Man Research (Clapper)

Man Research (Clapper) is the sixth track on Gorillaz' 2001 album "Gorillaz".

Recording
Russel Hobbs mentioned that the track had a real hallucinogenic quality to it. Murdoc added to this comment that it sounded as if someone had been at the ether bottle that day.

2-D layered up a collage of vocals which created his own call-and-response anthem, bouncing between jubilant falsetto and a knackered-out croak.

The song opened on a backdrop of crickets and an intro reminiscent of The Clash's "Straight To Hell" and then went into the middle of a swampy lysergic dub.
