MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut 1 — quiet intro of Song 2)

On January 29, 1997,
a song that wasn’t supposed to work
went to No. 1.

It’s Blur with “Song 2.”

(Music Cut 2 — “Woo-hoo!”)

This song started as a joke.

Blur wrote it as a parody
of loud American alternative rock.

(Music Cut 3 — nonsensical line)

And somehow — accidentally —
it became one of the biggest rock songs
of the entire 90s decade

(Music Cut 4 — final chorus hit)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Woo-hoo!” — Blur

By the way — that “woo-hoo” was just a placeholder.
The band thought they’d replace it with real lyrics later.

They never did.
