people wanted ta kno why me eyes are black,'ow i got into gorillaz, 'ow i met murdoc an 'ow i got me nickname 2D...'eres the answer
2D:Well...i wos workin as a
saturday boy at me dads Organ Emporium...wen al-

Murdoc:Me and my gang of snaggle-toothed hardnuts decided enough was enough.What'd we do is nick a car,burn it around town,bulid up a bitof speed and then launch it through the music shop window,ramraid stylee!!That way,right,we could smash some stuff up,get all the latest equipment free,and have a laugh doing it.The fact that the car landed on 2D's face was just a bonus.

2D:I member the day quite clearly actually,umm,I wos standin behind the counter,like,staring into space.Id prolly been in that position for...errr...three hours or so.Juss standin there.

Murdoc:Like some kind of moron!

2D:Suddenly,Murdoc came smashin thro the wall of the building in 'is Vauxhall Astra,which lands bumper first on the side of me head.

Murdoc:Happy days'!....That's when your eye came out,wasn't it?

2D:Yea..the first one..it didint come out..it wos pushed inward...fractured!God that did hurt!Then i wos put into a catatonic state!

Murdoc:You were just a vegetable,instantly.If I hadn't a been laughing so much,I probably would have heard the cops pulling up outside.

2D:Murdoc wos arrested an sentenced ta 30,000 hrs of community service,plus 10 hrs every week takin care of me.

Murdoc:God bless the British Justice System,eh?Unbelievable!They put ME in charge of YOU!It was a bit of a drag,but we used to have a lot fun of during those sessions.You wouldn't remember that though.You were just a comatosed plank really.Actually,it was like looking after a bag of cement.I used to slap you,punch you,kick you,drag you and catapulted you but you never woke up!!

2D:Really?

Murdoc:But one day,we were in the car park in Nottingham,and I was pulling a whole load of very snazzy 360 degree donuts.I had a proper burn on,and was getting some good smoke off the tyres.The girls that were standing around were really impressed.So I thought I'd take it up a notch,took my foot of the break and went for a grand finale!I was probably hitting about 90,when 2D got catapulted through the windscreen.He flew about 500 yards,landing face-first on a curb.......errr...OOPS!

2D:Really...again?

Murdoc:Yeah.That's when your second eye went.You flew through the widescreen at 70 miles an hour,landing on your head once more.You skidded on your face for maybe,half a mile,but when you came round,my God!

2D:The impact awoke me!

Murdoc:He stood up really slowly,his back still towards me,and really slowly turned around,like one of those zombies in those films he watches,and there were.......no eyes!Just two black holes,a vacant stare.

2D:That must 'ave been pretty scary.

Murdoc:No,mate.I saw it!It looked great!A blue-haired,black-eyed God!The girls would go wild!I knew I had it.You were still alittle bit mental,but I had my frontman!Despite the mess,and the fact that half of your face was hanging off,I could see that the girls would go crazy for his pretty-boy looks,so I made him the Gorillaz singer.Then,I gave him the nickname 2D because of the two dents he now sported on his face!

2D:And thats the story luvs an blokes!

Murdoc:Yeah...whatever.
