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.

Is that the main one?

[@colinelderfield6964]

Just seen them singing this on BBC2 live TV and now i realise what OLD looks like because I'm that old.I lived the 1980's.

[@DanDanCOYS]

Honestly one of my favourite songs ever. Blur was so bloody good honestly. The amount of greats songs they made.

[@ruipereirabras]

Indeed... And to think that in the 90's I was an Oasis boy. I mean Oasis is fine, but Blur is really special. I grew to be a super admiror of Blur.

[@edgarblumenfeld7077]

Hahaaaaa I kinda didn't get it and when I did I bursted out laughing an woke my gf up middle of the night. What a legend.

[@AntaresSelket]

Wow! Reading the comments I was surprised that not many people got the ClockWork Orange reference! The one eye in black liner, they even popped up the hat a few times, and made all the right sexual references. And when someone says this is the worse Blur song, really, THE worse. I love Blur, but I can name other songs that aren't that great.I do love the priest lunging at the poor guy next to him at the end of the video! Great! Now I want to watch ClockWork Orange again.

[@rike94]

why don't you read the book instead?

[@AntaresSelket]

Your absolutely right. I will read the book. Books are so much better than the movie, unless it's the Twilight series! LOL.

[@UcaughtWinVirus]

You're not alone. ..KZbin views are young. ..of COURSE it's a reference to ACO..and if the kids haven't read it and/or seen it, they might do now...

[@AntaresSelket]

Cult classics are the weird yet powerful books and movies that imprint a generation. They often step outside the box of societies measurement of normal but they have a way of surviving many more generations. I had my son watch all of the cult classics I could. He read some, but being a bookworm he was busy reading books that will be cult classics of his time, and I'm sure he will pass them on to his children.

[@UcaughtWinVirus]

Sultry, I raise a proverbial toast to you!! I'm blessed, at 40, to have had a very classic and Classical education: it was started at home, reading.

[@TheRosetube]

So 60's, so Bond... this sound

[@rabia1982]

What a gem, this song was so powerful even back then

[@gpeddino]

That ending with the ascending strings always makes my eyes water. Excellent way to finish the song, great arrangement.

[@ellalicor8510]

OMG. I love this track but sometimes I feel like crying & I don’t know why. I came here to see if anyone else felt the same. Thank you😂🙏🏽🧡X

Jonathan Glazer is a fucking genius

[@greenbeanbas]

Why though? It confuses me so much

[@legnarios7025]

AZE It's inspired by Clockwork Orange, the movie, but yes it's still inspiring. This guy thought about the state of us and the future and would put it in his music.

[@mansichaudhary5206]

My god, Jonathan Glazer directed this, what a generous talent

[@martinlarrivee5081]

weird how I skipped over Blur 30 years ago because I didn't like Song #2... and now discovering them and how incredible and timeless the music is.

[@nottopcat5956]

The singles were often my least favourite tracks on their albums. This one is an exception

[@senor250]

This song makes me feel so happy yet depressed?!!!

Estoy repasando/descubriendo la obra de Blur a horas de verlos por primera vez en el Primavera Sound 2023 Buenos Aires: no puede ser tanta hermosura tan legendaria y noventosa por el amor de dios no puedo parar de tener pieldegallina y lloriquear con estos muchachos, diossanto que banda por dios. Cómovoyallorar este domingo.
