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

"Song 2"
Misheard Lyrics: I got my head shaved
Biyotch ja moche' It wasn't easy But nothing else, no Well, I feel heavy metal And I'm pissed just a little Well, I'm lying amazing All of the time but I'm never sure where I'll meet you Original Lyrics: I got my head checked
By a jumbo jet It wasn't easy But nothing is No When I feel heavy metal And I'm pins and I'm needles Well I lie and I'm easy All of the time I am never sure why I need you |
Story about this misheard lyric by: AK My younger employee said that she had heard this song that she didn't know what it was, she thought it might have something to do with Buddhism because the first line is something like "I got my head shaved" and the second seems to be an expression in some foreign language. I later found the song by accident. "Biyotch ja moche' ???" |
