“Going On” by Gnarls Barkley
From the album The Odd Couple (2008)
“Going On” by Gnarls Barkley appears on 5 radio countdowns from 5 stations between 2008 and 2009. It was first released in 2008 on the album The Odd Couple. Its best result is #52 on the KSLG Top 94 of 2008. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #293 alternative song of 2008 and #7,683 alternative song of all time.
"Going On" was the second single off The Odd Couple, the 2008 album that followed up Gnarls Barkley's debut, and it came after "Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)". It's an upbeat, bouncing mix of hip-hop and blues, stitched together around a snippet of "Folder Man" by Please that loops all the way through. Brian Burton and CeeLo Green share the writing credit with Peter Dunton, Daniele Luppi arranged it, Josh Klinghoffer drops in on bass, and I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni add choir vocals.
It only ever came out as a promotional single, but it got around anyway: a nomination for Best Pop Performance at the 2009 Grammy Awards, spots in the video games NBA 2K9 and NBA 2K16, and a Puma commercial for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, "The Journey of Football", starring Ghana's national team.
