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

Misheard Lyrics: But that not says that she's having a wee.
Original Lyrics: The landlord says that she's out a week

Story about this misheard lyric by: AdvertBreak Well I always thought it was quite quirky to have the lyrics "having a wee", especially as the next line in the song is "What a shame, she was just getting comfy." But the landlord thing makes much more sense. |

Dated Song Lyrics:
"Girls & Boys"
The Dated Lyrics: Life in the 90s is paranoid
Why They're Dated: Pretty self-explanatory. This song came out in 1994, and obviously, 11 years later, it no longer refers to modern day times.

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:
"Alex's Song"
The sessions for the End of a Century B-sides must of been really obscure, because they are humours. Alex's Song has high pitch "blade like" vocals. Kind of like a chipmunk song, as people keep calling songs with high pitch vocals.

Hidden Tracks:
"Me, White Noise"
On the CD rewind back from track 1 into the pregap to -6:50 and then take your finger of the rewind button. You now get to listen to 7 minutes of a drunk Phil Daniels singing about looking at a wall which tells you to f*** off because it isn't a mirror, whooshing off in an underground train, people going in the room for a pair of marraccas and how everybody kicks a football.
