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.

I have a Blur alarm clock, which wakes me every morning to the sound of Parklife,
except on Wednesdays, when I get rudely awakened by the dustmen.
It's on Tuesdays for me.
My alarm clock only wakes me up when I feel heavy metal. There's no other way.
Naveek Darkroom 😂😂
PARKLIFE!
Mine is the chorus and it's Friday for me
"OK, what is the most British way to start this song?"
" *O I* "

Q: what is the easiest way to get likes on Parklife? A: to write something about how "british" it is.
So true hahah 😂
Prefiero Our House,Madness
The fact that Damon Albarn created 2 different bands and both of them are amazing proves that he is incredible and should be treated as a worldwide treasure
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Blur
3 Bands. The Good, The Bad, and the Queen is also really, really good.
created? you mean created band members from dust and filled them with sin and lust?
read songwriter credits before claiming Damon "created" them
Whats even more amazing, is that a 20 something year old (he's the same age as me), wrote this in the first place
Meh, he is a bit overrated. But his real big big work was the soundtrack to Ravenous.
"You should cut down on that porklife, mate, get some exercise"
Truly a legendary line
I've been singing it as "you should cut down on your pork pies mate, get some exercise" for over 25 years🤦♂️

@@markselby7677 honestly kind of like it better
@@markselby7677 yeah that's the right line. Not porklife....
It’s Pork Pies, not “porklife”.
Common British snack often used a reference when berating a fat person.
E.g, “did you eat all the pork pies again??”
This is probably treated like a documentary in America.

This album is 30 years old today - many happy returns! 🎉😊
damn...
30 y old😳😱👀👀👀. Whaat the fuuuuck😂. I was huge brit pop fan. Well I still am. Best music era was 90's. My fave band was, and is Oasis. It was 96 when I heard this for the first time. I was almost 14 y. In autumn i'm gonna be 41 y😱😱👀. Where the time goes. I just don't get it🤷. After this era music has been nothing more than shit.
Still love this song, even remember watching it on the itv chart show!
It’s incredible how Damon Albarm created 2 bands (Gorillaz and Blur) yet they are both still popular, famous and still going. What an amazing guy!

Similar thing to me but on Tuesdays because I just wanna lie in.
The dustmen come early on a SATURDAY for me - every weekend I'm woken up by the sound of smashing glass bottles - very annoying!
God these 4k remasters is what every band should do. Re-scan their videos on film!
I would love to see the behind the scenes from the rushes also.
I only realized it was on 4k thanks to you comment
The Britpop years of the 90’s were fantastic!! This was a much needed sound to come out cause the radio stations here in the states were dominated by nothing but grunge bands. Bands like Blur, Verve, and Oasis were a much welcomed break from all that stuff. I loved every second of it.
Yeah, well, the '90's had the Spice Girls so it wasn't THAT fantastic.
Brit pop and Grunge happy days
Just saw this and I thought it was an exceptional 70's remake of Mark Smith.
Luv U British Smegheads.

Love the 90s. Music took risks. Different approaches to what a song could be. Which helped produce classics like Blur. Less commercial formula. More creativity
The difference between today's music and the 1990s is that maybe a record label decides to give you this opportunity if you get lucky then they stifle you until you want to die.
Today it doesn't matter if you are taking risks or not, if the algorithm isn't feeling it, you die. And the algorithm is nebulous and intangible unlike some AOR guy who might like your sound. It's why songs from 20-30 years ago become prominent again, the algorithm cares only about retention. Everyone is niche with no leverage except artists and bands who were popular pre-2015 or so
REMASTERED OH MY GOODNESS
Alex made such a convincing woman that I didn't even realize it was him on first blush. What a pretty young man

Best of all finally restored.
My favourite Blur song. Although there are better. My young self will always love this song very much.
Why does watching this make me so happy??
same
It's amazing, they can make your day.
And sad at the same time because it's not the 90's anymore.
+Long Rat because of Damon Albarn mainly, I think. He has such a sincere, innocent, charming, quirky, adventuresome, silly sweetness about him that's just magnetic, and makes you smile in the most giddy, gushy way, and then be happy for the rest of the day. Cheers :)
because it brings back memories
Alex running around with Graham in a shopping cart is my aesthetic
Parklife!

My favourite Blur song ❤️ Having Phil Daniels in the clip makes it even better 💙
'I get up when I want.. I put my trousers on.. Have a cup of tea.. And i think about leaving the house'.. Probably my favourite lyrics ever!!
really mine is "whos that gutlord marching you should cut down on ya porklife mate get some exercise"
When ever I babysit my nephew he always shouts at me "put bur on, play bur" (he's 2 he can't say most words properly) then I start play their music he runs around the house trying to sing the lyrics and then he goes to sleep so easily, and I get paid to just play blur for him
Molly Hayes wanna swap jobs??
can i please babysit your nephew

Baby has good taste.
I remember when this came out, I was living across the pond and it came on “the box” every 5 minutes. We always danced and I’m dancing now!🎉
Parklife by Blur. Of all the British bands that were popular in the 90s, these guys never got enough credit. Damon Albarn is a great songwriter, not to mention he is pretty much every sound the Gorillaz make.
Blur should have gotten more success in America.

what about "oh no, the cat has done a woopsy on the carpet"
Dust Particles Dole Queen, innit.
True Dat and big up yerself babe.
Always said this song was a zeitgeist of the impeding Cool Britannia era in the mid 90s. It captured a fun energy that was sorely needed after grunge wore out its welcome with music fans.
This song has an energy soooo good!! Love it! 👏👏👏👏
Love this song - it gives me a sense of enormous well-being, and then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge there will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it
You could also have got that same feeling by putting your trousers on (presumably no other clothes), having a cup of tea, and thinking about leaving the house - then feeding pigeons and sparrows when you do.
Song was so good that even Noel and Liam sang it passionately
Seriously 🤣
😂
Liam said that Blur is his guilty pleasure.
@@dhammdeepbhagatdd truth is that both bands were awesome, both of them had their pros and cons tho
@@davlor86 Agree.
They filmed this at North Greenwich in front the dock workers cottages attached to the Pilot Pub. The wasteland in front of the pub became the Millennium Dome. For a long time PARK LIFE was left written on a side road. Legend is the Band drank at the pub and catered for Alex's love of cheese, so much so for 2 decades the pub had a Glass Cheese counter at the end of the bar. Of course Youngs Brewery ripped it out in a gastly gastro refit... They don't know the significance of a melodic bassline when collided with the nose notes of a well potted fromage

I remember being very bored and worst for wear in an underground nightclub in Bath in the early 90s. What used to play indie music, gave way to rave music. Once Brit Pop hit the airwaves, the club changed its DJ who tried to keep everyone happy. As soon as the opening riff of Parklife came blasting out over the loudspeakers, everything came to life again. It’s memories like these … where you were when you first heard a song. 💜💜💜 here’s to the 90s and being in my 20s.
All the memories, the bloody cool music 😅 and beautiful girls I picked up or picked me up. Life was Alright
