Finally someone who reacts to more blur than just Song 2. They got so many better songs and beetlenum is one of them amazing song love it! This song is about drugs btw, and I recommend u do the songs: Tender, Coffee and TV, Parklife, This is a Low, Girls and Boys, To The End, Country House, Charmless Man and The Universal. Love your reactions always

[@chrism70kc]

The video for Coffee and TV is fantastic!

[@hobotopper]

This Is A Low! Brilliant choice, but I doubt we'll see a reaction. Here's hoping. Cheers from Down Under;)

[@Reani71]

Coffe and TV, The Universal, Country House have also very fine videos.

[@santiago_yudait]

Bugman

[@1500in1dayPLS]

Don't forget Chemical World!

[@Peejay1966]

Ah, your expression at a certain lyric. Hahaha, brilliant.

[@queensquish]

Yep this was about Damon’s addictions at the time. LOVED this song, I remember feeling like I was so cool for liking it haha 🤣🤣♥️

[@NxDoyle]

His addiction to Justine.

[@dantastic6262]

@@NxDoyle AND the heroin that Justine got him into

[@14gilbertst]

Love this whole Blur album. A Masterpiece.

[@Alteredbeast47]

They were told releasing this song was career suicide because it was such a shift from their older quirky stuff. It ended up being their biggest! Also a nice hint of him creating and singing for Gorillaz in a few years

[@Doop_11]

Wasn't song 2 their biggest

[@lordzhuge]

Blur are my favourite band so I'm super excited to see you reacting to them. My favourite song by them is The Universal so I highly recommend that, plus it has a very cool music video. =)

[@willrichardson519]

It's a top song

[@aldworth33]

Teeba did you manage to get tickets for Wembley? I'm on a bit of a KZbin blur trail after securing mine 🤣 super hyped and still got 8 months to wait

[@lordzhuge]

@@aldworth33 No I didn't, I'm not around on the dates of the concerts, so annoying! Well done on getting yours, it's bound to be epic. 😊

[@carolinebutler4480]

True fact - my late uncle taught Damon woodwork at secondary school.

[@halla4596]

Lol what

[@clarenceflam]

The song is about Damon Albarns heroin experience

[@jtaylor9562]

The first song I ever truly loved

[@stephenulmer3781]

I never paid attention to the lyrics before . lol 😳 naughty

[@RastaSaiyaman]

I already said it in the reaction to "Tender" the album "13" is mostly about the break up between Damon Albarn and his long term girlfriend Justine Frischman because of his Heroin habit. Beetlebum is about Damon berating himself for driving Justine away by choosing Heroin over her. Justine for her part said that Damon should have put in more effort in actually taking care of her rather than to write songs about her after the relationship had ended.

[@swfcocs1]

Indeed, though it wasnt it her heroin habit rather than his? I've seen interviews with Justine where she admits it was her habit that was the issue

[@ECCENTRICERIC69]

I think you will find that it was Justine that had the massive heroin problem and introduced Alburn to the joys!!

[@noursarhan8695]

The real problem in their relationship, according to what they both declared wasn't much the drugs (which by the way both were into at that time, especially Justine), but rather the different goals and expectations they had from it, as well as the whole public pressure they kept facing both in terms of tabloid intrusiveness and the way they were being pitted against each other in the music industry. Damon in particular was so career-obsessed to the point he even got jealous of Elastica's success in the US back then. She eventually got fed up of all the fame and success thing and made the decision to break up with him, for both of their own sake. Her quote about him not having put enough effort, I've actually seen it too. She even said they would've been still together if he did...very sad...but they seem to be in a much better place now so I'm glad for that

[@rwg2626]

You can’t do Blur without Park Life, it’s the law

[@deeg8849]

Blur is hands down the best band of the 90s. Their albums have aged incredibly well. They are so diverse in their sound. But most are lazy and just think they are a Brit pop band. So much more

[@murdockreviews]

Cool song. Not sure how much sense the lyrics make, but the song is one of their best. For a great (yet sad) Blur tune, I'd recommend "No distance left to run".

[@jukeboxgeneral7105]

The song refers to Damon's heroin addiction.

[@srodgers66]

This is in the top 5 songs of all time for me. When in doubt, song lyrics are generally an analogy for taking drugs.

[@noursarhan8695]

Love how you were already vibing since the beginning! Makes me happy to see your enthusiasm 😄 About its actual content, the lead singer himself (Damon Albarn, who is also by the way the co-creator and main musical force behind the virtual band Gorillaz) said the song was about feeling "sort of sleepy and sort of sexy". The feeling he's describing is actually that of the heroin high, the whole song is about his drug experience with his girlfriend at the time, Justine Frischmann of Elastica (another huge band from the britpop era, check them out!). When Blur released it as a single in 1997 many thought it would've been a commercial suicide because it was so different from their previous, brighter-sounding material (they were almost seen as a boy band by that point, which seems quite odd to me since most of their lyrics were very sarcastic and a bit cynical and that sort of feel resonated through the music itself). However, it turned out to be one of their most successful and beloved songs in the end, reaching the number 1 spot in the UK charts, and leading the release of their self-titled album which was well-received even in the US (partly thanks to the massive popularity of the second single, Song 2, and its usage in commercials). The whole album is brilliant by the way, it marked the shift between their older, quintessential British sound, and their darker, more experimental phase. Thanks for taking the time to review this, this band is soo much more than just that "woohoo song", and your immediate positive reaction is proof of it

