Chart Run: 07/07/2001 6 {6}-9-15-20-21-25-34-39-47-62->10 (Polyhex)

 

"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 and it was the song of choice to headline the soundtrack of FIFA 2002 game, from Electronic Arts. It peaked at the #6 position in the British charts, and the song samples the drumbeat from "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly & the Family Stone.

 

The song is remembered for its chorus with the lyrics 'get the cool shoeshine'. The Soulchild Remix was the theme tune to the Channel 4 show The 100 Greatest Kids' TV shows, broadcast on 27 August 2001. The remix was also featured in a commercial for Icebreakers gum.

 

This is one of the few songs where Noodle is credited for providing vocals, although her vocals in the song do not sound like one an average 10-year-old would've had. She also only spoke Japanese at the time; however, she may have picked the term up from a television program.

Music video

 

Soulchild remix:

 

 

Album version:

 

The video is animated, both in 2D and 3D. It features the foursome riding in their racing Jeep car along a twisted highway, encountering roller coaster loops, a killer UFO and a giant Moose. Murdoc tries to blow up the elk with a pair of missiles, but the moose sneezes right before impact, sending them back to the car, which explodes and skids along the highway on fire. The members of Gorillaz appear to have black ash all over them from the blast. (see cartoon physics). A stylized duck head, an Easter egg in early Gorillaz videos, can be found on the heads of the missiles right before they are sneezed away by the moose.

 

There are two versions of this video, one to fit the original mix and one to fit the Soulchild remix. Both videos are almost identical, except for a few minor changes in order for the two songs to sync up with the video.
