Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!
Woo hoo!

I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn't easy
But nothing i-is, no

Woo hoo!
When I feel heavy metal
Woo hoo!
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Woo 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

Woo hoo!
When I feel heavy metal
Woo hoo!
And I'm pins and I'm needles
Woo 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
Oh yeah

Always imagine a Mohawk style shaved in a shaky shamanistic ceremony, gritty filmed and fractured. 90's style. THIS.

Classic; magic stuff! I like how Weezer tapped into this scalding magma a bit in their "I got my hash-pipe!" I really like the brand-new Blur I've heard on RP, too!

Absolutely BRILLIANT tune - just love it.  Especially fun to hear it as the soundtrack for the Guy Ritchie video "Star" promoting the BMW M5 with Madonna! (see it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1dYv_gKTA8)

And I was gonna say that this song strikes me as good for hockey games, sports hilight reels, maybe a movie trailer with stuff blowing up...and not much else. Just my opinion but aside from its energy (and a vibe kinda borrowed from Nirvana) I don't see much going on in this song or with Blur in general...

Well, actually, they rarely sound the same way twice. Blur is absolutely brilliant in that they can take on any genre, make it their own, then completely take the piss out of it. Frontman Damon Albarn's Gorillaz and The Good, the Bad, and the Queen are also right up there at the rank of Genius in that respect.
