Posted October 14, 200618 yr GONE DADDY GONE [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKZR_9e_reM.swf http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/48/gnarlsbarkleyqo9.jpg Oct 2006 Gnarls Barkley returns with the third single of their amazing album 'St Elsewhere'. Continuing the theme of mental illness which was first displayed on their debut 'Crazy', this schizophrenic anthem showcases Cee-Lo's Temptations-like bass vocals to perfection. HMV Double A-side :o And good choices on what imho is an album that is a little bit $h!t, just a little bit But I must say, Just A Thought has been wasted :(
October 14, 200618 yr One of the better tracks off a fairly c**p album IMO. Its a good track but not a patch on Crazy but well I don't think this single can do much for their album anymore.
October 14, 200618 yr Just A Thought was the b-side to Crazy though so it's not really going to be a single. The album is fab, not really a bad track on it!

Its got some good tarcks on it but some really c**p ones as well, but I think its a bit of a love it or hate it album.
October 14, 200618 yr I think there are 7 excellent (The 4 singles, Just A Thought, Boogie Monster :wub: and Feng Shui) which I'd rate 8-10. The rest I'd rate 5-7...
October 14, 200618 yr Author Id say the singles then Just A Thought, Go-Go Gadget Gospel, and Transformer were the best tracks Online, Necromancer, Storm Coming and The Last Time are complete gack though, very samey album overall :( And I agree with Rooney, this albums had it's day and will do 500k tops in the UK

Is on 417,000 now and I don't think this single will promote the album too much.
October 14, 200618 yr Like 'Smiley Faces', I like this a LOT more than 'Crazy'. Not heard 'Who Cares' though.
October 15, 200618 yr I love this video, but I'm not sure that videos not featuring the actual band are as effective at promoting whole albums as they are at promoting singles. I really like the album, and I think it could get a bit of a boost if it's promoted properly in the run-up to Christmas. Crazy is a dead-cert to make the finals of Record of the Year, so expect a big push around about then.

Listen to the lyrics!
October 17, 200618 yr As you say, its a love or hate album. I love it personally, it now reminds me of the early summer.
October 28, 200618 yr Another sh*t release from them. Although I must admit that the Gone Daddy Gone video is quite good ^_^
October 28, 200618 yr NEITHER of these are well great, they seem to churn out these artsy/odd tracks with their kooky little videos but I just get left feeling, well underwhelmed
October 29, 200618 yr They were great on Jonathon Ross on Friday. I hope their album gets the boost it deserves.
November 9, 200618 yr Author It looks like this is going to debut only in the top 60 It's approaching the top 40 on airplay but can't even muster a couple of K :blink: They've not even bothered doing a video for Who Cares....I don't know :(

November 9, 200618 yr They have done a video for it :o Its got a vampire theme. Yes, it does, I found it on youtube here: [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQC66oGsDgg.swf I don't get all the Gnarls bashing, both songs are great! For me, Who cares? reminds me of sitting in the park reading back in Summer.....Cee Lo's vocal are outstanding as usual on both tracks. Top 60 only is a travesty!
November 12, 200618 yr I really liked 'Gone Daddy Gone' and quite liked 'Smiley Faces' but I hated and still do hate 'Crazy' and 'Who Cares' is a load of trash with a trash video. They seem to have promoted 'Who Cares' more than 'Gone Daddy Gone' and in my opinion that has worked against them and they should have done the opposite. 'Gone Daddy Gone' is a much better, catchy tune with a better, nicer video which is much more radio and video friendly so basically due to the pure and utter trash of 'Who Cares', nobody cared to buy it and it has completely missed the top 40 and the group look like they are turning into big one hit wonders.
