What is the music called?

I like how they incorporated some of the Olympic sports in the actions of the 3 characters. Pig throwing monster: looks like that sport where you throw weights. Shot put?Pig jumps hurdles while running downhill and does a high jump with the aid of his pole. Monkey throws his baton like a javelin and Pig does gymnastics on it. The Green guy does a martial art stance, does a kick that resembles something I've seen in football/soccer, and then does a high dive with little splash.

Well I looked it up on the WIKI and the people listed in the video description are the people who make Gorillaz. Can't say I'm surprised.

It kind of looks like it's made by the same people who make the Gorillaz videos.

The music leaves a little to be desired.
