"I'll make mince-meat out of that (beat) Mouse!"
“Mince Meat” has a '60s James Bond feel, but it took Doom back to the '60s and '70s series The Underdog Show. “‘Mince Meat’ has a catchphrase by Klondike Kat, ‘I'll make mincemeat out of that mouse!’ — that's Klondike Kat talking to Savoir Faire,” Doom says. Doom changed it to “I'll make mincemeat out of that beat mouse” to add a little jab intended for his fellow producer.

"Danger Mouse will be waiting for me, Afro intact"
The Afro awaits.
”Of course. It’s an enigma, if you will. It’s a monster. It’s a noun. It’s a person, place and thing, you know what I’m saying?” ”So when I’m emotionally able to go back in that hole in the wall, I’ll go back in there. And Danger Mouse will be waiting for me, afro intact.” Since the release of their hugely successful debut album, the two members of Gnarls Barkley have led very different careers. A celebrated producer, Danger Mouse formed one half of Broken Bells with The Shins’ James Mercer. Cee-Lo Green, meanwhile, has become an instantly recognisable pop star. Asked if there were creative differences, the singer explained that the two artists were opposites who complimented each other. ”We have an awful lot in common. He’s a very funny guy. You wouldn’t know it. He’s very smart” explained the soulful singer. ”I’ve described Danger Mouse on a few occasions as a picket fence around my garden of wildflowers, can you dig it? Makes sense.”

Last night at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards, Danger Mouse finally got what he deserved: a trophy for Producer Of The Year. He beat out Rob Cavallo, Dr. Luke, RedOne, and The Smeezingtons.
Ironically, one of the Smeezingtons, Bruno Mars, is one of the writers of Cee-Lo's Grammy-nominated hit, "Fcku You".
