (real name Timothy Callaway) and the multi-instrumental Danger Mouse (Brian Burton) Who is also the producer. This song is very nice and very catchy. But it has absolutely nothing to do with the actual transformer movies. It is infact about Split-personality. KINGTIGGERKILLER i am a white guy, but in my opinion african americans are much better singers than us.

[Kellysayshello]

GBBMSH96, Its moronic to say "i am a white guy but in my opinion blacks are much better singers than us".

There are great WHITE singers and bands too, such as Elvis, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, etc. All of them are much bigger than GB could ever hope to be. Singing talent has NOTHING to do with race! Grow up and learn to leave racial politics out of it.

[pamew]

Well said.

Cee lo's pretty damn good as a soul singer/rapper, but as a straight forward singer as regards range and power he doesn't even touch the legendary Ronny James Dio.

Race has feck all to do with it, it's about talent.

[xXgenlzanderXx]

this shud be skids and mudfalp theim

[solidcrackerVII]

why? WHY? Didn't they have this in transformers? it IS the most appropriate song ever for the movie.

[1451tyler]

no it's not, simply because this song isn't shit.

[toloverufan2]

transformers 2 did not suck . tho i gotta say it had a few inconsistencies . for example . bublebee. didnt they fix his voice box at the end of the first movie?!

[BlackCreedAssassin]

indeed they did, and all they did in number 2 is run, allot

still love the film.

[SRGTwolfhound]

in the beginning wen he jumps out to help sam from the evil hous hold items lol he damages it which i know yeah tht is soo dumb

[xTkaoSx]

the movies actually doesnt sux, but not that good like oldskool transformers shows

[brinasoyummy]

agreed, transformers 2 suckedddddddddd. too much goin on.

[PeckerwoodCracker]

TRANSFORMERS 1 and 2 sucked, the show was better.

And this song IS about split personalities, not Shia blowing 100 dudes with shit blowing up in the background.

[iwamuro]

compared to other stuff by Gnarls Barkley this is utterly, utterly shit, with a capital S!!

it sounds like they overlayed every version that they recorded

and the rapping over the top sounds like the local retard - with partially dropped balls - trying to do their best

this sucks big time....still it just goes to show that shit sells and, well, Gnarls still got paid

[OBESECHIEF]

listen to transformers live at abbey that song is amazing

[nicufluf]

genius...

[iwamuro]

lol well you certainly are not! this has to be the biggest load of garbage it's repetitive dull and musically vacant the singer sounds like he's having a seizure I I I [come on son spit out] Transformer if you think lyrics like that are genius my advice give all your personnel wealth to a worthwhile charity/cause then quietly remove yourself from the gene pool (and just for all you astutes who love this shite - genes are what constitute DNA) you learn stuff like that from books!!

[nicufluf]

you definitely have issues. what do you prefer, 50 cent. I listen to pretty sophisticated music. Ever heard of Frank Zappa, probably not. Don't worry bro, I know exactly what I'm talkin about. This is a super catchy song, and there is nothing wrong with that at all. And have you heard the Abbey Road version....it's like magic! So really, just take a deep breath, and shoot yourself in the head...

and wow....you actually used "lol"....what a fuckin tool...

[SyrenWulf]

About to hear the abbey road version since it's up here.... and yeah frank zappa! Nice one brovva!

[Taizuko]

technically...nowadays saying "tool" makes you a "tool"

[nicufluf]

oh...and p.s.

i've read about 40 books in the last year, and not that Nancy Drew shit like you read...

[SyrenWulf]

Alright, easy goes brother. This kinda stuff is like the filler material for his album. It is not musically inept (and I'll discuss this if you argue further) but is quite innovative (again, see previous) and inspiring. Fair enough if it's not your cup of tea, we all have our oppinions.

[yahhaytube]

Um, ya know... genes are NOT what constitute DNA, NUCLEOTIDES are.

In fact, since DNA is just "long unbranched paired polymer chains, formed always of the same four types of monomers" (Molecular Biology of The Cell, Fifth Edition... not from random wiki) technically you can get a strand of DNA which codes for nothing. But then a smart guy like you already knew that, eh?

I do not like this song, but it is fine if others do. It is people who misuse their half ass knowledge that bothers me.

[Psycho908]

What are you think you are?

How can you climb as a baby out of the garbagecan???

Tell me?

[cordsman]

transformers 2 sucked!

[armand111]

this shit is meant to program you hahahaaha just listen to it....most people dont care though...

[monkelad2042]

This is crap

[COLLARID]

Lol 8D It's catchy.

[megamanfalcon]

if u look at da icon for both decp and autob they look like fish

[RawBiznasProductions]

anyone see the breakdancing transformer videO?????

I havent seen it in years!! and I guess its not on youtube

[Genzuiftw]

I thought this song was about split personalities.

[mistapig]

LMAO!!!

[DirttySouthsKing]

exactly

[GuitarzzFtw]

Actually the movie earned a round of applause throughout every showing room at my theater... but yet the song isn't for transformers. lol

[stormwatch624]

this song fuckin rock hell yea

[omgu99def]

ultimate song for transformers!

[noumantrans]

Omg i am transfomers fan now i realy like this song!!!

[weeeeeeee6]

GREATEST THING EVER!

[nvanl]

Nice bass

[spaceking776]

haha~ people these days just get wierder and wierder xD

[14kennjo]

wtf

[joeho318]

this is awesome-ness

[lexingto]

OK PEOPLE! When or where did it say that this song was about the movie! And if it pisses u off that the person that made the video used that background ask em to change it cuz it's misleading.

