The 'DoYaThing' official music video from the [Gorillaz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/true-originals) featuring Andre 3000 and James Murphy is completely odd and highly captivating.

How would one react if their morning toast popped out of the toaster and flew right into a bowl of severed ears? How would their perception change if this happened in a kitchen in which masked individuals were lounging in the cupboards and even the refrigerator? And how much further could one's bewilderment stretch if I added that there was an angry zombie in a wheelchair-assisted lift trying to make it down the stairs? These are all elements on the DoYaThing official music video which depicts the [morning rituals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-toast-between-legends) of 2-D.

With a ton of respectable work under their belt and recent rumors of a break up circulating, the Gorillaz return to glory in a way that is modern, entertaining and warmly welcomed by fans.
