Gorillaz - 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix)

"19-2000" (sometimes written "19/2000") is a song from the Gorillaz' self-titled debut album, Gorillaz. It was also the second single from that album, released in June 2001, with a completely new version called the "Soulchild Remix", produced by UK music producer Damien Mendis. This served as the main radio version, used worldwide. The single peaked at the #6 position in the British charts, and reached #1 in New Zealand. The "Soulchild Remix" appears to utilise the drums from "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly & the Family Stone. The remix is basically a faster, more upbeat version of the song, but with re-recorded vocals as opposed to the obviously sped up vocals of "Clint Eastwood: Ed Case Refix". The remix appears on the bonus track version of the original album, as well as being the first track of G-Sides. The song is remembered for its chorus with the lyrics 'get the cool shoeshine'. The Soulchild Remix was featured in a wide variety of media, including the Channel 4 show 100 Greatest Kids' TV shows, the 2008 film Cloverfield, a TV commercial for Icebreakers, and as the title theme for the video game FIFA 2002.

Lyrics:
It's the music that we choose x 4
Polyester!!
It's the music that we choose x 4

The world is spinnin' too fast
I'm Buyin lead nike shoes
To keep myself tethered
To the days I tried to lose

POLYESTER

My mama said to slow down
you must make your own shoes
Stop dancing to the music
Of Gorillaz in a happy mood
POLYESTER
Keep a mild groove on

They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)x4
POLYESTER
(Keep a mild grove on) They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)x4

Here you go

Get the cool...
(Na na na na na na na)
Get the cool shoe shine
(Na na na na na na)x4

There's a monkey in the jungle
Watchin' a vapor trail
Caught up in the conflict
Between his brain and his tail

POLYESTER

And if time's elimination
Then we've got nothing to lose
Please repeat the message
It's the music that we choose

POLYESTER

Keep a mild groove on

They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)x4
POLYESTER
(Keep a mild grove on)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)x4

Get the cool
(Na na na na na na na)
Get the cool shoe shine
(Na na na na na na)x4

They do the bump (x4)
POLYESTER
It's the music that we choose
They do the bump (x3)
Keep a mild groove on
It's the music that we choose
They do the bump
Alright Now Break It Down Y'all We're Gonna Break Out

Get the cool...
(Na na na na na na na)
Get the cool shoe shine!
(Na na na na na na)x4

Get the cool...
(Its the music that we choose) (Na na na na na na na)
Get the cool shoe shine!
(Na na na na na na)
