I hate to disagree with every single person on here, but I think "she turned my dad on" is a misheard lyric that Gorillaz sort of grabbed onto and perpetuated. The song seems to be mostly about death to me, thus I've always heard the line as "she turned my DEAD on" (i.e. she made me kill myself? come on.) Now "she turned my dead on" may seem completely incorrect grammatically, but then so does "magic make no sound", so yeah. Add to that the fact that there's no references to father figures anywhere else in the song, or the entire album for that matter, but plenty of references to death and ghosts and zombies and the like. And if you're still not convinced....come on....."she turned my dad on" is just a ridiculous lyric to put in a song, even by Gorillaz standards. Now I could easily be wrong about all this, but I think it at least warrants some consideration. That's my two cents, peace.
@crocodile_smile idk i hear dirt instead of dead or dad idk i was thinking it was about anti depressants/anxiety meds and how they can work like magic but really it just zombifies the addict
