Synopsis:-
The Gorillaz are seen playing their instruments on a futuristic game court in Kong Studios. The game consists in trying to prevent balls hitting a target (the balls are fired at his speed from cannons) with your body. The more balls that hit the target, the more points the opposing team gets. Suddenly Del appears and starts rapping. 2-D, Murdoc and Del all play rounds of the game. Del stops all the balls with his great strength. Next up is 2-D; he tries to dodge all the balls in a cowardly way, but still ends up getting hit and hurt. Finally Murdoc has a go, and he deflects the balls using his crotch. At first he is successful but ends up being incapacitated after too vigorous a thrust.

Additional Information:-
Damon and Jamie have said the futuristic game in the video is based on an idea in the 1969 French film 'Mister Freedom'.

Availability:-
Available on non-US versions of the G-Sides, certain two and three CD editions of the debut album Gorillaz, and the Celebrity Take Down DVD.
