Dirty Harry (Chopper Remix)

Dirty Harry Remix by Gorillaz talent-quest winner 'Asidus', or Daniel Gonzalez.
This song starts out slow, but once it gets going, it gives everything it has. Remember when you discovered the dictionary, and suddenly you stuffed your school essays with every big, fancy word you could find? This song is the equivalent. Bombs, monkey screeches, Middle Eastern influences, an accordian, this song has it all. And it works, more or less. Rather awkward in places, but all in all, an excellent amateur remix. Far better than some official remixes out there. The S4AS voters chose well.

Lyrics:

 

In my backpack
I got my act right
In case you act quite difficult
And your result
Weaken
With anger and discontent
Some are seekin
In search of
Like Nimoy

I'm a peace-loving decoy
Ready for retaliation
I change your whole location to a pine box six-under
Impulsive don't ask why or wonder
Orders given to me is
strike and I'm thunder with lightning fast reflexes on constant alert
from the constant hurt that seems limitless with no drop in pressure

Seems like everybody's out to test ya
'til they see you break
You can't conceal the hate
That consumes you
I'm the reason why you fill up your Isuzu

Chill with your old lady at the tilt
I got a 90 days extension
And I'm filled with guilt
From things that I've seen
Your water's from a bottle
mine's from a canteen

At night I hear the shots ring
So I'm a light sleeper
The cost of life seems to get cheaper
out in the desert
with a street sweeper
The war is over
So said the speaker with the flight suit on
Maybe to him I'm just a pawn
So he can advance
I remember when I used to dance
Man, all I want to do is dance

(Dance!)
(Dance!)
(Dance!)
