About Blur:
Blur were formed in 1989 by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree and signed with Food/EMI the same year. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, Blur continued to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with second release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). Five successive UK #1 albums followed - with Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995) helping to propel the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. The eponymous Blur was released in 1997 and seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three-piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon.
Twenty one years after the release of their debut album, 2012 saw Blur 21: The Box, the band's body of work compiled and gathered together into one box. Their most recent release as a four-piece, the critically acclaimed chart-topping album The Magic Whip (2015), started life in Hong Kong when the band had an unexpected break in touring in May 2013.

Nirvana - makes a song to mock pop music, becomes their most famous song
Blur- makes a song too mock Nirvana, becomes their most famous song
I'm sensing a pattern here
Brb gonna go make a song mocking Blur
@@thepotatochipbag3801yeah let’s make song 3 and live off the royalties
Damon Albarn- makes a band called Gorillaz to mock MTV style fake corpo bands.
@blue-cs3fk smells like teen spirit wasnt made to mock anything it is an amazing song but its basically just bunch of sounds whole group thought sounded good its probably the song they put the least effort into making. Thats why blur was mocking it in the first place
And then we have this country gem lol:

I like that youtube understands WHOOOOHOOO song
Jaja. Yo busqué Wuju song y me apareció lo que buscaba xb
Occasionally I come listen to this song just because it took me almost 15yrs to find it. FYI TH-cam nor Google knew wtf "whoo hoo song" was back in the day. Sad times.
I'm write "уху" on Russian and youtube sent me here
¯\_ (ツ) _/¯
😂
"харакири" Егор летов. Plagiarism :) USSR The best
the youtube's algorithm is insane
I search this like " woooo hoooo" and is the exactly song i looking for
Same 😂
The algorithm knows more about you than yourself! Trust me 😂
I found this song by searching Google for the most annoying song ever forced upon the people of Earth, and here I am. If I am ever kidnapped by a foreign enemy and they want to get me to talk and spill any secrets I know about the U.S. government, they could just force me to listen to this song, and I'd spill my guts. A song this bad could force me to throw my own country to our enemies. That's how bad it is. It's like if you took a wooden pole, and somehow mounted 7 billion sets of fingernails on it, and dragged it across a giant chalkboard for eternity. I would rather hear THAT, than this song. I would rather have someone pluck each one of my pubes REALLY slowly, so that by the time they finished, the first few would have already grown back so they could just do it again, than have to suffer even hearing 10 seconds of this song. If you put me in a room with a stereo and a puppy, and told me my choices were to kick the puppy, or listen to the cd of this song on the radio, I'd probably listen to the song, because I could NEVER hurt a dog, but I would resent that dog for forcing me to listen to this song. Did I mention I don't like this song? :)

I'm pretty sure Song 1 is Beetlebum and Song 3 is County Sad Ballad Man. There...all better now.

Still remember listening to this song in FIFA 98
Best fifa ever
I had a year 4 teacher who would get us to wear our hats backwards and rock out on our rulers, glue sticks or drum the desk with pens to this song. He was such a great teacher. We had to get our work done but he did fun things like this and we all loved him.
He also helped me with a problem I had with OCD perfectionism.

Hail to the king Damon
So true lol
tell me this does not apply on this song
@@emircanakdeniz7037 it actually does lol
As you do
Ironically, this song was a piss take on American Grunge, but ended up being the biggest hit they ever had in America.
Yeah, it sounds nothing like their other songs
It was a hit, but definetly not the biggest hit they ever had. Still cool song
It's like those TH-cam guys that teach you how to make a "hit song" but they actually do it
Wataaa! Yes it is nothing comes close to this song lol. Literally only song that’s popular.
Lucas Fox um, Parklife and girls and boys are very popular. Even Beetlebum and the universal are well know Blur hits
I love the bass player still standing while everyone is falling to the side, he's too cool that shit
Bass player aint having Damon albarn's bullshit 😂
It's the year 2024 and the crowd in Coachella went "who tf are these british guys?". Damon quipped "We're not coming here again."
A Brit-Pop band who's one US hit was a mockery of Nirvana. Playing in Southern California in-between two classic Southern California bands. What could go wrong?
Who were they sandwiched between ?

