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'd do anything to have Blur follow me around and sing about how miserable I am
But then you wouldn't be miserable anymore....which means they wouldn't have anything to sing about.....which would make you unhappy.....then they could start up again.....you see the problem.
@@jasonwest2297 you tried to do something here but I dont think it worked
heaven knows it tho, and also how charming of a man u are. im sure itll grant u a stitch to wear.
@@MrModi420 Frankly, I think it's gruesome that someone so handsome should care.
@@jasonwest2297 whatta pantry boy, u know so much abt these things don't ya.
i love how everyone else is calm and Damon is just jumping in the air
@Sandy Lewis yer ma

Lies again? Who hurt you?
This is just watching Blur bully some random dude.
*cough cough* nardwar interview *cough*
@@moneky6962 lmao
EXACTLY and i love it
@@moneky6962 tbf that video was only dave bullying him, after that it got a bit nicer. just a shame damon or alex didnt step in.
@@Rupsyy it has a backstory actually. Nardwar had already interviewed Blur and asked some disrespectful questions or so
why is blur chasing jeff bezos
thx for the likes
@@Hazelpupps thx for the comment, keep it up!
@@user-ellievator lmao
this is such a weird comment chain
they wanna eat him
Guys help Blur has been following me around for the last 15 years and they won't stop
I can swap with you?
i'd like to trade places thanks
Can I have them?
I'll have them
Is that really a problem though I mean come on
This guy is so lucky. The live concert comes to him.
I'd kill to have Blur dissing me in song.
@@ShenDoodles same
😂😂😂
LOL,this band has quality in same level with orchestra,BRAVO
i don't think he cares, he can get anywhere for free
Graham Coxon you are the most underrated guitarist ever. Love your work
Graham was scared of Damon
@@deansean8686 yeah maybe
Nah gary moore is the most underrated
@@ALLMETAL1970 maybe you 're right, i dont know... but you know what?
I've never listened to Gary Moore but STILL I know his name, I know who he is cause he's universally recognised as one of the great guitar players of the last century, and that's a fact. Try naming "Graham Coxon" to anyone that's not a Blur fan, I bet his answer will be "sorry... who's that?". That was my point I guess
@@lameccanica still got the blues will help you understand just how good he is
1:08 I love it when Damon takes a high note and Alex just kinda steps higher like yes he is feeling it
hahaha
He will be feeling it. We all can - that's the beauty of music.
Step 1: Get a band
Step 2: Master teleportation
Step 3: Torture that asshole from work with this song.
+BaconGreaseFilms you ruined noodle's picture
+Kearney Lambert Chico Improved*
+BaconGreaseFilms If I had a band like this behind me all the time, they could play all day long for me hahaha
+Dan Valois I envy the guy in the video and he's being such an ass about having such an awesome band around him
+Keira Jade (KeiraIzTheBest)
Well, the band _is_ constantly teasing him... xD
UK really needs bands like this one again
Hopefully the 2020's will see a resurgence of bands like this.
I agree with this statement.
if my band gets popular then maybe
Well, Blur did at least release an album last year (my favorite Blur album, actually).
Porcupine tree men!!
all the dislikes are from *charmless men*
Jeff Bezos clearly disliked this video, probably his followers too
Damon abused graham
He punched him in the face

Blur seems like a few nerds at school said let's make music together
...and damon albarn 😃😃😃😃 duxhekxjdijsidhxis
and that’s exactly how the band started. damon said no one liked him in school because everyone thought he was annoying. the first time he met graham he made fun of his shoes and told him his were better 💀
thats weezer
@@aaronacevedo1328 Facts
You could substitute ANY band name in that sentence and it would still be true.
I love the way Damon jumps and dances, so fucking cute
And his fall

