In the beginning of 2007, Gnarls Barkley toured across the USA with the well known rockers and jokers Red Hot Chilly Peppers. They have already aped such blockbusters as The Star Wars, Men In Black, Austin Powers, Fight Club, A Clockwork Orange and many others. The musicians are noticeable for their scene behavior - their every performance is a scrupulously elaborated and spectacular show, where both Gnarls Barkley members and their backing band dress in the costumes of popular films' characters. Elsewhere, released after Crazy, amused the listeners with Danger Mouse's wizardry fantasy and immensely pleasant, eclectic vocals by Cee-Lo Green. Such astonishing success can be compared only to the popularity of Bohemian Rhapsody by the marvelous Queen in 1975, and a couple of other super hits. This song, combining seemingly contrasting styles, led the British chart for nine weeks.
In spring of 2006, this song became the first one in the musical history to head the British hit parade being available only for digital download. The famous Crazy single was their first duet work. They decided to collaborate immediately and chose the title for their project - Gnarls Barkley. The musicians initially met in 2003, due to their work. He later worked with Gorillaz over their disc Demon Days, which got the Grammy. He caught the eye of the audience with his bootleg record The Grey Album, daringly mixing the music of White Album by legendary rockers The Beatles and The Black Album by Jay-Z. DJ Brian Danger Mouse Burton was known in the USA as an excellent producer. By his meeting with Danger Mouse, he recorded two albums already - one in 2002 and the other in 2004. He left this collective too and started a solo career. Green, the former member of hip-hop command Dungeon Family, later sang with Goodie Mob. By the moment of their acquaintance, both musicians were rather famous in musical industry. The Gnarls Barkley band is the prodigy of DJ Brian Danger Mouse Burton and neo-soul and hip-hop singer Thomas Callaway, performing under the pseudonym Cee-Lo Green.
