message: The infobox lists this as "Britpop". I'd say it closer to Hip Hop. Or maybe just "pop". I mean, De La Soul on a britpop track? Jacoplane 00:37, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'd say it is more Pop than Britpop, When I think of Britpop I think of Blur, the Charlatans UK, the Happy Mondays, or the Psychedelic Furs or anything equally not so popular anywhere other than the british isles. - 69.47.132.138 01:00, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: This is a debatable issue I guess, but the whole "alleged subliminal messages" and "backward speech" malarky doesn't really have a place in the article unless it can be verified beyond any doubt, such is my opinion. I am sure many may disagree.
:Agreed. I can safely say that I've listened to it backwards and heard nothing. Frankly, most, if not all alleged back-masked "subliminal messages" I've ever heard are pretty big stretches, and this is no exception. Unless Damon Albarn comes out and verifies it, I'd say whoever "discovered" this was probably deliberately looking for something to hear, no different than when someone gazes at the clouds and claims they see a giraffe.
Well, someone just put another alleged subliminal message up: As in a few songs, certain words can be heard when Feel Good Inc. is played backwards. During the chorus, the words thought to have been said are "Oh, I hate it all turn back. Remember them all when they went in memory to paradise, and you'd say 'I love everyone and you'. Hold me, it sleeps. I'm so young, ignoring what it is. Let me now have a bit of fun. Remember them all when they went..."'
:This is clearly original research and doesn't belong in the article, unless someone has a notable and verifiable source. Some guy putting it on YouTube and telling us what it says is not going to cut it. MFNickster 03:47, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

:I'm re-removing the lyrics section.  It'd be fine to have a link to a lyric page elsewhere on the 'net, but lyrics are generally not included on song pages. ka1iban 21:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

message: The track can be distinguished by its piano sounding bass lines and the De La Soul voices instead of gorillaz.
...What?? Not trying to offend, but I really don't get what they're saying. First of all, I've watched the live performance and the bass never struck me as sounding like a piano in any way, but that's not important. More importantly is "the De La Soul voices instead of gorillaz" phase. Taken literally, it means De La Soul does the vocals for this song in place of Gorillaz. Obviously, this isn't true, so my next thought was that they meant De La Soul raps in place of Gorillaz, as in: this person thought Del (who essentially was a member Gorillaz) did the rapping in the recorded version of the song and De La Soul replaced him in the live performance. Not true again, so at this point I was thinking maybe it could just be deleted entirely.
Then I thought maybe this person meant you can distinguish between the album version and the live performance because the bass sounds different AND De La Soul is performing live, whereas 2D (or 'gorillaz') sounds like his vocals are mostly taken directly from the recorded version. That's definitely true, but I wasn't so sure if it's something worth noting, so I thought I'd just put this whole thing up for discussion.--Foot Dragoon 09:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Del (as in Del the Funkee Homosapien) is not on this track at all, he was on 'Clint Eastwood', and De La Soul are 3 people. thats all. - 69.47.132.138 00:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

text: The live version sounds mostly like the version performed for the US radio tour, Demon Detour.  But, that person didn't make any sense.  It's been deleted hasn't it? Taylor 11:48, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hung Up/Feel Good Inc. performance 

message: The article currently claims that Feel Good Inc. is a one hit wonder.  This is a pretty big statement to make.  Most people wouldn't call the song a one hit wonder, since it was followed up by DARE.  Dirty Harry and El Manana/Kids With Guns less so, but they still acheived a fair bit.  The edit was made by a (new) user, Mynameismud.  The difference can be seen here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Feel_Good_Inc.&diff=67434372&oldid=67264564
Also, just because other Gorillaz songs didn't get into the US Top 40 doesn't mean it's a WORLDWIDE one-hit wonder.  DARE reached #1 in the UK, which is actually 1 place higher than Feel Good Inc.  Australia has also had a fair response to Gorillaz tracks.  I think that the statement should be deleted but I'd like to ask some other people before I do delete it. Taylor 11:57, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  One hit wonder? I don't think so 

message: When I was in Moscow in summer '06 the movie StormBreaker was released. In the scene where Alex is training in a military camp parts of the song are played in the backround. Should this be noted in the trivia?

message: When 2D is singing Noodle isn't mouthing words to him, she is singing along with him. If you watch very carefully you can see she is singing the chorus windmill windmill for the land.

One of De La's lines (actually mentioned in the main article 'music video' section): 'Don't stop get it, get it' seems to be directly transferred in Fifty Cent's song 'ayo technology' when fifty mutters the exact same line with the exact same emphasis and syncopation.
Could someone confirm the origins of that line, whether they do actually lie in 'Feel Good Inc.' or whether De La tipped their hat to someone else? Copied, used, whatever. It is all too reminiscent of the 2 live crew 'birthday' furore, for me.
I don't think it is an actual rip-off to be covered under copyright (that significant of one) but if someone could find the basis of that line 'Don't stop get it, get it' with the exact lyrical tonal shifts it would be much appreciated. Maybe this is obvious to some but i've scoured my brain and can't trace the phrase back any further.

message: The windmill section of the song sounds an awful lot like the main theme of the Kinks song Sunny Afternoon. Yes, it's original research, but it's clear as day if you listen to them side by side. 76.178.247.180 (talk) 05:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Copy edited this page on 29/05/2013 for clarity and spelling, have condensed the introductory paragraphs of article as they were waffling and too long. I think the section about the music video could be shorter still and if anyone wants to edit the article to include critical reception and/or more info about the music and lyrics of the song that would be great!

message: The text in the article says:
This is the only song in Damon Albarn's career to reach the top 40 on the Billboard Hot 100.
However if you scroll down under "Personnel", Albarn does not show any credits for this song.  He's not listed anywhere in that section as a performer, producer, engineer, or writer. If he's solely taking licensing fees, this doesn't really qualify as "his" song. -Rolypolyman (talk) 20:48, 14 October 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Disregarding the fact that this information is most likely true, it appears to violate WP:SYNTH by combining various sources, i.e. the Billboard entries of Blur, Gorillaz, etc., to reach a conclusion that isn't explicitly stated. (.) Unless there's a source out there that states "Feel Good Inc." is Albarn's only top-40 work, the information would probably be better off not being in the article at all.
