Gorillaz - Mr Softy's Balloon Race

[RieseMeyers]

@pauly14 That is from the cover of the "We Are The Dury" Interview CD.

[SpookMouse]

Always makes me smile. Was it ever released on any b-side albums?

[Rosethecat228]

I the pic play by play thing (or whatever it's called)

[pauly14]

what's that image on 2:46 ??? i cant find it anywhere!!

[DevfafaORMANcom]

I wish gorillaz would go on forever even if its different voices kinda like scooby doo or Pokemon or somthing like that!

[kururugirl]

@DevfafaORMANcom I know......But Gorillaz woulnt be the same without Damon's angelic voice

[DevfafaORMANcom]

@kururugirl So true ....

[fs11klrk]

3 people....

Oh, I just don't have the heart. :)

[Nesplayer]

I swear, this song needs to be fucking cleaned and officially released. It really does give a beautiful depiction of the bright tropical blue sky's, that's why i loved this song when i first heard it on their website years ago ^_^

[TiffanyRoyaleS]

This song makes me feel like a kid again...

I wish I discovered the Gorillaz earlier :(

I'm 18 lol

[fs11klrk]

@TiffanyRoyaleS I empathise.... A LOT

[TiffanyRoyaleS]

@fs11klrk Yep :/ lol

[thenintendo1000]

This Song Helps me Sleep! :)

[2DLUVSME]

I have the entire collection of Gorillaz albums and I've NEVER heard  this song on any of the albums!!! So Im stumped!!

[cesiface]

Cuantos mensajes subliminales tiene xD

[mikey0rox]

This song has survived with me for four years. We've been through countless relationships together and this song always puts me to peace. I'm eighteen now and a lot has changed... I've had my ups my downs, moments of happiness and terrible tragedy and for some reason.. when I hear this.. its all just so great, I'm just so happy to be alive, so happy to have my friends, family, health and options. Looking back on my life while listening to this song just.. makes me smile. Like im lookin at clouds

[luke4djojo]

@mikey0rox i know how you feel

[dualnature69]

@mikey0rox life is good man;)

[crow33215]

@mikey0rox Clap....... clap.... clap.. clap CLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCLAPCL­AP!!!!! Seriously though, i can relate to that =]

[flyingmotorbike]

@mikey0rox I agree so much with your comment. This song always lightens my mood when I feel down, it's so uplifting. This band, actually, have brought me so much happiness during such horrible times in my life. I will always love them :D

[15rabidwookies]

New summer song :D

[OomphMat]

XD

[PoisonPeachPit]

This song kicks ass. 

[sammysurfus101]

[TheRealGirlruley]

Yeah when Murdoc burned down Kong Studios it was like he burned down my childhood :(

[2DLUVSME]

whut album is this song from?

[wafflekitty11]

@2DLUVSME it MAY be g-sides or d-sides, i'm not quite certain...

[TiffanyRoyaleS]

I couldn't chill to this. It'd make me wanna dance with my hips lol

[360videos1996]

[barneythedamdinosaur]

i swer 2 god i hav this song on my ipod

[Jaredmb602]

aww man! i had to have caught that glimpse of Mordocs ass! come on man!

[KingChaos1337]

what a shame for the low sound quality :(

[agentHARDCOREbunnies]

@Extreme1089 Well, yeah. I understand that. Just sayin' what comes to my mind, y'know?

[Rubenmon1]

Sound like some cool catchy song you would here in some old nes game. How does Damon do it?

[Rubenmon1]

where does this come out?

[agentHARDCOREbunnies]

@Extreme1089 I'm actually pretty sure it's the montage they used for the, er,

'Monks Montage' or something? While they played the song 'We Are Happy Landfill.'

[AntonioSegali]

@agentHARDCOREbunnies Monks Montage had Left Hand Suzuki Method as a soundtrack. This one was an easter egg on "Slowboat To Hades", where it had Happy Landfill as a secret song, accompanied with this video.

[ScaryMonstahh]

This song is addicting

[BowMowChicka]

Thi song is amazing lol, ultimate chill out tune! But another good song that sunds nothing like this is the song: Electric Shock (Featuring. sinfiona ViVA & De La Soul)

[gorillazpikapoop]

I gotta agree I miss kong why did they burn it WHY

[barneysgonnafindyou]

@gorillazpikapoop I KNOW HUH ?

