Weird Genius Stuff...Who, What Is GNARLS BARKLEY Really?...I Know, I Know

by Pat Guiney cc
A few days ago, when looking for a video for another post and I ran across this very weird video called 'GNARLS BARKLEY: 'Smiley Faces' [thanks DowntownRec] This is what that video page say:  "Uploaded on Jan 5, 2007
The 3rd single from Gnarls Barkley St. Elsewhere, nominated for 5 Grammy awards. 
"You are the best. You are the worst. You are average. Your love is a part of you. You try to give it away because you cannot bear its radiance, but you cannot separate it from yourself. To understand your fellow humans, you must understand why you give them your love. You must realize that hate is but a crime-ridden subdivision of love. You must reclaim what you never lost. You must take leave of your sanity, and yet be fully responsible for your actions." -Gnarls Barkley, in a letter to the legendary rock critic Lester Bangs

....I'd posted this VERY video before on this site..BARTLETT ON BASS before, but couldn't find it again now. It's strange and mysterious.  I thought it was fun and kinda weird But, I wanted to know more...just the point, I wanted to see more...it's very clever GNARLS BARKLEY.

I'd seen that face and heard that voice before, why it is CEE LO GREEN's and HERE face, isn't it.., that's the only clue that I had, so I started to search again today for more info., this is what I found... I LIKED this guy..these guys? The very first tune that I remember of Gnarls Barkley was called 'Crazy', [thanks MrElculver2424]..was that another clue? I wondered.  Just as I had hoped, it was another clue and a post was shaping up at the same time..wonderful. But, it was taking me along time...I just loved the music and videos that I found,.. and kept playing them over and over...ALL of them so entertaining. Finally, I went to WIKIPEDIA and read more.
'GNARLS BARKLEY' was NOT a person, just like the very first mysterious video said above...it is a 'duo, band, group, or bunch' and is/are made up of Cee Lo Green, a singer/songwriter, who's real name is Thomas DeCarlo Callaway and a music producer named Brian Joseph Burton, and he is professionally known as 'DANGER MOUSE' and HERE. They are called a 'hip-hop' duo...WOW, I like it--hip-hop, I mean...if it's what Gnaryls Barkley does...yes, I do. These guys are fun and clever. Another place on Wikipedia listed them as doing Soul, R & B, Funk, Altnative Rock and Indie Rock...anyway, whatever we call it, I like it. Here's some reasons why....Besides having a great sound, and interesting meaningful lyrics...well, they...they...well...
This quote says it best: From Wikipedia who are quoting a BILLBOARD article. " "Burton and Cee Lo have been cagey about what the name of the act means, and each live performance is an opportunity to play dress-up as tennis players, astronauts and chefs, among many other get-ups. The costuming extends to photo shoots, as Burton and Cee Lo would rather impersonate characters from such films as Back to the Future or Wayne's World"...yep, they are fun, and with all those costumes and characters new with every song and/or video, it is not just a song or video anymore But, A Complete SHOW.
I've posted several video links below of Gnarls Barkley and also Cee Lo Green as a solo act...listen to those tunes, and watch the show. Jan
