30 y old😳😱👀👀👀. Whaat the fuuuuck😂. I was huge brit pop fan. Well I still am. Best music era was 90's. My fave band was, and is Oasis. It was 96 when I heard this for the first time. I was almost 14 y. In autumn i'm gonna be 41 y😱😱👀. Where the time goes. I just don't get it🤷. After this era music has been nothing more than shit.
The Britpop years of the 90’s were fantastic!! This was a much needed sound to come out cause the radio stations here in the states were dominated by nothing but grunge bands. Bands like Blur, Verve, and Oasis were a much welcomed break from all that stuff. I loved every second of it.

For a long time PARK LIFE was left written on a side road. Legend is the Band drank at the pub and catered for Alex's love of cheese, so much so for 2 decades the pub had a Glass Cheese counter at the end of the bar.

Love this song - it gives me a sense of enormous well-being, and then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it
You could also have got that same feeling by putting your trousers on (presumably no other clothes), having a cup of tea, and thinking about leaving the house - then feeding pigeons and sparrows when you do.
+Long Rat because of Damon Albarn mainly, I think. He has such a sincere, innocent, charming, quirky, adventuresome, silly sweetness about him that's just magnetic, and makes you smile in the most giddy, gushy way, and then be happy for the rest of the day. Cheers :)
Went to the 8th july Wembley show with my dad. Damon and phil andthe absolute energy from the croud was so incredible. Best concert ive ever been to possibly the best night of my life
I was wearing my Gorillaz shirt around the house that I bought at a market over the weekend and my parents got all excited, asked me who the lead singer is, I said Damon and now they are blasting Parklife through the hOUSE AT 8:00 PM WHAT DO I DO
Love the 90s. Music took risks. Different approaches to what a song could be. Which helped produce classics like Blur. Less commercial formula. More creativity
The difference between today's music and the 1990s is that maybe a record label decides to give you this opportunity if you get lucky then they stifle you until you want to die. Today it doesn't matter if you are taking risks or not, if the algorithm isn't feeling it, you die. And the algorithm is nebulous and intangible unlike some AOR guy who might like your sound. It's why songs from 20-30 years ago become prominent again, the algorithm cares only about retention. Everyone is niche with no leverage except artists and bands who were popular pre-2015 or so
I know this is from ten months ago, but blur is the furthest thing from underrated. pretty much one of the biggest bands in the nineties. but you probably already know that by now ig
Great voiceover by the great Phil Daniels. Love this Blur classic, which rings true since my bin collection is Wednesdays which unfortunately i sometimes do get rudely awakened by the dustman. I even sometimes feed the pigeons and sparrows too.
This is one of my favourite songs by Blur. It has such an ear catchy tune & the lyrics are unmistakably British 100%! Each time I hear this song on BBC Radio 2 I just have to crank up the volume on the radio at work, home or in my car to sing along & enjoy it!
I'm from Taiwan. Parklife was my very first CD purchase when I was 12. Ever since then I've been wanting to visit the UK. Actually we were planning to visit this year but the goddamn pandemic ruined it!

I am a massive Burnley fan. Me and my best mate used to go to Burnley home and away regardless of distance.

funny thing is at 3:07 you can tell they filmed this on such a bad day because they needed to put a blue tint over the top of the video, this laps over the guys fingers and later in his hair.
Got to thank Blur for this. I finally got my father to acknowledge music can be modern and good. He loved Phil Davies and so had to concede that this was top boplocks. He’s still watches that episode of Luther when Davies gets secretly murdered on a bus
I've recently invested in life insurance, which has made me reflect on death and the irony of life. I was thinking, if there was one track I'd like to be played at my funeral, I think it would be this. It would definitely cheer everyone up while I was taken to my final resting place. God I love this song. It's things like this that makes it feel good to be alive.
I grew up in the 90s and this video still brings a tear to my eye with how authentic it is to what Britain was like. Every class you went to the teacher would be like, "Parklife" and look like Damon Albarn. Then after school you'd dance in the street, chase the ice cream van and fuck up Phil Daniel's car. Well mint memories.
If you’re ever trying to explain Britishness to an American, show them this video. Or maybe One Step Beyond by Madness. Being British is 25% banter, 25% laughing at ourselves, 25% alcoholism and 25% cruel biting sarcasm.

