    People keep talking about how this song would be better if it was longer but I disagree. I think this song really works well as a short, fast garage rock tune and it's the perfect length.

      Gondry was probably forced by Jack to say that so people would spend time analysing every frame of the video.
      That cut does look a lot different to the next bit (especially in lighting) but it's also taken from a different angle. If either one is CGI, it's well done.

    *Fun Fact:* Jack asked LEGO if they could provide a mini version of himself and Meg with every single they sold for this song. LEGO originally turned them down, but when the video became a hit LEGO changed their minds. They reached back out to Jack to agree to the deal. However, in a fit of irony, Jack turned them down just to spite them.

    Lyrics:
    Fell in love with a girl
    I fell in love once, and almost completely.
    She’s in love with the world.
    Sometimes these feelings can be so misleading.
    She turns and says “Are you alright?”
    I said “I must be fine, cause my hearts still beating.”
    Come and kiss me by the riverside
    Bobby said its fine, he don’t consider it cheating now.
    Red head with a curl.
    Mellow roll for the flavor, and the eyes for peeping.
    Can’t keep away from the girl.
    These 2 sides of my brain need to have a meeting.
    Can’t think of anything to do, yeah.
    My left brain knows that all love is fleeting.
    She’s looking for something new, yeah.
    I said it once before, but it bears repeating now.
    Oh (x16)
    Can’t think of anything to do, yeah.
    My left brain knows that all love is fleeting.
    She’s looking for something new, yeah.
    I said it once before, but it bears repeating now.
    Fell in love with a girl
    I fell in love once, and almost completely.
    She’s in love with the world.
    Sometimes these feelings can be so misleading.
    She turns and says “Are you alright?”
    I said “I must be fine, cause my hearts still beating.”
    Come and kiss me by the riverside
    Bobby said its fine, he don’t consider it cheating now.

    This song is very relatable (at least right now).
    Good lyrics, good music, amazing animation.

      There's just no market for it. In the age of MTV, there was plenty of use for complex, cool videos; that was more or less the most common way to advertise the album. But now we live in the days of UA-cam, iTunes, and piracy and there's just no reason for the record labels to fork out upwards of $100,000 to put out the spectacles that music videos once were.

      SkylitDriveFan123 I'd have to say that the Cage the Elephant video isn't as intriguing or original as all that. It's just shots of the band with some close ups of the singer and other band members in some vaguely psychedelic animation. All of that has been done to death at least since the Beatles with Yellow Submarine, probably longer. Along with that the only thing the Gorillaz even tried to do that hadn't been done before was tour and perform as an animated band which while technically innovative for a stage show is really not that innovative as a music video.
      BTW, an artist being "completely of their time" is the entire reason some bands are remembered at all. It's not always a reason to forget them.

      your wedding? this song has a very dark side to it, it’s like people whose first dance is “Every Breath You Take” by The Police. that song is about stalking people…this song is about an immature superficial romance that resembles an addiction or fleeting desire (which is packaged very smartly inside the classically “bad” musical composition people have mentioned in the other comments). weird choice for a wedding song, but i guess it’s a better choice than Careless Whisper. hope your marriage is going well, congrats!
