10 iconic Gorillaz moments
Monkey business
Refusing to allow Glee to cover Gorillaz tracks despite not being asked
In October 2010 Damon Albarn made the step the publicly announce that US musical TV show Glee would not be granted permission to cover Gorillaz tracks. It’s a decision that made sense, given that Glee turned out to be a flash in the pan phenomenon with about as much cultural credibility as an Ed Sheeran DJ set. The thing is, Glee hadn’t actually approached Gorillaz to ask. We love that Albarn felt necessary to state this emphatically regardless. And we love his wry response to the confusion even more: “And now they definitely won’t!”
