Noodle is then shown joyfully skipping along, almost as if she is completely unaware of her surroundings, and in her playful skipping, she delivers a hard kick to one of the zombie gorillas in the face. He then turns and glares at them out of frustration at his inability to escape, and the zombie apes engage in a bizarre dance routine before Murdoc is finally struck by lightning this dance routine is similar to the choreography of Michael Jackson's music video "Thriller." Murdoc immediately flees at the sight of them, with a number of them pursuing him. Seconds later, the zombie gorillas themselves rise up. Murdoc is grabbed by the crotch and pulled to the ground, a reference to the Peter Jackson zombie film Braindead.
Shortly afterwards, zombie gorilla hands rise up from the ground. He begins to rap, leaving the other band members dumbfounded, and the backdrop slowly develops dark clouds in the sky, and enormous tombstones start to burst out of the ground, and the scene becomes that of a cemetery, as a shower of rain and thunderstorm begins. Russel's cap then begins to mysteriously rise on its own, and the ghost of Del appears to be emerging from under it. 2-D is seen wearing a T-Virus shirt most likely referencing Resident Evil. The band is seen playing their music against a completely white backdrop.

An interpolation of the yell from the film's theme song, in particular that film's protagonist Tuco's leitmotif, can be heard at the beginning of the video, followed by sinister laughter from Murdoc. The video and song name is a reference to the famous western starring actor Clint Eastwood, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. This phrase was deemed offensive in some countries and a censored version was produced that omits this intro. The people it kills, get up and kill" in Japanese then in English. It starts with the Gorillaz logo in red against a black screen, and the following quote from the 1978 film Dawn of the Dead: "Every dead body that is not exterminated, gets up and kills. The animated music video was directed by Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland. The Gorillaz's first hit single Clint Eastwood was released on March 5th 2001 on their self-titled album.
