Blur song 2 when was it released

Rock N'Roll energy. A '90's instant classic. The noisy sounds and the magnetic images from this video created one of the most interesting and potent moments of music videos of all time. Blur's "Song 2" is one of those songs impossible to resist, with a catchy force and unistakable even though millions of people might not know who's singing and what the song is about. Therefore, we have an impact and one that can't be missed. Dave Rowntree's entrance with the drums, Graham Coxon playing a few notes from the guitar yet not visible on the shot then cut to Damon Albarn's face on a tight close-up shouting the remarkable screams that permeate the song.

What makes the video crazier than other videos of rock groups performing a number is the special effects and cables that makes Blur being pushed against the wall or the floor when the chorus is being played out.

A device used to make the music stronger to the point that whatever happens to the helpless men from playing their instruments or stop Albarn from his sexy gaze to the camera it reaches audiences to not stay impassive with everything.

You can jump, shake your head, dance around, make some moves or just go Wooo-hooo! One does not get indifferent with this music neither the video.

We didn't think about it at all. Graham Coxon set up two kits, Dave Rowntree and Graham started playing drums at the same time, this real "aggro" beat.

Then the chorus is two distorted basses and Damon's guide vocal. It was kind of a throwback. We'd always done brainless rocking out, though maybe it's not what we're known for. The song was recorded in the Mayfair Studios in London, where the first recording sessions took place, while the second half of the album was recorded in Iceland, where the band took a break from the huge britpop scene in the 90's.

The production of this specific song proved to be difficult, as the band wanted more production on the studio version of the song. After trying to produce the song several times, the band decided to leave the song without any big changes in the production.

Bassist Alex James said: "The realization you don't have to polish everything. Sometimes the thing you do first of all is when you mean it.