[gorillazpikapoop]

@barneysgonnafindyou ya though I found a link were kong is only a little broken but not completely burned but it wont let me put the link

[barneysgonnafindyou]

@gorillazpikapoop DAMN!

[barneysgonnafindyou]

this reminds me when i was like 7 (2004) when the nice kong studios undestroyed kong studios was still on gorillaz.com i still remember everything

there would be noodles windmill outside the building which is resting on top of a landfill and when you click on the windmill it would be realeased from the string then it would fly past the cylider shaped thingies that were sprayed painted across

ITS DARE , when i remember all this i think i really miss this place somtimes i even cry cuz of it

[LeapLittleLionMan]

@barneysgonnafindyou I love you. I ask people like, If you had to choose a place to live, where would you live- Kong or Plastic beach? And they're all "PLASTIC BEACH ALL THE WAY LOL." and I just frown. ):T

[jupiterfive]

@barneysgonnafindyou It's called nostalgia, and it sucks

[GunsGenialeStuff]

It makes me think in pastel colours <3

[jonnavdpas]

I just got mindfucked by this tune and the slideshow! And I enjoyed every second of it! <3

[bellasnow68]

This song is so chill. I love it.

[AdoptedSalmon]

@Extreme1089 *on wikipedia*

[AdoptedSalmon]

@Extreme1089 Check the bottom of the gorillaz discography page "Martina Topley-Bird - Poison (She collaborates again with Roots Manuva and Gorillaz on the B-side track "Soldier Boy"), 2008"

[BowMowChicka]

@Extreme1089 Yo, I don't mean to but in but do you reckon that you could send me the link of all these Rare Tracks? How many are there & are they any good thanks, oh & are there any featured guests please send link thanks bye!

[AdoptedSalmon]

@Extreme1089 Actually just looked it up Small time shot away does feature Damon Albarn, the album may have not been The Fall but damn it had some really rare tracks

[AdoptedSalmon]

@Extreme1089 Woah youre right (we must have the same thing) but that songs not even Gorillaz :(

aaaannd Amarillo = Soldier Boy Hillbilly Man = Space Monkeyz Theme Seattle Yodel = Film Tailer Music (not to be confused with film music, they are different songs)

[AdoptedSalmon]

@Extreme1089 I found all of them except for the one that was supposed to be "the joplin spider"

[pookymouth]

i think i broke the "replay" button. XD

[silverlugia1998]

where can i download this?!

[AdoptedSalmon]

@silverlugia1998 I got a download off frostwire that was SUPPOSED to be "the fall" but it was 15 really rare Gorillaz tracks and it has this on it, im trying to find the names to all the tracks now. thank god for wikipedia.

[satansbraten27]

fuck,why didnt i know this song earlier?o_____O

[rockomundo]

Phase 2 FTW!

[northernworld2]

is this on D-Sides?

[rockomundo]

@northernworld2 No unfortunately.

[CharliiGorillaz]

I love this song, its so relaxing.

[MisterBankz]

WOW I haven't listened to his song in like a year :D

[widgematidge]

Heeheee epic song xD !

[kururugirl]

this sounds like one of there first ones but it still is epic XX3

[cutehammster]

;D I Saw Mr Softy today! I asked him if he was still doing his Ballon race and he said, I Take that as Icecream?

[plackonteeth]

3:07 0_0 then: XD

[8lue8unny]

2:48 Is My Fave Pic! ^^

[plackonteeth]

is this cake?

[plackonteeth]

@plackonteeth oh no wooops its Blur isn it.

Gorillaz: no ITS DARE! lol

[hugoxca]

For the people that are saying to calm down with the pictures, he didnt made the video, you can see it in "Phase two slowboat to hades" and yes, this song is official Gorillaz

[JediBlades42]

Since this fits with the general vibe and flow of the music Gorillaz produces, I'm surprised this still isn't released on an album. Maybe this will be found on "P-Sides", who knows?

[nocterayne]

Whoaaaa, you need to calm down with the pictures.

[Zutara4eva12]

this song makes me wanna get up and go do every single out door thing there is to do. Dunno why. Especially with the way u put this vid together. Thumbs up

[WierdKidsInc]

I kinda think of like an acutal balloon race. "First one to the exosphere wins!" Mr. Softy said. He raised a gun from the inside of his shirt and shot it in the air, "Go!" He said, and everyone let go of their balloon and let them raise all up in the air.