Poor Albarn, imagine trying to mock Nirvana, making this song as a pure joke but then it becomes the most popular one...
God damnit Cartman!
Proved him right in a way
it called suffering from success
It's a good song tho
Blur wasn’t mocking Nirvana but the general grunge movement in the States, Damon himself said “I mean, Nirvana were not disgusting, but in their wake was just the most awful shit”
This is basically a song that sounds like you are like a combination of calm and absolut chaos. *_i love it_*
I like the song. It still connects even up till today
Seems like everybody found out that this song is sarcastic in last 2 months and now want to spread that knowledge in the comment section
Yes.
lots of geniuses in here
So what?, fuck you old creepy guys
I really hate the comment sections when people repeat the other people's comments over and over again. You can see that in newest pop videos
Indeed. We knew this 20 years ago.
Smells like Blur Spirit
Yeah!!!! And the beginning its so edentical
Hell yeah
God damn that was really fucking clever, holy shit you should be a god damn writer. Holy shit

I had this exact thought. Two seconds later I read this comment 😳
mixed with lil weezer
That's the point
Great song, band, and back story. Listened in youth and still in 2024
Literally loved this song at Coachella today. Rocked.
The lead singer sounds like he can go on to form a band with amazing animation possibly naming it after an animal of the jungle
catoncrack _ How oddly specific! I could see it happening.
It did!!!
Gorillaz!
Ah ah ah but damn youth of today don t know it we can understand
Maybe something like ape or something
This song is a sarcastic mockery of how Americans made rock sound in those times with meaningless sounds and lyrics, ironically it was a hit in the United States
There aren't coincidences...
my grammar is bad asf
It was a hit everywhere, twat, and it's also the only Blur song anyone remembers.
@Not so Wealthy Gamer Smells Like Teen Spirit isn't really meaningless though, its about how it feels being a teenager.
@Not so Wealthy Gamer Nirvana was one of the most pathetic bands on earth. if Kurt was still alive, no one would call the any good at all. I once thought: oh, so they actually did one good song? no, wait a minute. this is a Bowie cover.
Happy Birthday Damon!
Bringing the fire! 🔥 This band's energy is contagious! 💥 Can't help but rock out to their tunes! 🤘
The identity of song 1 is one of humanity's greatest mysteries.
Song 1 in area 51
It's the first song ever played, probably a caveman hitting some rocks against one another
I would guess BEETLEBUM is Song 1, since it’s the first song on the 1997 album. This is the second.
One by Metallica
The Swagga
Still waiting for song 3.
song #3- stone sour.....................thank me later
bryce McKnight
Half life 3
Probally valve have some influence
ranomgamer dammit i was just gonna make that joke ;____;
lol
The song is also stuck in my head for every day
I still remember , I listened to this song on a THIERRY HENRY SKILLS VIDEO ON TH-cam . It’s been more than 12 years and still listening to this classic
The fact that this is the only song by blur that hit in the US and it's basically a parody of grunge, it's so fucking funny.
Maybe not so funny when you're trying to follow it up, but can't match it. Also years later when you realize tons of people never could find your song and buy your album because you called it "Song 2" lol
Yeah, it's funny
😅
You can't get better than grunge. It's the best part of heavy metal
And remember sporting events? When those were a thing this song seemed to be pretty popular for those.
Other people search : "Blur - Song 2"
Me : "Woo-Hoo"
I had to sound hound the song at work so I didn't have to look it up like that

I remember going to the menu and just listen to this song over and over again
That's where I first heard this song. Real banger. And I wasn't even a rock fan.
Starting my Friday off with this retro banger up the mags
Left brain: "This song was meant as a joke and sounds nothing like Blur's other material. They're so much more diverse than this."
Right brain: "WOO-HOO."
It wasn’t necessarily made it be a parody of grunge, but it was a joke for their label, they didn’t actually expect the label to like it.
Some more background with guitarist Graham Coxon
/watch?v=OEy5LBHq6OQ
This song failed as a parody when it started off with the most satisfying drums, amazing riff, the best sounding "woohoo" and the crunchiest guitar ever made.
yes ikr. the fact that they were trying to make fun of heavy metal/rock music but ended being one of the most iconic rock songs is crazy.
Just like that punks parody by Fecal Matter
That "crunchy" guitar is actually the bass.

When you realise that this dude also founded the Gorilaz and wrote Feel Good Inc. Damon Albarns an underappreciated legend
He's very appreciated in the uk at least.
Other way around, for me. Found out about Gorillaz first
Don't forget his score work. "Ravenous" is one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

One of the most iconic and memorable songs, probably in the history of the universe, and what did they call it?
Song 2
i think their mocking how alot of artists/labels always put the hit song as the second track, right after the intro song to kinda reel in listeners. Its distasteful to put the main single deep in the album, and you'd lose listeners putting the peak song first y'know. Song 2 basically meaning ''the single you know''
TebowJitt According to Wikipedia, Song 2 was just a working title as they didn't have an actual name for it, but then they just left it at that.