[@rwg2626]

Oh and also coffee and TV, classic and great video

[@Savingforlife]

Country house or charmless man! Thanks 4 reacting to blur

[@IndyRadiohome]

i love this song one of my favorite Blur songs love your channel keep up the good work

[@blakefish80]

The instrumental outro of Beetlebum is about as sonically spectacular as it gets. Sheer excellence.

[@stephenmor66]

May I request you react to Skunk Anansie? They are a my favourite band from this era and also mixed race. I must confess to being a little bit in love with the singer, I don't see any human could not be.

[@kalasatwater2224]

React to their song Coffee and TV

[@tR6yMusic]

Great reaction to this song. Really one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.

[@elwray3506]

Damn fine song. Love the composition and I have no clue what this is all about. lol. Interesting that you mention The Verve in this regard. I think I know what you mean. There often was a strong underlining melancholic vibe to both Blur and The Verve songs.

[@luizaguiar5741]

Please,watch David Bowie "Young Americans ".

[@LIfe4everLove1]

So fun!

[@noursarhan8695]

2:51 Damon will do that to ya 😏🥴

[@willrichardson519]

Arty, creative, thoughtful stuff...well worth reacting to Suede or Berard Butler with McAlmont, then the Anchoress...

[@nerdbot37]

Ahh, yes! The reference to Richard Ashcroft of The Verve! Yeah, I can see/hear some similarities with Damon Albarn. This song is about Damon's relationship with Justine Frischmann of Elastica and -- more significantly -- their relationship with heroin. The word 'beetlebum' came from Spike Jones's version of the William Tell Overture ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4PKoJ6Jl9RqmZo ). Damon has been friends with guitarist Graham Coxon since childhood, and the repetition of "beetle bomb" or "beetlebaum" or whatever it was used to crack them up. Apparently, Damon heard it as 'beetlebum.' Have you listened to "The Drugs Don't Work" by the Verve? It's a heartbreaking song Ashcroft wrote about watching his father-in-law battle cancer. I am particularly moved by this relatively recent performance of it (Ashcroft's voice is getting even better with age): kzbin.info/www/bejne/fH3FpJafq5xmepI

[@greenarmy1982]

In 99 to 2000 ish. I use to travel a lots. Bring all blur cassets with me. And there you go... Got lota of memories with em.. expecialy with beetlebum.. love .. tear.. and joy.. ✌️😘

[@Stefano1875]

Love it, my fave band. Id say give The Universal and Coffee and TV a go, just for the videos alone. Both fantastic songs. Also: To The End, Charmless Man, There's No other Way, Chemical World, Popscene and This is a Low.

[@johnfoster5295]

This singer is also the singer for Gorillaz.

[@manuelmachucabarrera9396]

Great song

[@deestroyer1885]

This is my favourite heroin song other than Golden Brown

[@johnsrensen3366]

Back to 90s britpop i like this song

[@bojackfast4795]

blur GOT ANOTHER SONG CALLED i'm just a killer for your love

[@andyastrand]

They really got you there K didn’t they

[@12thJupiter]

Please do Blur’s There’s No Other Way next! Also Coffee & TV! Thanks!

[@brunswicklord6365]

The "vibe" Cool Britania

[@seledia]

The lead singer of this song is kind of an contemporary musical genius. He was worldwide successfull with two great projects: Blur and Gorillaz

[@chrissantos5580]

Blur was better than oasis

[@garytaylor-ty6xt]

There are sooooo many song's where artist's have written about there addiction to heroine this is one but to name a few for sure.Damon isn't the first and certainly won't be the last.

[@elysehfm8797]

Secondy second!

[@deeg8849]

3:47. It’s all. It’s all It’s only

[@louisemcarthur945]

Heroin.....it's a song about his experience on Heroin

[@Griseboy]

Do a Keane-Bedshaped Reaction, very sensitive song, Please watch the original video, it explains alot.

[@peterfromgermany2431]

And at the End. The Universal. Better the Live Version!🥰🥰🥰

[@seledia]

Another mellow song of them (and one of my favs) is "No Distance Left To Run"

[@cheerio4000]

Not their only song about heroin 🫢

[@williamjay8715]

Ode to Heroin...beetle is the beetle you chase on foil...pretty blatant really

[@paulstraw8873]

Heroin

[@evilashxero]

This song is about doing heroin.

[@gabrielp9646]

I really like Blur, but I HATE this song... I hope you react to some of the good ones.

[@nataliecandela7063]

Nope.

[@mn-wk3ju]

Great brit-pop band! Not as good as Oasis.

[@jfluffydog2110]

Its about heroin
