Interesting facts and trivia about Sex Murder Party (feat. Jamie Principle & Zebra Katz). By Songfacts®.

Gorillaz tunesmith Damon Albarn recruited Chicago house singer Jamie Principle for this song. His 1984 original version of "Your Love" is cited by many as the first-ever house track.

Principle recalled the story of the song to Q Magazine: "We were having lunch and Damon was reading this article which mentioned the words sex, murder and party, so we thought it would be a wicked song to do. (Producer) Twilite Tone came up with a Beat and we started putting it together. Damon wants you just to be yourself and put your personality into the music."

The dark, alternative US rapper Zebra Katz spits the second verse. He recalled: "I heard what Jamie had lay down and then I wrote something and bounced ideas around in the studio. The only other experience I've had like that was working at Rick Rubin's studio. It was a really open, fun, encouraging environment to be who I was and say what I need to say."