I remember being very bored and worst for wear in an underground nightclub in Bath in the early 90s. What used to play indie music, gave way to rave music. Once Brit Pop hit the airwaves, the club changed its DJ who tried to keep everyone happy. As soon as the opening riff of Parklife came blasting out over the loudspeakers, everything came to life again. It’s memories like these … where you were when you first heard a song. 💜💜💜 here’s to the 90s and being in my 20s. All the memories, the bloody cool music 😅 and beautiful girls I picked up or picked me up. Life was Alright
I still love Blur in 2020 and will for the rest my lifetime. I'm so glad that I got to see them live in 1990s. One of my favorite concerts of the many shows I've seen. And ya got love Jimmy in the video. Take care and stay safe everyone 😷

The fact that Damon Albarn created 2 different bands and both of them are amazing proves that he is incredible and should be treated as a worldwide treasure
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Blur
3 Bands. The Good, The Bad, and the Queen is also really, really good.
created? you mean created band members from dust and filled them with sin and lust?
read songwriter credits before claiming Damon "created" them
Whats even more amazing, is that a 20 something year old (he's the same age as me), wrote this in the first place
Meh, he is a bit overrated. But his real big big work was the soundtrack to Ravenous.
I have a Blur alarm clock, which wakes me every morning to the sound of Parklife,
except on Wednesdays, when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen.
It's on Tuesdays for me.
My alarm clock only wakes me up when I feel heavy metal. There's no other way.

