The 80s didnt have some crazy good pop music (although it did have mj, madonna, prince, george michael all in their prime coming out with absolute legendary music sooo....) and the rock (or most electric guitar music) scene was genuinely horrible (guns n roses, bon jovi, van halen, def leppard) until nirvana came to save it. i am just saying that in the late 80s music got really dark, drab, commercialized and pop became unlistenable. this is why i find it hard to enjoy the 90s and what it opened the path for. i do not care about the pop scene in the 80s actually. i am into 77-84 music (mainly punk and post-punk. not new-wave or synthpop though) so like joy division, blondie, new order, depeche mode (who improved in the 90s actually by maturing), early duran duran, the early cure and a couple others.
Back then you could choose between Pop, Rock, Rap, hip-hop, Grunge, Indie, Nu metal, etc nowadays everything sounds the same, rock and music with guitar and real instruments are pretty much dead.
Song 2 was titled as it was the second song on the album. Ironically they released this album at a time when they were fed up with releasing 'Britpop' which was selling by the bucketload and they didn't care whether it sold or not. They wanted creative control, got it, released whatever they wanted. And it sold by the bucketload. This song was never intended to be released (hence the title) but people heard it and went nuts for it.
@@gdkey8025 When that album was being made, this was the second song they showed the record label, hence "Song 2". It was literally written to annoy the record label, but it turned out that they loved it. There's an excellent interview with the guitarist about this song, th-cam.com/video/OEy5LBHq6OQ/w-d-xo.html
The American audience really responded to this track but by the time it was released Blur were already legends in the UK. They’re my favorite band, and imho the best songs are “For Tomorrow” “ Parklife” “Tender” “Trimm Trabb” and “Me, White Noise”
Why do I suddenly feel the need for a pitcher of beer and a few games of pool...oh yeah, that's what I was doing when I first heard this song in a dive bar called Brass Monkey.
My favourite Blur song lol. This was a parody of all the American grunge songs because they never made it big in North America, they released this as a joke and it literally blew up in the states not knowing it was a parody 😆. Ended up being Blur's biggest hit in the states.
@Mr.Video Leo... you did it again! The joy 🤩 you bring me when you couch dance makes me fill with energy! I get to leave my body in the wheelchair and let my spirit dance 💃 with you to the music! Ty ty ty
Song 2 is the second track on one of their albums (also called Blur). "Song 1" would be Beetlebum as it the first track. Song 2 also reached number 2 in the UK charts
The singer of this band, Damon Albarn is also the singer for Gorillaz. You recognize the song from an Ipod commercial. One of those that had the silhouettes with the white earbuds.
If you haven't heard it yet you should check out Marcy Playground's "Sex And Candy" or Bonnie Tyler's "Holding Out For A Hero", the latter of which most people remember from Shrek 2, though I remember it from Short Circuit 2, a movie from the 80's about a robot that comes to life.
This song is obviously great, but it's sad that most people only know this song from them when they have soooo many amazing songs. You should definitely do more reaction to them. Also, I would love to see you do a reaction to the legend 'Beck'. Most known for his song 'Loser', but just like Blur... he has soooooooooo much more than that.
You remember this song because it was played at numerous Sporting Events for about a decade. You could have missed it on the radio when it was new, but it's a great song to get pumped up to.
Finally arrived at my heroes of the 90´s I see. Keep diggin, so much good stuff to discover. Especially love their later work. "Beetlebum", "Tender", "No distance left to run" or "Coffee & TV". But who am I kidding? Their earlier stuff is also not bad, a bit cheesy at times. You could try "For tomorrow", "To the End" or "The Universal" And definitely go with the video on the latter. Ah and yes...Gorillaz ;)
You've heard this song in video games, tv commercials, radio commercials, department stores, car radios at a stop light,....you heard this song everywhere. Its easier to list the places you havent heard it. "Nowhere you havent heard it."
Ripper! You may have heard it where I first heard it -- in one of the Jackass movies, lol !! Another ripper (from 1969) Led Zeppelin - Heartbreaker Living Loving Maid Because the 11th Commandment clearly states thou shalt not play Heartbreaker without Living Loving Maid!!!!
You probably heard it at sports stadiums or from FIFA video game or if you re a fan of the band Gorilliaz they sometimes play it because Damon Albarn, the guy doing the singing in this video is also the lead vocals in Gorilliaz.
For someone your age you probably heard this song on an Intel commercial, there were a group of guys dancing around in silver hazmat suits. It was all over in the 90s
I know I heard this on the radio in the 90s, but the first time I really payed attention to it was from a video that BMW made as a series of movie shorts commissioning famous directors to create a story around a particular BMW in each, starring Clive Oven. Madona's husband at the time, Guy Ritchie cast her in the role of a Madonna-esqe celebrity that was to be taught a lesson by her former manager. It was a wonderful little video short with fantastic stunt driving to the soundtrack of "Song 2". Check it out.
Yeah, i recommended him to give this track a listen because i heard it first when 'Fifa 98 - Road to world cup' originally launched. Loved this track ever since and it still bangs!
It was popular on radio, and commercials. It featured in the advertising for the movie, Starship Troopers. I would be more surprised if you hadn't heard it. Fun song.
Wooooo Hooooo!!!!! I use to listen to this song on repeat a lot back in the day cuz it was a dope ass song and cuz it was to short. Coulda been 10 minutes long of this song and it woulda never got boring lol 😂
The guitar part of this song was on a promo clip for the film Starship Troopers, back in the day. PS. If you’re looking for your lighter, it’s probably on the floor underneath the couch. ‘th-cam.com/video/Yh8qd0VKPAE/w-d-xo.html’ ‘th-cam.com/video/SUpfgFXfkbo/w-d-xo.html’
I could not remember this song from the title or name of the band (don't remember this band) but as soon as I heard "woo hoo" it all came back to me. Lol
Beetlebum happens to be song 1 off this album so check it out along with Tender, Parklife, There’s No Other Way, Country House, Coffee & TV and No Distance Left To Run.
Song 2 in my top 10 favorite songs. You hear it and can’t help but feel like moshing! This is the most different sounding song from their usual stuff but I love the Blur!
Remember the group the gorrilaz? That's the lead singer
I love his voice he’s great in Blur and gorillaz
No it’s not! The singer in the Gorrilaz is named 2D, not this dude.

