Lil' Dub Chefin'

"Lil' Dub Chefin'" is a single by Spacemonkeyz vs Gorillaz, from the 2002 Gorillaz remix album Laika Come Home. It is sung by Damon Albarn and Terry Hall of the UK ska band the Specials with the song itself being a remix of the Gorillaz song "M1 A1". The song's title is reference to the UK restaurant chain Little Chef. The music video features the Spacemonkeyz. On Phase One: Celebrity Take Down, the video had an alternative intro and credits. The single peaked at No. 73 on the UK Singles Chart.

This track was only performed once on the band's first tour, Gorillaz Live, in 2002 with Terry Hall returning to sing it. Later, it was played live regularly during the last leg of The Now Now Tour as an outro to the original song it remixes, "M1 A1".
