Doncamatic
"Doncamatic" is a single by British alternative band Gorillaz. The track features British singer Daley.

Music video
The music video premiered worldwide on 15 November 2010 on Myspace. The video features a live-action Daley in a one-man submarine, on his journey to join Gorillaz and the rest of the collaborators on Plastic Beach. 2D, dressed as a sailor, can be seen on a small screen inside the submarine during the "talk to me" portions of the song, as if he is trying to contact Daley. Daley travels all around the ocean to find Plastic Beach, seeing different kinds of fish, even the Superfast Jellyfish like in the "On Melancholy Hill" music video, also featured in Stylo, and Superfast Jellyfish. He also finds the wreckage of the M. Harriet. At the end of the video, he travels around the island underwater and rises up on the surface, finally arriving at Plastic Beach. The track's title refers to the Korg Disc Rotary Electric Auto Rhythm Machine Donca Matic DA-20. It was the very first rhythm machine manufactured by Korg. A later version of this machine can be seen built onto the right side of the contraption behind Daley.

Download me
Make up for the time you've wasted
Come slowly
And claim back the boy you left behind
Close the white book
Unplug the brain from the game
'Cause it's time to wipe out
Til the stars
Get on the fame
The song is not the same when we're
All played out, played out, all played out
They said the memories
All play out, fade out, all played out
Tell me did you feel that?
Don't slow down
Even if it's only to escape
Just download now
Before somebody steals your place man
Close the white book
Unplug the brain from the game
'Cause it's time to wipe out
Til the stars
Get on the fame
And the conversation's over
We're all played out, played out, all played out
(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)
You see the memories
All fade out, fade out, all played out
(Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me)
Tell me did you feel that?
