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.

It’s been like 20 years and I’m still searching for Song 1
🤣😂
It's probably "smells like teen spirit" lol
@@FirstnameLastname-jy6jt that would make sense
I'm pretty sure Song 1 is Beetlebum and Song 3 is County Sad Ballad Man. There...all better now.
It's "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones. Listen to it and you will see why it's Song 1.
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 RUclips 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

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 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 😂
Nope, it's just a case of "everyone ignores the bass player" (apparently this even applies to the fundamental forces of the universe which are responsible for the wind pushing things).
@@ghostwarrior7356 Ig for being ignored that’s a W? Imagine being in a zombie apocalypse but the zombies don’t go for you because you’re the bass player.
My kids were 2 and 3. And whenever this song played they didn't know the lyrics but always timed the Woo Hoo just right. One of the cutest memories I have of them.
I always remembered the moment of "Woo hoo" kicks in.😅
This is literally the British version of smells like teen spirit.
It's a mockery of it ironically
Tienes razón
I had this exact thought. Two seconds later I read this comment 😳
mixed with lil weezer
That's the point
Listening to a song called Song 2 which is 2 minutes and 2 seconds and charted #2 when it came out at exactly 22:22:22 on 2/22/22 is the best feeling ever.
Sei un Mito. (You are great)

Idk who you are but ily
22 days later I'll check again.
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.

"Year 4"... you mean, 4th grade? Wtf is wrong w/brits??
This is basically a song that sounds like you are like a combination of calm and absolut chaos. *_i love it_*
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
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.
just can't play this loud enough!! ❤️💛💚
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.

Proved him right in a way

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”
It was smokin' in the 90s, and it still is. WOOHOO!

There two minutes of legendary !!!!
Absolute legends! 🌟 Their music is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day! 🌤 Always brightens my mood! 😊
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 RUclips 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
FIFA '98 - Road to world cup. Almost 22 years ago... Jesus, I feel so old now

22 years :O
One of the best games. I miss this time. :/
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.
Great song, band, and back story. Listened in youth and still in 2024
Happy Birthday Damon!
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.
the most iconic soundtrack of my childhood
Yessir, especially that every time i listen to Blur, it reminds me of gorillaz. But yes this Is my childhood
I only remember it because it was in a Tony hawk skater game I played when I was like 8
Fifa 98 for the pc had this song as soundtrack too
My memory as fifa98

Oh well im only listening to this because my mom wants and im 10

thanks, friend. you too.
You are legend
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.

Congratulations :)
Awesome 👌
It wasn’t easy to find

SAME
Radio burned it into my brain back then. It stuck in my head like a Band-aid all these years.
I love this
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.
Torsten Scholz Should've called it WOO HOO! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

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? :)
