well that makes sense. song two has replaced gary glitter as the generic song to be played when every minor league hockey team in america scores a goal.

they also had "boys & girls" which was okay.

and uhm.. hmm... i like gorillaz, but that doesn't count, right?

Woo Hoo indeed.

Eat your heart out, Oasis

When I feel heavy metal

WORST SONG EVER! and I do mean EVER!!!!

mentallo69: WORST SONG EVER! and I do mean EVER!!!!

Not even close. That honor goes to "Woo Hoo" by the by 5.6.7.8's. It's best known as the one Vonage uses in their ads.


/Will never even consider using Vonage because of it.

What the hell were they talking about in that song?

TeddyRooseveltsMustache: What the hell were they talking about in that song?

Getting your hair cut by a jumbo jet. It wasn't easy, but nothing is.

Your "Worst" threshold clearly needs recalibrating.

Thnk about it and get back to us by Friday, get back to us by Friday, Friday, Friday.

Song 2 was actually a spoof of "connect the dots" post-grunge bands that were popular when the song came out. The song came to be loved by fans of that exact music.

Is it worse than their other song?

"Girls who like boys who like girls who like boys who like girls..."

how convenient...

I would rather listen to Rebecca Black, but it also might be because I hate british people.

True Story Bro, I freaking hate the Brits.

You might as well just grin and bear it, cause it's not worth the trouble of an argument.

I'm going to buy a house - a very big house - in the country.

Well played.

At the half
Stooge Hand still out in front
Apartment House is second with plenty of room
Assault is passing Battery
Notary Sojac is fourth
And in last place by 10 lengths
I believe it is, yes it is ...
Beetlebum!

And it is their only good song. The rest are bland and forgettable.

You see, you are wrong there - Song 2 is probably their weakest song. The fact that it became their most popular is a cause of confusion to me.

seriously LOVE blur, and i agree Song 2 is their "weakest"...i listen to it less than any of their others

ANDIEATLOTSOFJELLO!

Correct. It's their only song that sounds like a "hit single". Hit singles sound like hit singles because they are upbeat and pleasant to listen to. Blur doesn't like making music that is fun and upbeat, so they made a parody that sounded so much exactly like a hit single that it became a hit single because nobody could tell it was a parody because it was fun and upbeat. And exactly two minutes long.

Followed quickly by "Boys and Girls". People complaining about how bad Blur is clearly haven't given Blur a shot. <3 "This is a Low"

I liked Song 2. I bought the album that contained Song 2. I hated every other song on the album.

I'd agree, but "Coffee & TV" was pretty upbeat. I like that song a lot. Also "To The End" and "This Is A Low". Not to mention "Parklife" and "Charmless Man".

Hell, Blur was great, screw anyone who says otherwise.

yeah, not like SONG 2 was their ONLY upbeat song...although it was indeed meant to parody similar hits of the day, blur have a varied catalogue of upbeat, slow and morose, and styles in between. i don't know about here in the usa, but when i was stationed in germany "coffee & tv" was in regular rotation on the music video shows...as was "country house" (we got sky and several other british stations so we'd have english-speaking tv aside from the military-run stations)

I didn't mean all of those songs I listed to stand as examples of their upbeat songs, I was just using it as an excuse to list some of my favorites since most of my friends don't listen to Blur. At a friend's house one night after much drinking we all had a thing where we played the song that plays in our head when we were in an incredibly happy, ecstatic mood, as well as that song's polar opposite for us: the song we'd play on the verge of suicide.

My "happy" song was "$160 Million Chinese Man" by David Holmes
My "sad" song was "No Distance Left To Run" by Blur.


My friend's didn't let me play anything after NDLtR. :(

NateAsbestos: 160 Million Chinese Man
Death of the Party, Badhead and Out of Time are all candidates for my "suicide playlist". NDLTR I'll count out. No chance of me coming to my senses or backing out with that song playing!

Meh, they're a little two-dimensional for my taste.