Song 2 is the second song on the album, it's 2 minutes and 22 seconds long and reached #2 on the UK charts.
Wow woooooow! I really didn't know that!
No. 02:01 on Spotify
“No that’s not it, is it?”
Blur: YEAH YEAH!
This band deserves to be known for more that just this song.
They are in the UK and maybe other places outside the US.
In their day it was usually Blur vs Oasis
I’ll take you up on that offer. I’ll listen to their essential playlist
100% this!
You are not from England right?
Bro you kill me every time, always good vibes
Their most underrated and heart wrenching song is definitely No Distance Left to Run. Check that out, Tender, or Beetlebum
Forgot Parklife, The Universal, and Coffee & TV
I love Beetlebum! Any of their songs though, I would love to see Leo, and many other reactors, listen to.
Their whole album Think Tank is the most underrated work they did
also forgot to the end
Yes No Distance leaves song 2 in the distance . Have you heard Black Book
1:20 the reaction from here on is fantastic woohoo hahah

Please do more Polls! 👍
and you cant forget hes part of the gorillaz

loop!
Fun Fact: Damon Alburn, the lead singer for Blur, is also the Lead Singer and song writer for Gorillaz.
"It's short!"

Beat me to it. lol YEAH YEAH!

Time to do some TOADIES: "Opossum Kingdom." Or "I come from the water," or "I burn."
I have to throw "Quitter" in there.
Tyler!!
Such a great song! Always makes me wanna jam!
Song "1" would be "Beetlebum". That's the first song on the CD. I'd recommend "Coffee and TV" from them. It's a long video, and very unique.
Song 1 could also be Song 2 in double tempo, which would make it 1 minute and 1 second long.

Blur - ‘there’s no other way’, it’s one of their first songs from the early 90s.
Still my favorite after all these years!
