"Cause I'm a punk rocker, yes I am..." Reminiscing the past lives of Gnarls Barkley, our super heroes - CeeLo Green & Danger Mouse.

It's always interesting to see how much the superhero theme and cinema in general influenced CeeLo's carreer. Mouse's is not so far away too. The Odd Couple - a direct refference to cinema, but also the whole heroic plot of "Crazy". Hell, even the single "Mystery Men" is fully inspired in a super hero - full of mundane problems.

Green's passion for cinema and television is also not a secret; his 2015's mixtape - TV on the Radio - expresses it very well. But even his other mixtape, the 2010's "Stray Bullets" dedicates tracks to develop even more CeeLo's multiverse, with "Super Woman Theme Song".

What about "The Lady Killer", 2010? Also a classic Bond soundtrack. CeeLo already clarified: When he makes music, he is thinking of a score, a soundtrack, more than a song in itself.

"Like Luke Skywalker finding out who his father is, Han Solo getting frozen in carbonite, or even Jonah ending up in the belly of the whale, every hero has to be dragged into darkness before he can emerge in triumph. Your very own supernatural hero was no different." Green, CeeLo. Everybody's Brother (p. 155).

Every hero has a theme song - CeeLo starts in the 13th track of Stray Bullets. Truth is, CeeLo is full of theme songs, soundtracks, requiems and beautiful scores. From his humble beginnings, in the Dirty South, to luxury, late days. Oh yes, Goodie Mob has also it's fair pieces of soundtrack, or even theme songs. Still Standing (1998), with the homonym track, but also the late "Father Time", from Age Against the Machine, or "Frontline", from Survival Kit... But i love to think that Goodie Mob alligns more with an antihero character, than a hero group. Our very own Not-so-Goodie-Mob.

But one thing is to pay homage to a hero, another thing is to be one. Gnarls Barkley is an alterego, an out of body experience; someone else. A duo. A hero. Crazy times call for crazy heroes. Glad we had 'em. Hoping for more soon. 🌠🔥

My heroes had the heart To lose their lives out on a limb And all I remember Is thinking, I want to be like them —Gnarls Barkley, “Crazy”
