19-2000 (Soulchild Remix) is a remix made by British remix and production duo Soulchild, consisting of Damien Mendis and Stuart Bradburyand, of the song 19-2000 by Gorillaz. The remix was initially released as a b-side track to the single release of 19-2000 and was later featured as a bonus track on certain reissues of the band's self-titled debut album, as well as, subsequently, the first track from their first compilation album, G-Sides.

It is significantly faster than the original mix and became the best-known version of the song, receiving the greatest share of airplay in the UK and Europe. An alternate version of the 19-2000 Music Video was issued using the remix as its soundtrack instead.

Lyrics[]

It's the music that we choose
It's the music that we choose
It's the music that we choose
It's the music that we choose
Body Movin'
It's the music that we choose
It's the music that we choose
It's the music that we choose
It's the music that we choose

The world is spinning too fast
I'm buyin' lead Nike shoes
To keep myself tethered
To the days I tried to lose

My mama said to slow down
You must make your own shoes
Stop dancing to the music
Of Gorillaz in a happy mood

Body Movin'
Keep a mild groove on

They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
Body Movin'
Keep a mild groove on
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
Here you go!

Get the cool!

Get the cool shoe shine!

There's a monkey in the jungle
Watching a vapour trail
Caught up in the conflict
Between his brain and his tail

And if time's elimination
Then we've got nothing to lose
Please repeat the message
It's the music that we choose

Body Movin'
Keep a mild groove on

They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
Body Movin'
Keep a mild groove on
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
They do the bump
(It's the music that we choose)
