#in-universe... does Russel not know how to drum in anything other than 4/4? cus it fucking feels like it

[dracolizardlars]

bc I've watched a couple videos about weird time signatures in videogame music recently. youtube recommended me a video titled something like "Songs in 5/4 Time" and the thing is THE THING IS. 2-D GORILLAZ IS ON THE THUMBNAIL (alongside I think Taylor Swift and some other fucking pop musicians idk). So IMMEDIATLY I'm like oh shit there's a gorillaz song in-

oh my god.

oh my FUCKING GOD.

See.. I took it as personal challenge, I stuck the video in my Watch Later and have spent the day trying to figure out for myself which Gorillaz song is in 5/4, been listening to all their singles / well known tracks cus I figured it would be one of those to get mentioned in a video like that that was clearly about pop music, and every. single. song. is so clearly and aggressively in perfect, pure 4/4 time

but the thing is

I thought "I'm familiar with Gorillaz' entire catalogue, I should be able to guess! :)"

BUT I'M NOT.

I don't like their DEBUT ALBUM very much so I haven't listened to it in YEARS

I FORGOT THERE'S A FUCKING TRACK CALLED 5/4

edit: I just noticed today's date is 5/4 in my country's format. this is completely coincidental. swear to god those numbers are haunting me
