Plastic Beach is the thirteenth track from Gorillaz' third studio album album Plastic Beach, featuring Mick Jones and Paul Simonon.
Band member Murdoc Niccals stated the following about "Plastic Beach" in a track-by-track commentary:
"It’s a special moment for fans of Gorillaz and The Clash. How did this come about? Well, I had commandeered Paul Simonon from The Good, The Bad And The Queen. And it made sense.
Gorillaz were always influenced by The Clash. They were always my favourite band, I loved how they took the heart and soul of punk and reggae smeared it in London graffiti and paint and then sailed it round the world. I don’t think that’s a million miles from what Gorillaz do now."
Lyrics[1][]
To the dark dark seas
Comes the only whale
Watching ships go by
It's the daily routine round here
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's automated computer speak
It's automated computer speak
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's a casio
Did they haul you out
On a really hot day?
When the call got made
You had gone away
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's automated computer speak
It's automated computer speak
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's a casio
Plastico, plastico, plastico green green glow
Plastico, plastico, plastico
Plastico, plastico, plastico green green glow
Plastico, plastico, plastico
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's styrofoam deep sea landfill
It's automated computer speak
It's automated computer speak
It's a casio on a plastic beach
It's a casio
