Gorillaz- Hand Clapper (unreleased)

[@Galm1Cipher0]

After over 20 years of being forgotten. This song is finally been released

[@SpuroWasDead_WakeMeUpWhen]

ONG?

[@ruad2642]

I love this old HTML quality. Really takes me back to the good old days.

[@jmann9686]

I love this a lot, but I am addicted to how the song goes after 0:46, just amazing...

[@hithere1291]

Same!

[@adam-yo5ox]

This live would have been metal af

[@Vincentzw]

Monstercover cheese I wish they’d developed a more fully realized song out of this demo, it’s such a catchy melody that could work live. Rumor has it this was supposed to take the spot on the album that Man Research did, so maybe there’s an unheard final version of this song somewhere.

[@Vickysqueeze]

@@Vincentzw the final is now been released

[@Vincentzw]

@@Vickysqueeze I heard it! Such a cool, weird little tune

[@gorillazrockstar]

Damon should've put this on the g sides album

[@keegansicard8570]

Yeah, along with the following: Don Quixote's Christmas Bonanza, Mr Softy's Balloon Race, Gor Beaten & Rock The House (Phi Life Cypher version).

[@Vincentzw]

Keegan Sicard also, Dub Dumb, Film Music, Routine and 911. My fan version of g-sides has all these plus the FM cover and Routine as the closet. Mr Softy’s wasn’t made during phase 1 though but it fits nicely on D-Sides between highway under construction and rockit

[@axiesem]

Keegan Sicard the balloon race one was phase 2

[@JennyJackal]

Vincent Wright pretty sure routine was made by kid koala

[@Vincentzw]

@@JennyJackal I know, I just love it so much as a closer. Really works after Hip Albatross too

[@hamstertrait]

this is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo catchy

[@emeraldshine9273]

I know this song was gonna be on the Self Titled album but was replaced with Man Research (Clapper) But I feel like if this had the Man Research lyrics and a bit of the keyboard part of the song I think if they did that this would be an amazing track

[@unluckyGolem]

I like it

[@emeraldshine9273]

Stuart Potts I do too Its just one of those song that I wish was on an album

[@unluckyGolem]

***** One of my favorite songs

[@emeraldshine9273]

***** Faust is actually one of my favorite gorillaz songs My only complaint with it is that no matter what set of Earbuds, Headphones, or music app I listen to it on its ALWAYS in mono audio

[@fon8047]

i love man research, its my fav song. but this demo sounds só fucking good omg

[@hdipan7731]

Now that it has been officially released, we realize that this version was completely different lol

[@ledzeppelinrestores]

which song is this

[@potatoslicelol]

i think it’s man research?

[@Triunity4]

who else remembers when the timer in the hell hole was released and we were waiting for it to reach 00:00:00 but it just restarted again lol

[@Nine9TailedFox]

Nice This is the Gorillaz that i like the most

[@SlapadelicMusic]

Whatever happened to the old Kong Studios site? I remember that shit from back in the day..

[@swampthing2088]

It got lost I presume or they shut it down due to the plastic beach era and yeah. I don’t really know if you even use the links anymore they don’t work for me but you can try. Sorry for this 5 years late reply.

[@oetam5204]

the old Gorillaz site with Kong studios was active until Plastic Beach release, and then got a reset. The website was then inactive during the hiatus, and re-opened days before the release of Humanz last year, without Kong Studios. It has recently updated just to put the two new songs. So, no more Kong Studios. At all :/

[@VV-sque]

Idk if you read this, but If you go on Gorillaz Wikia, on Kong Studios page, check the comments cause someone brought back some files of the old gorillaz website (I presume it's from the era after Noodles death, but before Plastic Beach) idk I'd it still works but I guess it's worth a shot

[@alexmckoy3478]

You could try (like I have :,,) ) to access the old files through the Wayback Machine, but when I tried to access the gorillaz site from 2000 it was pretty bad. You couldn’t get much, and when I went to around 2001 it wasn’t much better either. My google chrome actually shut down for a minute! The reason for it being gone is because of the phase change, and it wouldn’t make sense if it was still up. But it would be cool if the developers were to put up the archives on the site now so you could still access it.

[@cacao2cream369]

As of now since Humanz (their new 2017 album and their 2018 album The Now Now) it has been confirmed via a solar panel commercial that Murdoc had Kong Studios rebuilt and decked out with a bunch of solar panels and they have been living there since.

[@PSNEAKY]

I'd love if someone were ever able to find a higher-quality version of this demo. Or, you know, if it were ever put on an album, but that seems a little unlikely.

[@Donnel4]

DJRozwell It's from the old King Stuios website (from the early 00's so I doubt you could upload very high quality files back then

[@cashc4434]

This is a fan edit so it never existed in hq

[@stuartharold2dpot541]

Well I mean 9 years later their releasing their old unreleased songs, on their demos hand clappers one, maybe it’ll be better quality.

[@Leblenlens]

I love how the sound quality is basically 2003 nokia

[@AnimeBronyGamer300]

Although I love how Man Research ultimately was, I'd have liked to seen this be on the G-Sides album, perhaps a bit more expanded on though. Still, this is pretty cool.

When

[@hifurcatfood]

​@@vernorexia682for the 20th anniversary edition of Gorillaz, you can find it if you just search it up although it sounds nothing like this low-quality one though

[@flynnhoodie8597]

This song isn't official. It's made up of 4 samples that were on the Gorillaz site back in the day. The samples were official, but the song could've sounded like anything.

[@LeCarlton]

FlynnHoodie if you go to the old Kong studios website, Noodle's computer has music files for a song called hand clapper

[@murdoc_thiccals8990]

Le Carlton do you have the link? Thanks

[@Triunity4]

Le Carlton except there is no working link for that anymore. If you have please post it. It's a real shame that they took it down along with plastic beach and how come they haven't put up their spirit house?

[@thatslegit]

Le Carlton use the way-back machine/ archive website to guide people...

[@kelsiekirbyy8209]

i already tried using the wayback machine for the kong studios website, it doesnt work and it only brings u to the newer one

[@AnthonyJohan]

I can already imagine those who said that your version of the song was ugly listening the Demoz realizing that you had predicted how it was originally

[@Hyene_]

best gorillaz song ever.

i don’t get this, why was this made? why was it unreleased

[@cartersauce1344]

These are samples that were recorded by Damon Albarn (you can see him recording them in this video/ kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3ekY5qAZqySibs )that ended up on the Gorillaz website. People have put them together like in this video. There isn’t a particular order of the samples, which is why most of the videos of Hand Clapper are all slightly different.
