“Clint Eastwood” is Gorillaz’ debut single, taken from their self-titled album Gorillaz, and released in March 2001. It peaked at the #4 in the UK and #57 in the US on September 11, 2001.

The song is a mix of electronic, hip hop and rock with a melodic line similar to the main theme of the classic western film, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (which stars Clint Eastwood, who is not mentioned in the song itself). The verses are rapped by Del tha Funkee Homosapien (Teren Jones), portrayed as a blue phantom in the video, while the chorus is sung by 2D (Damon Albarn).

In some live performances Alternative rappers are used. The original version of the song (Now called the ‘Phi Life Cypher version’) misses out the chorus and uses the UK hip-hop Phi Life Cypher (Also featured on ‘The Sounder’). In 2004 there was a live performance which was reworked and featured De La Soul (also featured on “Feel Good Inc.”) and Bootie Brown (also featured on “Dirty Harry”).

The song has sold 480,000 copies in the UK as stated by the Official UK Charts Company.
