The Soul Child Remix came along with "19/2000" (also written "19-2000", and known as "Get the Cool Shoeshine") when Gorillaz put the song out as the second single from their self-titled 2001 debut, on Parlophone that June, and it's a ground-up rebuild rather than a quick polish.
Damien Mendis was asked to remix something from the album in hopes of crossover, the trick the Ed Case remix of "Clint Eastwood" had pulled, and was handed the virtual band's demos and finished tracks with orders to find a hit. He only made up his mind once he heard that Jamie Hewlett was already making a "19/2000" video. Mendis produced the new version with Stuart Bradbury, a long way from the Dan the Automator production, and the single went to number six in the UK and spent a week at number one in New Zealand.
