dance of the militray

Gorillaz: Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey's Head
Most of the gorillaz music is somtimes too weird to understand, and let alone interpitate into any thing...untill now. With the song "Fire coming out of the Monkeys head" i can find many things that suggest that Gorillaz kinda make fun of our "military" tactics.

With the lyracs
"Then one day, Strangefolk arrived in the town. They came in camouflaged, Hidden behind dark glasses,"
So with this line, the NArrator talks about camo, and sunglasses. Describing army soldiers.

Then:
"Falling out of aeroplanes and hiding out in holes Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home Jump out from behind them, and shoot them in the head"
Back to same lines ago, were i was talking about the soldiers. Now there is description by 2D, on how some raids go on.

In a small conclusion (and ill haev more to say during my persentaion) This song has alot of meaning. With a gental tone, like telling a story a story of war, pillage and even government. The song effect the young geniration, puting this sence of discomfert towords militarys all over the world even ours. The CD was put out during the Iraq war. When the song describes on what the dark figurs are doing in the mountian reminds me of the oil issue, were having now.

Your font is so tiny!

You described well why your song selection is relevant to our current time. You have not yet convinced me the song appeals to (or has been marketed to) young people.

Such is the challenge that lies before you!
