    Blur - Song 2 was intended as a parody of American rock and is laden with nonsense lyrics. It’s their most known song in America by a wide margin and might even be their most known song globally.

    Woohoo

      This happens every time an artist does a parody of popular music, see also Smells Like Teen Spirit and You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party. Turns out music that’s in a popular style tends to be popular 🤔

      You could say fans of the song might need to get thier head checked by a jumbo jet, even though it won’t be easy.
