- Today we dive into English rock band BLUR. "Parklife" is the title track and third single from their third studio album PARKLIFE released in August 1994. It reached number 10 on the UK Singles Chart and number 30 in Ireland. The song features spoken word in the verses, narrated by actor Phil Daniels.
What Do Ya'll Think ?! - เพลง
I'd say Britpop was the explosion of guitar bands with 60s influences that appeared early to mid 90s. Oasis had a very definate Beatles Influence. Others I'd include were Suede (very Bowie and glammy. My favourites who i think started the movement off but thats my opinion!), Pulp, Elastica, Dodgy, Cast, Sleeper, Echobelly, Shed Seven, Supergrass....so many! Was a very exciting time here in the UK after the darkness of the grunge years and the early 90s dance stuff (both of which I also enjoyed!)
We're Jealous of all the talent over there 🇬🇧 😎
I love Blur. This reminds me of Lazy Sunday Afternoon by Small Faces, another great British band from the 60s.
Beetlebum , the universal ,charmless man worth a listen aswel lads ❤️
Do this whole album. It’s a 5 star album.
5 out of?

As a young American in the early 90s, Blur were a breath of fresh air.
Oooh yes I need a reaction to all of 13, Parklife, and/or Modern Life Is Rubbish! Great stuff :)
Phil Daniels. Quadrophenia. Great film.
Oasis is definitely Britpop, NOT grunge by any stretch of the imagination. Kudos to you guys for choosing this song which is my favorite Blur song and I can’t recall seeing anyone else reacting to this before. I love the “Britishness” of this track. You guys need to check out Stone Roses, The Farm, Inspiral Carpets, Utah Saints, Adamski, just to name other acts from around this period. Inspiral Carpets and Stone Roses in particular. This period was so much more creative in the U.K. than in the U.S. IMO
I agree with you there 😎 much more creative and interesting music in the UK 🇬🇧 back in the 90's ... I'd take Oasis and Blur over Creed and Weezer any day 😁
@@reactionextraction oh hell yeah!
Blur is the greatest britpop band of the uk in the 90's
True but their most popular songs make them seem shallow, there's so much more to Blur
No
"pop" music is and always has referred to "popular music" "Britpop" is literally just British popular music, generally a term only used to describe bands from the early to late 90s though. Blur, Oasis, Pulp and Suede are probably the most well known bands who have their roots in Britpop.
A genius stroke to bring in Phil Daniels - still so easily recognised as the lead in the 1979 classic mods movie Quadrophenia" 😊
Off topic but a young Phil Daniels played the lead character, Jimmy, in the 1979 movie Quadrophenia (an album by the Who) based in 60's Britain in the era of mods and rockers (Sting of the Police also appears!) Great album to be enjoyed as a whole. '5.15' and 'Love reign O'er me' are probably the stand out tracks if you fancy a listen!
The main character in the video for this is the acto phil daniels r from the film Quadrophenia one of Damon Albans favourite films a film about mod subculture one of the influences that drove britpop forward smongst otèrs including dance music and bands from the 60s like the kinks
Nice video! Since you already did Parklife album I recommend you to do songs from their album "13", could be Bugman and Caramel. Trust me, you wouldn't believe those songs are also theirs.
Britpop was more of the culture of the time than an actual musical genre, which is why many of the bands like Oasis, Blur and Suede didn't really sound the same. It came about as a fight against grunge music as more happy and positive kind of tone.
Good To Know 😎
4 british average looking guys(exception being Albarn) making music with guitar in it=Britpop
The video was made in Bradyll street in Greenwich. A lot of the other scenes were filmed in Greenwich , what is now known as NORTH GREENWICH and has been demolished long ago.
Fab
This song is more British than fish and chips haha
I think Blur and Oasis highlighted the class system in Britain very well.
Try Beetlebum next!
More blur!
Some songs you might like to try. Gorillaz Melancholy Hill.
Abba Should I Laugh cry.
The Cure The Caterpillar
Denys Come on Eileen.
What did make a a little differerence between Blur and Oasis, at that time: Blur was alot more self-deprecating.
Looks that way ... blur seem more fun and unique 😎
Thinking back, in retrospective - Blur really weren't any category. At the time sure they were. But now, I think they were just being "Blur". When you mentioned "defining their image to them" I think that was hitting the nail on the head. Early work (1990-94) like "There's No Other Way" and "Girls & Boys" could be categorised as "Britpop", but is still uniquely a Blur sound. Then "The Universal" (1995) happened and this was a beginning of an end for them. More edgier more purely punk/indie. Even so, great songs like "Tender" and "Song 2" happened in their latter half. Damon was always the driving force imo. It felt like he was the most rebellious mind of the band, maybe that was how he got to Gorillaz ? Not sure. When you think of Blur this way... compared to say Oasis who were pure Britpop, they were just ... Blur 😁
They seem to have fun & unique personalities 😎 Fab sound
Blur was a lot more fun that Oasis - Oasis probably had better songs at their peak but Blur ultimately had more variety and depth.
Please do 'Song 2' I think you'll both like it (if you don't know it already?)
Would it be possible to do a full blur album? If so I'd recommend modern life is rubbish or this
Please do beetlebum, song 2 or there's no other way, they probably the easiest songs of theirs to show to new blur fans, blur were a part of my childhood so a lot of their other songs are ingrained into my taste but those 3 above are ones I always go back to
This song was huge back in the day, so catchy and fun. Interesting that you appreciate the humour in this and not so much in Madness! I see so much similarity. Blur and Oasis dispute that there was anomosity between the bands and that was a beat up by the media, either way it did seem you were either one or the other. I appreciated Oasis but got Blur!
I agree Jeremy, they're both unique and awesome in their own way 😎😎
Blur and Oasis respect each other and are friends, but Blur did deliberately choose to release their single on the same day as Oasis, then Oasis moved the release date so they wouldn't clash and Blur moved it to match again. 😂 So Blur were definitely fucking around with Oasis a bit. It was great publicity for both bands though!
Your dad gives me chad smith vibes
The kid looks like he wants to end it.
Blur > Oasis
Phil Daniels > Blur > oasis
Oasis were all macho posturing. Blur and Damon in particular had a lot more attitude and had that snarky witticism. Oasis were too far up their own arse for my liking, Blur could write some epic, meaningful poetic songs but they also knew how to have a laugh.
Worst Blur song to start with, not as it's bad but as it's not an example or what they could do. End of a century, popscene, for tomorrow and more are true Blur
I love blur,but this the worst song they did. 🏴
