THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
21-Blur-Song 2.
1997-Number 2 single.
Best Bit-At 0.15.This is the 2nd track on the ‘Blur’ Album, its the 2nd track on the greatest hits,it got to Number 2 in the UK, and it lasts 2 minutes, spooky or what?….No,not really.
The song came about after the band were messing about with new ideas in the studio.The groups lead guitarist Graham Coxon at that time was a big fan of American alternative Rock bands such as Pavement and Sonic Youth and it was he who came up with the songs intro.The bands lead singer Damon Albarn was not as big a fan and made up any old lyrics as a guide for the song. In a way this song has a satisfactory ending for both Coxon and Albarn, as Coxon got his wish to record a classic American sounding Rock song, and Albarn could poke fun at the genre with nonsensical lyrics.
Blur (see also best songs 256) maybe one of the biggest bands to have ever come out of the UK, but in America they remain obscure, with this song being their only success in the States from being played on Alternative Rock and College Radio stations.The song is often referred to as the ‘Whoo-Hoo’ song.
‘I got my head checked by a jumbo jet, it wasn’t easy but nothing is no.’
