Democrazy is a 2003 vinyl-only double EP by Damon Albarn, frontman of British rock band Blur, the animated group Gorillaz and most recently the unnamed band behind the album titled "The Good, the Bad and the Queen". Albarn recorded these songs, which are little more than demos, during the US leg of Blur's tour for Think Tank in various hotel rooms. He then decided to issue the result, on 8 December that year, in a double 10" vinyl set on his Honest Jon's label that was said to be limited to 5000 copies (although this figure is probably too low). On 22 December Albarn showcased the demos at a live gig in London's Neighbourhood club. One of the songs, "I Need a Gun", was extended and performed as "Dirty Harry" by Gorillaz on their album Demon Days. The track "A Rappy Song" has often been mis-labeled as a Gorillaz' track featuring Bootie Brown & Cee-Lo Green, however the song is little more than a remix made by a fan.