Why is every member of Blur attractive to me?
Just judging from your name I’m guessing you have a favourite
Because they are
Daddy Damon They are good bois.
I love them all so much
Alfie Roberts Simms well I mean their name says it all... 😂😳☺️
3:07 i can’t believe famous english alternative rock band blur are fucking dead
sad ending, really :D
killed by a charmless man, even
damon and his air jumps get me every time
if damon followed me everywhere i wouldn't mad at all
Hanun Quinn has
MUSE OMG YOUR PIC
Same
I wouldn't mad either.
You wouldn't mad at all?
Damon was always so outside the box... away from the norm... against the grain. Back in his Blur days but even today in Gorillaz... everything is so creative and artistic and timeless. A true entertainer of our time.
I would say artist but idk
i'd say he's gotten _more_ outside the box with gorillaz. name one other band/artist whose music is as diverse as gorillaz
Well said, my friend. Clever and insanely talented dude. The range of Blur and Gorillaz discographies is already very impressive, but he's even done so many different things outside his main two bands. And almost always he pulls them off quite well. I'm starting to think he's some kind of wizard haha. Or maybe just pure God-given talent. Bless his mind

That smile at the end... This video is just just perfect. One of the best videoclips from Blur with Popscene, Good Song and, of course, Coffee And Tv

Hail to the Ween and Boognish, our lord and savior!!!
My fav Blurs song. Aaaand YES, he is 😏
Currently mood: Alex shaking his head the same way in every music video.
Alex makes cheese. He's probably concocting his next recipe.
Alex will forever be my favourite. As I shake my head in time.
He is always chill no matter what
My current mood is Damon aggressively shaking the microphone
Where has this band been my whole life? This. This is good music.
I hope you dipped into their whole catalog. Park Life is my favorite Blur album 🎉
my favorite genre of blur song, "funny man midlife crisis"
oh young Damon, you do crazy things to my insides.
Crazy gooooood things! :)
Carole-Rose Wilkinson ikr ❤️

What the living fuck did I just read?
this video is a representation of how I feel when a song is stuck in my head

I actually thought that was what the video was about lol
everyone is talkin about damon when u have graham omg
They’re both great let’s be honest
@giovanni cucciolo cos... noccapito
Graham was scared of Damon
Damon punched Graham
My favourite moments:

Damon’s smile 3:30
What a charming young man🌹🌸🌺🌷🌻🌼💐🪷🌅
i swear graham is the cutest thing ever in that oversized blue jacket

2:36 my littler brother chilling minding his own business Me:
Hahahah so good!
Blur hands down the best band to come out of the whole Britpop era
Did Oasis never exist?
@@ND-OPS the difference is, Blur never took themselves so seriously and make the insane assertion that they’re bigger than the Beatles.
I still dig Oasis a lot though.
@@ND-OPS yes they do. Statement is still correct 😊
Pulp are the best one.
@@deadreckoning292 some people take oasis for granted and saying they’re overrated because of the fact that they're self proclaimed bigger than the beatles, they’re a great band for sure but not in the level of the beatles. They’re a Top 10 band of the 90s and they’re waaaaay better than the blur in terms of success.
2:23 the way he keeps on going up after he jumps had me crying with laughter
Stories were told that he touched the moon that day.
he *_ascended_*
"Damon.exe" has stopped working
Yeah, it's funny that they went through all the effort to raise him up like that for just a second of the video
BRO HOW DID I NOT NOTICE AHHAHAHAHA
Guys this is Blur, is not Damon and his gang. Is Damon, Graham, Alex and Dave
Damarys Cedeño 👏👏
Damarys Cedeño Damon and the boyz
In fact Graham started the band.

1:49 *little croissant*
Why'd you have to do this to me
What a song honestly just so good to listen and sing along to, if you're here you're a great person.
Damon punched graham
And thought he should be bigger than Justine just because he is the male
You may hate to hear it but, Alex was the original E-Boy
True
The E boy aesthetic is kinda a revamped 90s look! So E boys look like Alex!
@@NightmareArcadeVids Alex is the cheese boy..
@@dellafenton2417 ayyyy
massive letdown knowing alex is a tory
Why couldn't blur chase me around everywhere. Im charmless...😂
best comment
Your sad
The profile picture killed me. 😆
this is one of the shittiest "jokes" i have ever read. smh latinas....
Isabella Piceno
I’m to that point of charmless where he wouldn’t even wanna chase me
Video summary: Damon jumps a lot and Damon is pushed
i love how he always jumps up and down when he sings the chorus
the way he pushes Damon at 1:36 lol
Yeah but at 2:35 it's a bit violent though xD and the way Damon falls the first time is so funny I don't know why
then he returns to continue XD
Like nothing happened xD
You see a tiny smirk on Alex's face
*YEET!*
Man damon is a cutie
Fuck yeah.
agree