is it just me or does anyone else love Damon?
Everyone loves Damon
Yes. Literally everyone.
No it's just you mate
@@areteees did you even bother to check the amount of likes this guy has
I am a massive Burnley fan. Me and my best mate used to go to Burnley home and away regardless of distance. He unfortunately took his own life 27/08/24 and this is one of the songs on our shared matchday playlist. I always have a tear in my eye listening to this.
Miss you, Lewis. You'll always be a claret
rest in peace lewis I'm sorry for your loss
RIP
Probably the happiest video on TH-cam rn
This should be England's national anthem
We will ask the queen
I agree
Yes just England actually unlike what everyone else here says because it is sung in a cockney accent
Ikr
I'd love rhat
294 people were rudley awaken by the dustman
Now over 1,000.
*The rate of which people were rudely awaken by the dustman have increased radically in the past month. It is now known to be over 15,000.*
dustmen
This 4K quality is incredible! It looks like it filming yesterday
Memories of summer 1996 for me. Music is such a powerful tool for nostalgia. It's like feeling good just for thinking about it.
This was 1994.
@Jeff Oliver. Yes, released in 1994 but musical memories and nostalgia are personal as well. It could be a song from any era that will always remind you of the time it was important to you. That is the power of music.
@@bipbippadotta5953 I agree.
@@bipbippadotta5953 By the way, this is the row of houses - in Greenwich, south-east London, where the video was filmed. www.google.com/maps/@51.4964306,0.0103795,3a,75y,143.18h,87.84t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sRnsiktDaDmxznXHZ7btuIw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656
@@jeffoliver2298 lol i think that is the same row of houses one of my ancestors lived in i did ancestry research on that famous ancestry website and i looked it up on google maps and i think it´s the bloody same row of houses ! what the fuck is this shit !!!!!!!! l o l !!!!!!!!!!!
As much as I like gorillaz, blur will always be Damon’s best work in my opinion
Damon was only a quarter of the band though.
@@mergieismoronic I know, I was just saying across the band, so everyone included
I disagree for me it goes
1. Gorrilaz
2. The good the bad and the queen
3. Blur
(There all extremely good and could put one above the other deepending on how I'm feeling+I respect your opinion)
I'm not sure...I love all his stuff.
Nah I prefer Gorillaz
0:30 When he go into the car holding that window(?) I was like "well, how is he gonna drive with his hands busy". And then I remebered this is British...
I can't even explain how much I like the narrating and the music video it's amazing
One of my favourite songs by Blur!! I see em so young and i was also so young back then!!!
2:56 that's actually Dave and Alex i'M SCREAMING-
LMAOOOOOO OH GOD NOW I SEE IT
oh my fuck i never noticed that before hahahhaha
funny thing is at 3:07 you can tell they filmed this on such a bad day because they needed to put a blue tint over the top of the video, this laps over the guys fingers and later in his hair.
Well this was probably done in the UK so it would make sense
Got to thank Blur for this. I finally got my father to acknowledge music can be modern and good. He loved Phil Davies and so had to concede that this was top boplocks. He’s still watches that episode of Luther when Davies gets secretly murdered on a bus
Phil Daniels
I've recently invested in life insurance, which has made me reflect on death and the irony of life. I was thinking, if there was one track I'd like to be played at my funeral, I think it would be this. It would definitely cheer everyone up while I was taken to my final resting place. God I love this song. It's things like this that makes it feel good to be alive.
Helen Hancock everyone should make a funeral playlist
K M What would be on yours?
I grew up in the 90s and this video still brings a tear to my eye with how authentic it is to what Britain was like. Every class you went to the teacher would be like, "Parklife" and look like Damon Albarn. Then after school you'd dance in the street, chase the ice cream van and fuck up Phil Daniel's car. Well mint memories.
This song and band made my late teen years. I still love them so much!
*This song is one of THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME, the video is amazing, this band is amazing, and every single thing about it is amazing*
This played on the radio as I was driving home from Heathrow back from Florida and I thought yep I’m definitely back home
Oh lord I never noticed that Alex and Dave were all dressed up. He makes a fine woman
Blur has the most eccentric music videos and I love it
Blur always gives a happy vibe everytime I listen to their songs especially Parklife. ❤😁
If you’re ever trying to explain Britishness to an American, show them this video. Or maybe One Step Beyond by Madness. Being British is 25% banter, 25% laughing at ourselves, 25% alcoholism and 25% cruel biting sarcasm.
And 25% bad maths
💯% rubbish chaps
@@metalmick It's "bad math" in America (they only have one type of math)......
Most accurate description of poms
and im adding one more percentage, 100% foul language
I'm Australian and I still find this relatable.
Jake English same
"I'm on smoko, so leave me alone!"
I love how proud Alex looks on 1:16
I can’t believe I found all of Blur’s music through a Cs188 YTP. BUT I love it!
You merely adopted the Parklife. I was born into it, moulded by it.
*molded, mould is that green shit ya get on bread
This is so british that my phone wants to leave the EU.
😂
This is the best comment I've ever seen and pretty much all of the American fans don't even know what ur on abt😂
@@jimlamberton-hards3593 I'm American and I chuckled. You seem to be underestimating us a little lol
@@bronwynburke270 half the ppl ik laugh at the thaught of fish being put with chips so I hardly think a large majority of America know what brexit is
@@jimlamberton-hards3593 uh, there's a ton of restaurants in the usa that serve fish and chips. Maybe not all Americans know everything about Brexit but pretty much anyone who watches the news heard about it
This video is so British that my house is now part of the U.K.
He lives in Trafalgar Square.
Why do Americans always say british and not English
@@beaumill Because I'm not American?
Welcome to the Empire ❤️
I remember being very bored and worst for wear in an underground nightclub in Bath in the early 90s. What used to play indie music, gave way to rave music. Once Brit Pop hit the airwaves, the club changed its DJ who tried to keep everyone happy. As soon as the opening riff of Parklife came blasting out over the loudspeakers, everything came to life again. It’s memories like these … where you were when you first heard a song. 💜💜💜 here’s to the 90s and being in my 20s.
All the memories, the bloody cool music 😅 and beautiful girls I picked up or picked me up. Life was Alright
This song is just pure nostalgia. What I'd give to re-live the 90s again
Damon looks so happy!
ok so he gave us Blur then Gorillaz gotta love this guy
1:05 Began playing in my head for no reason
this is the most british thing i've ever seen.
RamtroStudios Blur were pure British and didn't hide it.............
cor blimey guv'nor that was well funny Toulouse!
More English than British.....
RamtroStudios specifically, 90's British
More London/Essex than English
This is such a funny and cheerful song and music video!
When you’re British and just grew up with this song 😂😂
Are you 5
Alfrecso no? Why
Always there with boys and girls
Cool song. Brings back memories and makes me feel like a kid again. Love a mk1 Granada. Especially the 2 door coupe. Stunning looking car.
Ive been looking for this song for 12 years after watching it on beavis & butthead
That's some serious devotion...
+Union Jack Damn good song. My 8 year old self couldn't forget it
You couldn't type Radiohead on TH-cam? LOL
BlanketIsland it's pretty obvious what the title is going to be
why radiohead?
I still love Blur in 2020 and will for the rest my lifetime. I'm so glad that I got to see them live in 1990s. One of my favorite concerts of the many shows I've seen. And ya got love Jimmy in the video. Take care and stay safe everyone 😷
Lyrics:
Confidence is a preference
For the habitual voyeur
Of what is known as
(Parklife)
And morning soup can be avoided
If you take a route
Straight through what is known as
(Parklife)
John's got brewers droop he gets
Intimidated by the dirty pigeons
They love a bit of it
(Parklife)
Who's that gut lord marchin?
You should cut down on your pork pies mate
Get some exercise
All the people
So many people
And they all go hand in hand
Hand in hand through their parklife
Know what i mean?
I get up when i want except on wednesdays
When i get rudely awaken by the dustmen
(Parklife)
I put on my trousers on, have a cup of tea
And then think about leaving the house
(Parklife)
I feed the pigeons
I sometimes feed the sparrows too
It gives me a sense of enormous well being
(Parklife)
And then i'm happy for the rest of the day
Safe in the knowledge there will always
Be a bit of my heart devoted to it
Parklife (Parklife)
Parklife (Parklife)
Its got nothing to do with your
Vorsprung durch technique you know
And its not about you joggers
Who go round and round and round and round.....
Big thanks from non english speaker lol
A morning suit… not soup. Traditional attire at funerals.
@@stu_the_painter Weddings, not funerals.
This sounds amazing!
