Tarantula

About Tarantula

Gorillaz recorded "Tarantula" for Cracker Island. It's the most romantic track on the album, but there's no mention of any spiders in the lyric. According to Spotify's Storyline of the song, when Damon Albarn, co-creator of the virtual band, arrived at Montevideo Airport on the first day of Gorillaz's South American tour, he saw a tarantula walking about at baggage claim. The large hairy spider inspired this song. "It's a very beautiful creature," he said. "A simple thing that charms you." .
