About .
“Song 2” is a song by English rock band Blur. The song is the second song on their eponymous fifth studio album. The track was originally nicknamed “Song 2” as a working title which represented its slot in the tracklist, but the name stuck and according to Graham Coxon, “Song 2” was intended to be a joke on the record company. Damon Albarn had recorded an acoustic demo of the song which was slower but featured the song’s distinctive “woo-hoo” chorus in whistle form. Coxon then suggested that they pump up the speed and perform the song loudly, with Coxon deliberately seeking out an amateurish guitar sound.

Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo
I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet
It wasn’t easy
But nothing is
No
Woo-hoo
When I feel heavy-metal
And I’m pins and I’m needles
Well, I lie and I’m easy
All 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
And I’m pins and I’m needles
Well, I lie and I’m easy
All the time but I am never sure
Why I need you
Pleased to meet you
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Oh yeah