@@mercuryqueen6855 yeah, thats why I said totally not, lol
2:36 is just so funny to me 😭😭
Graham was scared of Damon
You have to be REALLY charmless if you think you can escape Damon Albarn if he's after you.
he has most certainly killed a man once
Cyrus Rothenberg Funny thing, way back in 1995 a girl told me that he made a move on her a few years earlier and she wasn't interested. Please bear in mind before replying that you never met this particular girl.
*****
I'd believe it. He was nowhere near as mellow in the 90s.
I mean, he and his pals have apparently mastered teleportation.
BaconGreaseFilms Or are just haunting him. I mean, how many times did the guy assault them, only for the band to return without so much as a bruise?
One of the last bands who actually had videos that matched the music and were actively involved with the entire project.
2:04 this was one of the first CDs I ever bought. Took me years to get the coke reference.
This is definitely one of their best songs
Albarn's face at the very end be like : "Once Blur starts to follow you everywhere, you just can't escape them..."
It's true, I've been obsessing over them for more than a month now... it's indeed a great escape...y'know what I mean?
ITS STICKS-
@@noursarhan8695 yo me too
Okay I love Damon but everytime the guy pushes him and shit I'm actually crying with laughter
Graham's guitar work on this is excellent as always.
Fascinating 💖Damon jumps to the ceiling and Graham plays the guitar on his poker face. 🤓🎸✨I've loved this video since I was a teenager, so I don't know how many times I've watched it. Of course Alex 🧀✨💕and Dave 🥁✨are always cool. I'm glad I lived in youth at the same time as them.🤗
Favorite part: Alex's little lift at 1:08. I swear, he's like, the coolest bass player ever. Love you Alex James!

I'd do anything to have blur following me around singing a song that shits on my life lucky bastard
Honestly I wouldn't be angry I'd be gassed up
I want Damon to call me a charmless man
Damon is literally so pretty like he looks and sounds like a pure angel
That's how it feels like when a song gets stuck in your head for a long time.
Damon stop harassing that man he's trying to do his daily business don't you see
But... He has no charm!
+Moppo yeah it was his fault. this song was rumoured to be about a guy called Brett who Justine frischman, his ex had just started seeing at the time. another rumour was about the feud with oasis
nah nah he should be happy he got damon following him
Moron
He's still being mean to the old man lol
that bit when he pushes damon lol
1:30 look at that beautiful crack
You can say all you want but Blur has the best music videos from the 90's
1:37 always makes me laugh, Graham looks like he had no idea that was going to happen
I met him in a crowded room
Where people go to drink away their gloom
He sat me dawn and so began, the story of a charmless man
Educated the expensive way, he knows his Claret from a Beaujolais
I think he'd like to have been Ronnie Kray
But then nature didn't make him that way
He thinks he's educated, airs those family shares
Will protect him that we will respect him
He moves in circles of friends
Who just pretend that they like him
He does the same to them, and when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man
He knows the swingers and their cavalry
Says he can get in anywhere for free
I began to go a little cross eyed
And from this charmless man I just had to hide
He talks at speed he gets nosebleeds
He doesn't see his days
Are tumbling down upon him
And yet he tries so hard to please
He's just so keen for you to listen
But no one is listening
And when you put it all together
There's the model of a charmless man.

This video has aged like fine wine. Because the charmless man looks even more like an old obsolete relic while Blur somehow still look current.
“From this charmless man I just have to hide”

Very Kinks-like. Blur has a penchant for writing songs that take a twist or a turn just when they get close to becoming annoying. It's kind of a rare talent.
Damon is a big Kinks fan
i think this song inspired from please please me and back in the ussr by beatles
I love the image of the character painted in the song. To me it's the modern version of The Kinks' "A Well Respected Man".
I wish I could jump like him!
Il Gatto Wish I could jump on him.

When the smiths has charming man, and blur has charmless man, but both of them still has their own charm
This is one of their signature tunes. It's perfectly packaged Essence of Blur.