[Calbot91]

why would the song HAVE to be about transformers?

[jackle2010]

This song.....sucks. Is has NOTHING at all to do with the movie...or the show...or the toys...or transformers in general accept for the fact that he says transformers...honestly its anoying...I had to stop listening and just read the lyrics after 30 seconds of nose bleed endusing crap.

[14Indiana]

does this song have ANYTHING to do with the actual film?

the song is legendary

but the film?

not as such

[whotookthecookies]

transformers is more than just a film, and the whole franchise is and will be much more legendary than this song

[ghettodancer14]

i love it

[tiggarulz]

dis ish go so hard! is so short dou! dis fast version good 2!

[tiggarulz]

dis song remind me of a fren i hav hoo try 2 akt jus like me all da dam time! heez reel annoyn alot of da time!

[fennerd]

This version is pretty tight, but the slow version is more powerful to me. Either way, Gnarls Barkley is doing pretty damn well.

[bistroman12]

Fast or slow version both of them rock!!!

For some reason the lyrics in this song are phenomonal "I'm a microchip off the old block" 5 stars!!!!

[joeho318]

trip bawls to this song :] you will love itt

[0kungfupanda0]

Ya this doesn't compare to the slow version

[tbt0991]

slow version is so much better

[theparadiser]

a good ringtone though in a meeting it's greeaaat!

[b1soul]

for the idiot that said that it has nothing to do wit the"shitty cartoon" u fail to realize that it wasn't the intention of the artists to compare it to the cartoon.... its jus a reference. the song is about comparing the changes a person goes through to survive and overcome in life. but i understand if either one of the artists in gnarls barkley is to abstract for your mind, let alone both of them working together..... dumb ass.

[aizen111]

haha nice i was gonna say something along those lines but you said it first

[HarlequinOHate]

right said bro..

[lotusblossom11]

I agree totally. Respect.

♥ !Peace n Love! ♥

[catcat2465]

Fav artist

[qwerki666]

I wonder if anyone realizes that this song has absolutely nothing to do with that shitty cartoon.

[tonyxd88]

HATE HIS SONG STUPID

[MadGamer49]

then why would u listen to it dumass idiot

[oncould9]

XD this guy is 1 of fave artist ^^

[RoBotz05]

awesome song

[byakuganboy13]

Im a Transformer autobots ROLL OUT!!!

[raiseitup01]

this song is cool if you actually listen to the lyrics it means alot

Be careful cause I'll kill you

With kindness

That why I'm dressed quite neatly

Cause Its easy and discreetly they seek me

And when they reach me and see me

they believe me completely

[monkelad2042]

WTF is this shit

[Mystline18]

lol

[OvaNineThousand]

Okay, I know Ima transform, but should I be firin mah lazer?

[DeviousTomasz]

traaaaaaaaaansfurrrrrrrrm!11!

[dizzydjc87]

[Cleancutchaos]

Damn!! So many negative marks!! Love the music, and each other people! ...and then look up the studio version... and love that too! lol

[skittlesticks]

[cutepikaboo]

Transformer Rocks!! I,i,i,i,i,i,i,i I can Transform!I'm a Transformer!!

[Speedybot200]

lol makes me want to transform 2 BD

[cod5wiiriley]

ima tramsformer

[MightyJustas]

so will i

[tkmccampbell]

yea cee-lo and danger mouse have worked together on a couple of songs together before (benzie box by dangerdoom) and they just started messing around and making st. elsewhere but sadly cee-lo says after the next album they're calling it quits

[BoyMorganIII]

Why Isn't this on the Transformers Soundtrack?!?!?!?!

It would be cool IMO

[tkmccampbell]

because that would make too much sense it would be good for the album

[jealousblues]

this is maybe the best song on the album.

Its just great how busy it is, and how it gives a feel of constant transformation...

[SouthBaySoulja]

this version is too busy for my taste :)) but the unplugged version SLAPPS, its crazy how damn different they are! Cee Lo is a G

[Devilbat]

Thats why someone used it with the CGI Devastator Decepticon youtube video because he's a busy looking Transformer made up of different Transformers that can transform without even trying

[NateBiggity]

DANGER MOUSE = GENIUS

[jackle2010]

I for one and I guess this is my own nerdiness talking would have much more enjoyed a remake of the old 80s theme song.....This on just gave me a headache.

[Devilbat]

This has nothing to do with the movies moron

[sarah90800]

:) Cette chanson m plait emplement!

[swimidiot]

This song reminds me that I am nature naturing, which is both dope and funky fresh at the same time.

[theflashshane]

this song's so tight and wild. i always imagine a crazy video in my head. haha my cuzin and i mad up a dance for this

[snakebite784]

this song is brilliant one of the best songs i have heard in my life time it is just utterly fantasic

[SticksWorld1]

This was Gnarls' try on rap, and boy did he just RULE!

[F2TCORPS]

your an idiot ce lo was in goodie mob back in the late 90's and they were apart of the dungeon familY (out kast) this wasn't a try at rap stupid, he started off a rapper, plus danger doom has produce a pretty decent amount of hip hop albums

[daftpunx234]

I think you mean Dangermouse, Danger Doom is DM with MF Doom

[F2TCORPS]

it was a typo but thanx for correcting me

[jinbuster1]

this song is the best

[jasminemarie089]

i had no clue that this was the original version, i like the one of him live with the strings intruments in the background, wow it works both ways tho

[LiliethB]

ive got this on his album i love this song

[Sertith]

I love this song <3
