Beetle is another slang for opium. Him and his then girfriend would freebase (smoke) it. 'Chasing Beetle' meant you used it and 'Beetlebum' is just like saying 'Pothead'
Some people think this song is about "that woman," Justine Frischmann, others think it's about heroin in general. Either way, Justine inspired so many of the great songs of the 90s.
Actually, to my knowledge, Justine doesn't have any children. Also, I have read on several occasions that Damon wanted to have children, but Justine didn't. I have to agree, she is crazy! What I wouldn't give to produce that man's offspring!
@yolotzintli We have gorillaz now. I love blur,but gorillaz is my FAVORITE band ever. blur has more of one distinct sound,while gorillaz has all of them.Plus, damon sings every range possible as 2D. :D
This is probably the best music video of all time. I've never seen anything that captures the bipolarity of global and local, of a celebrity and a regular peson so well. And the ending with garages and low buildings and "oh so everyday and unspectacular sunset" it's pure perfection. Also, I love the carpet. :)
One of the best 90´s songs, it´s a pity that the time passes so fast, now they are old, bald and so on, and I think that even the band does not exist?
best outro

I like how in both this video and Song 2 that Damon ends up falling down on some elaborate carpeting ;p

@SlicedFilms Blur are quite popular 'advert songs', Song 2 in the Citroen advert, THe Universal in British Gas, so it's quite possible.