I dont know... somfin like that.

[SheJanel]

I imagine the same thing.

Anyways, I really wish they release a polished version of this song on their B-sides.

It's just too joyful and awesome to leave it as it is.

[bloorazor]

how can i get this song?

[miraxell]

Hahah it sounds like im playing NES 10 yearsa ago

[maddrambomaxx72]

is this actually the gorillaz what cd is it on?

[Hughesta74]

@maddrambomaxx72 It's the gorillaz, but it's not on a CD, it used to be on their website.

[TheGorillazToasty]

WOOHOOO!!!! ^^

[VictoriaSobocki]

thats a lot of pictures mate!

[lolsupgo2dead]

Makes me want to play my old gaming systems again! :P

[SheJanel]

Man, this track fills me with so much glee.

It's too bad they couldn't make a more clear version of this song.

I can only hope it will come out of their next B-sides album.

:(

[Tazza2323]

dude, you have more Gorillaz pictures than me. I'm sorry but you have problems.

[AllanGrim]

@Tazza2323 Actually this video was made by gorillaz for the track "We are happy landfill" at the dvd.

Anyway this suits perfectly the song :D

[Tazza2323]

@AllanGrim I take back the comment then XD

[Kanwulf123]

hahah, that bassline is straight from Balloon Fight

nice form to employ it

[Razor106T]

SOUNDS AWESOME

[ADAtl11]

the track has hiccups

[ThinksWithPortals]

I hear someone gasping

[iliketowtlez]

I love this songggggggg and the stop sign at the end xD

[himfawdwn]

This song is so freaking......whimsical! It personifies gorillaz.

[jucebox99]

[stopthedams23]

Man i'm going to miss this song if they don't put it out on a b side album... websites up and running again and updated,no more Kong studios...not complaining about it it's very good news for me, but I won't be able to play this on russel's record player anymore :( *tear*

[72andreita]

[ALNtelevision]

Now i say he (and Jamie of course) are genius.

[noodlexDANCEgrl95]

*insert huge smiley here*

[Moviesan69]

This better be in their newest album. It's too good not to have at all times.

[OttoZeus]

[ImaDinoRoarrrrr]

[InsertUniqueUsername]

Gorillaz are...OUTSTANDING.

[yingyangpop27]

[The14thZodiac]

[AgentAlloy]

[The14thZodiac]

The 4 I have seem to be pretty popular...

[FullmetalGorillaz]

[MisterBankz]

[Souldestroy199]

[MisterBankz]

@Souldestroy199 Yeah it's not sorry lol , I posted that like last year .

[Souldestroy199]

[3050810]

best.song.ever

[Thitoss]

AAH FINALLY!

i heard this song in gorillaz website and i had never found the song

:D gorillaz<3

[Gorillazfreak18]

The title reminds me of a Mario Party mini game.

The song reminds me of Banjo Kazooie.

The song makes me think of being in a hot air balloon.

Who is Mr. Softy?

[Path2damnation]

Haha, it sounds like Baloon fighter!

[revengew10]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

[mosddoomsday1]

this isnt released, you can only watch it online

[casserrr]

were can you get this song?

[GothicRage778]

@MAandS- It's a spin off of "B-sides" usually used for an album containing demos and remixes

[MAandS]

oh ok. sorry. i couldnt remember what it was on. i was to lazy to use google. lol

[MAandS]

oh wait. i meant like.... its on d sides. but i wasnt sure. so i put a question mark. iknow what d sides is tho. i own it. thanks tho.

[JediBlades42]

If this is not on a CD, where can you get this?

[HappyxEmoxBunnies]

It makes me imagin the alter side of russel. And I mean with his red dress and dorthey shoes (from fancy dress) LOL

I have a feeling that this might be on their fourh album along with noodle's mix tape music. cos there is new hints of songs on their site. Remember what they did with murdoc is god, happy landfill, rock it, ect. ? It may be old but you know they enhance it cos it's just a demo and they will eventualy will put it out. Maybe on their upcomming album or EP.

[JazzyFilms]

favorite part of ANY gorillabitez is when we see Russel in the dress.

[yewiyewiya2]

"Like dorothy from the wizard of oz..."

[SS4Okami]

When go to the website it's in Russel's room

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Great thing.
