She's ugly for a reason- in the song the person is recalling a lost love. In the picture the person is drawing out a memory. But when he gets to the end he realizes that she's gone and gets angry and just draws an ugly face. That's also why the face is drawn much faster than the other parts of the body, which you can see are drawn out slowly and with care.
@amabhy Look closely, it was actually drawn at the same speed the entire time. The face just required less detail because it had a simpler structure than the rest of the picture.
@TelvanniGuard One of us needs to work out a way for sarcasm to be readable over the internet. It was a joke to the literal that I said that...Murdoc has a sick enough sense of humor that he would find that funny. And no comment is late, just long overdue. In all honesty, I completely forgot that I even made this comment :) haha
I really love these guys but, their music has some kind of effect on me like when I listen to Kids With Guns sometimes it all gets dark and I wake up 40min after it :S is that normal?
This song is perfect. If anybody mouths this song, go to hell. This drawing is supposed to mean something...I forgot it though... I read it an interview with Jamie
The greatest song ever. You mush have a heart of stone to not appreciate this one of a kind song. Never forget, never replace, never scrutinize this song.
First of all, I love the song. It is spectacualar and the feel of the drawing just fits.
The drawing is lovely as well for the most part. I was expecting it to be noodle. And maybe it is, but she has the face of the Baba Yaga. Yet the body of a model. Anyhow, its a bit odd and it would be make more sense if she looked... human. Lol. Maybe its symbolic and I'm just not getting it though. Sorry if thats the case.
Beautiful in every respect. Im a huge gorillaz fan and this song is one of there best. The live is way better than the none live. Wish i could get the live one on my ipod
I like the song live. damons voice has alot of power and feeling behind it live. UNlive is Still fantastic. And the drawing Is good (up until the face) oh And in the Live DVD videos for Feel good inc , dirty harry, And dare dont have visuals. they only pass the Promo picture. And At the time they released the Live DVD El manana Hadnt been made at all.
This song is my anthem, seeing as how I love this girl madly and she's dating someone else. Combine this song on a loop with a bottle of bourbon and it doesn't hurt much for a while.
In 1945, a young girl named katu lata kulu came over to America in a grey boat. A mysterious man killed her by cutting the word " LATUALATUKA" into her back. now that you have read this message she will come to your house on a full moon and steal your soul unless you follow theese directions:
Retype this message as a comment for 3 other videos
hey fucktard DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR it was a full moon last nite and i read this message about 15 times yesterday and guess what she did'nt come so stfu about latualatuka
YES! I was watching this thinking "Hey- I think that's Noodle!" And the the face. I go "Oh my God! Is that a cross between Murdoc and a monkey wearing Noodle's clothes?" XD
For those complaining about the whole Noodle death thing, it says in the Rise of the Ogre book that it was a stunt to kill some arch-nemesis of Murdocs. Go to a Barnes and Noble or something, it's at 50% off with a B&N membership. Long read too.
that was the el manana music vid. the real one, not the live in manchester one. look it up. theres a big thing where noodles on the windmill island from feel good inc, and helocopers bomb it and shit.
el manana means the tommorow - and i hav used it as a screen name for ages on everything pretty much. i just liked the sound of the word in spanish, manana. then i find it means the dangers of tommorow, what might happen in the future, its classy
Wow you guys are all such fucking wankers! Noodle isnt dead and she never was! It was a music video! Not real! Noodle is back in Japan with her parents. Yes she found them and is doing what a 14 year old girl should do. Live...
tis is just the video for the concert..u gotta see the real video....I just think Gorillaz had to do their concert in a few days, so they had to make some videos quick...so they made that vid for the concert...I guess
this makes me cry more than the actual video...and the video makes me cry real hard. P.S. i dont know why it makes me cry, i guess im just emotional :)
Damon needs to speak up. I could barely hear most of the song. Or maybe just quiet other parts so he can be heard without straining his voice..... Yeah, what? I don't know.
Such a beautiful rendition of "El Manana." The visuals are simple and elegant. I think the image works with the song, almost as if this girl's wishing someone might appreciate her and get past her ugliness (I would...in time xP)
Maybe it's just me, but does that sound in the background sound a bit like an ambulance?
It was the fucking Combine soldiers who killed Noodle.They came down from the Citidel on their pissing Hunter Choppers and started firing. Pissing Combine.
Sorry the link doesnt work... go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noodle_%28Gorillaz%29.... then scroll down to the bottom and click the "1" next to the word "MTV"...sorry
On October 24, Gorillaz-Unofficial released an article containing the contents of the book Rise of the Ogre in which Murdoc finally revealed that the El Mañana video was indeed "staged" and that Noodle is still "alive" [2]. I guess you've waited long enough. Noodle's safe, she was just acting as planned... Jamie Hewlett gave Noodle the command, and she parachuted safely off the island.
Danger, this link contains news about noodles death AND a very horrible moment for them that might happen... http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1528295/20060410/gorillaz.jhtml?headlines=true
I read Gorillas-unoficial and they've had other interveiw after her death but albarn and hewlett are ending gorillaz so I think they killed her off like they said but the interveiws are just to keep us from colapsing in greaf (I think I spelled that wrong...)
You sure it'd Paula? I don't think her nose was that large. Then again this looks nothing like her. Here's a link to pic of Paula ---->http://www.geocities.com/drwurzel/?20062#
