The Gnarls Barkley collaboration didn't bring producer
Danger Mouse to the top of the British charts for the
first time, but it did mark his debut as the pilot of a
hit record. Mouse, born Brian Burton, first gained the
ears of discriminating listeners when he concocted The
Grey Album, a bootleg that mashed the vocals from The
Black Album by Jay-Z with music samples courtesy of The
White Album by EMI flagship the Beatles. Although the
label posted a cease-and-desist order, one of their
employees, Damon Albarn of Blur and Gorillaz, was one of
the impressed, and he hired Burton to create the beats for
the second Gorillaz album, Demon Days. Just one year
later, Danger Mouse was back in the charts with another
collaboration project, Gnarls Barkley, with singer Cee-Lo
Green (a solo artist and former member of Atlanta's Goodie
Mob). The pair had met in Atlanta in the late '90s, and
began recording together around the time of a 2003 DM
record titled Ghetto Pop Life. A few recordings were
passed around and played by many associated with the pair,
and eventually one of the leaked tracks, "Crazy," became a
hot property for the download market. It became the first
single vaulted to the top of the British charts by digital
distribution, and the resulting album, St. Elsewhere,
peaked at number one on the album charts. A follow-up was
not long in coming; The Odd Couple dropped in early 2008.
