Gnarls Barkley

With Gnarls Barkley, you expect the unexpected, so it's no wonder that the lead single from the highly anticipated Odd Couple album foregoes the blockbuster formula. Danger Mouse's hopped-up '60s soul boogie sounds likes Sam and Dave's "Hold on, I'm Coming" shot out of a canon, while Cee Lo's rushed lines and the flanged background vocals make this a frantic short fuse of a ditty. Time will tell if it sticks, but this is as viscerally exciting as anything they've done.
