Band Name Origins:

  • Blur were originally called Seymour, but the record company people thought they could never make it with that name so they had to come up with a new one. After a lot of hard thinking they chose Blur just because it sounded as if the record company people might like it, and they did. Submitted by: easy
  • The band was originally called Seymour, named for a character from a series of short stories by George Orwell. When signed by their label they were informed that Seymour was a stupid name, so a list of potential names was drawn up. Blur was chosen ahead of other candidates such as Sensitize, Whirlpool, and The Shining Path. Submitted by: Hard Harry

Better Lyrics:
Ooh hoo, ooh hoo Ooh hoo, ooh hoo
I got my head back
When I smoked crack
It's really easy
To get addicted
Yeah Ooh hoo
When I'm smoking that shit now
Ooh hoo I see spots and some circles
Ooh hoo Well I feel really queezy
All of the time but I'm never sure why I smoke it
I'm addicted
I got my head lit
When I smoked that shit
It's not my problem
That I'm sobbing
Ooh hoo When I'm smoking that shit now
Ooh hoo I see spots and some circles
Ooh hoo Well I feel really queezy
All of the time but I'm never sure why I smoke it
I'm addicted
Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Oh shit!
Original Lyrics:
Whoo hoo, whoo hoo Whoo hoo, whoo hoo
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing is No
Whoo hoo When I feel heavy metal
Whoo hoo And I'm pins and I'm needles
Whoo hoo Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure why I need you
Pleased to meet you
I got my head down
When I was young It's not my problem
It's not my problem
Whoo hoo When I feel heavy metal
Whoo hoo And I'm pins and I'm needles
Whoo hoo Well I lie and I'm easy
All of the time but I'm never sure why I need you
Pleased to meet you
Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Yeah yeah Oh yeah

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:

"Alex’s Song"
It’s a normal song except the fact the vocals are Alvin and the chipmunks collab
Submitted by: Clever Name
"Alex's Song"
The sessions for the End of a Century B-sides must of been really obscure, because they are humours. Alex's Song has high pitch "blade like" vocals. Kind of like a chipmunk song, as people keep calling songs with high pitch vocals.

Hidden Tracks:

"Me, White Noise"
On the CD rewind back from track 1 into the pregap to -6:50 and then take your finger of the rewind button. You now get to listen to 7 minutes of a drunk Phil Daniels singing about looking at a wall which tells you to f*** off because it isn't a mirror, whooshing off in an underground train, people going in the room for a pair of marraccas and how everybody kicks a football.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):

Music With a Warning Label:

"The Great Escape"
In the booklet, there is a picture of Neuschwanstein Castle (the same photo as on the Country House single cover) and underneath this photo it says "Warning: Private Property". This doesn't mean anything as such and is just a quirk in the packaging.
