35 Iconic Gorillaz Lyrics to Use as Your Next Instagram Caption

Gorillaz isn't quite like any other band on the planet—and maybe that's what's kept them so relevant for almost 25 years.

The virtual band was formed by Blur singer-songwriter Damon Albarn and visual artist Jamie Hewlett, consisting mostly of four animated fictional characters. Of course, that hasn't stopped them from taking the world by storm with their genre-melding fusion of rock music with hip-hop, electronica and more. If you love the group as much as we do, just keep scrolling for some of their all-time best lyrics to use as your next Instagram caption.
