Can't give you the url... youtube won't let me... but, if you can decipher it, I've uploaded my original broadcast recording of this session to aitchteeteepee-colon-slash-slash-megauploaddotcom-slash-question-d-equals-YCICXGCS. Enjoy :)
I believe the song is about the many transformations he and we have to undergo from birth to death. I've been a Cee-lo fan since his first cd with the Goodie Mob, and he has transformed himself. He started as a conscious "dirty south" rapper and has transformed into a more peaceful musician withouth boundaries. We all have phases through which we pass until we die. He's calling it transformation. And the brotha is far from goofy looking. You're obviously an asshole.
He is one to the goofieist looking people alive But there is no doubt this man can make nonsense sound good! That is not a dig I am just saying if you were to take the exact "lyrics" and sounds he is making and read them off it would look like baby talk but he sure can deliver them!! BTW love the tooth paste comment
@shonomad Pretty ignorant of you. The lyrics aren't "baby" talk, the song is about changing yourself to fit in with the people around you instead of being yourself.
@ZechsMerquise73 you can look for a torrent of it. i thought this version was incredible so i downloaded this vid then ripped the audio from it. if you want to message me and il help you out with it.
Solution! BRB using grocery money for aural stimulation. lol Seriously, though, I'd gladly forgo my week's sandwich quotient for this video. So, yeah, I guess I better go get some headphones. RIGHT NOW.
I CANNOT GET MY VOLUME LOUD ENOUGH ON MY COMPUTER. You can tell how upset I am about this by my liberal use of caps lock. This performance gives me goose flesh every time I hear it; it's so damn gorgeous.
I don't know what attracts moviegoers to the Transformer movies but that same magnetism pulls me to this video EVERY TIME I log on to a computer. Then I listen over, over and over. The vocals, musicians, costumes, lyrics, studio totally mesmerize me. So powerful.
I openly confess - positive adjectives fail me. This track takes me somewhere, somewhere far far away from earthly negativity. Yeah it transforms me...
Not only is this an AMAZING version of this song, my friend Clint is playing guitar. Thrilling on many levels! Happy early birthday Cee-Lo...I would send a gift but you already have the biggest gift of all, now go on and SANG.
@tininhoe lol i know i used to smoke weed to his songs. and it sent me through a month of a paranoia.I started breaking every thing he said down and it all made sense.it seemed as though he was trying to tell the truth and secrets about life through his songs. warning to all pot smokers do not listen to gnarls barkley if your high.
thank you for all those who suggested how to format the video so that I can listen to it on mp3 player. I was totally in the dark about it. Thanks again

Amazing!! juz cant go out of tune while listening 2this album,,,,, its damn awesum,,, dowloaded the entire album for free at DownloadMusic/./im , remove the slashes..
this version is way better (in my opinion) than the origi... its so much more meaningful of a song if you really can hear the lyrics. damn his voice is amazing :)
And yeah I got the CD (St. Elsewhere) and it took me a while to get the deeper meanings and word plays of these songs. It made me love them!
This version is quickly becoming my favorite of their works. And although it took me a while to warm up to the CD version I quite like it and respect it.
people often think this guy's called gnarls, but he's cee-lo and the other is danger mouse i think? awesome. was a little disappointed with the album version of this song after hearing this one though :-)
i think that person was talking abosut Cee-Lo.... but maybe they are one of those who think Gnarls Barkley is Cee-Lo's name and that it's a solo project.
LimeWire either "Gnarls Barkley Transformer" or Transformer Abbey Road, one of those, but it's on there, cuz I got it, and I'm glad I got it, I love this version.
DAMN!!! NOW This is the version people should hear. I mean both are good but he he put a real spin on this one! I got fuckin chillin that shit was deep!!! Who would have thunk it!!!! Damn Cee!!!
Cee-Lo is nothing short of shear brilliance. He is mad talented and I absolutely love the reinvention of this song. Anybody know where to get the mp3?
yeah. i think it might jus cuz everyone is in tune cuz that happens from time to time. this version of the song is such a great dynamic from the album version!
This pretty well prooves how good they are . It is the song transformer , but they sing it so its so diffrent ! Personaly i prefair this version , but both are masterfull .
is this actually live? Sounds live and I know he is awesome, but at the start he was talking, even with his mic off wouldn't you hear just a little bit of background sound from the other mics?
thats interesting, didn't notice that before. it looks like he's singing in that shot not talking. the only thing i can think of is that its an editing error, and that 5 second panning shot is from a bit further on in the recording.
