Blur - Swamp Song (Basico 40)

[carocasablancas1]

orgasmic

[clashsandwich]

@davesmith7891 I'm the friend he's talking about who accidentally unleashed a hatestorm on this video just by posting it on Facebook... sorry about that. Anyway, he just showed me his comments and admitted that it didn't happen that way. And I only introduced him to The Albarn in the first place because I hoped he'd appreciate real, heart-and-soul music over things like Ke$ha that everyone on this side of the pond loves for some reason. Guess I was wrong. I am disappoint.

[pavioc16]

@clashsandwich don't completely put all responsibility on me. I didn't say all of that was misremembered... You did pretty much force me to look through photo albums with you and watch tons of videos :P

btw I love how this is public...

"posting it on Facebook..." <- you sometimes did that, but when I didn't watch it you'd still basically force me too.

lol I just find this whole drama quite hilarious... I'm going to continue eating second dinner :P

[clashsandwich]

@pavioc16 Um, you directly told me to show you photos but not videos since you didn't like the music (blasphemy) but found Damon hot. Whatever, I officially declare this battle (also a great song :D) over- I can't keep arguing over such idiotic stuff when the video above doesn't deserve this kind of commentary...

[Whatdyacallit]

I'm no expert but isn't it obvious that he's sorta having a stab at the Lux Interior {The Cramps} kinda thing? x

[SempreOnesti]

fantastic!

[bootheguru]

tool

[GamrDan]

Albarn sounds like a lobotomized 3 year old with a sinus infection. This is impossible to listen to unless you filter out the singing, and even then it's such a musically simple and repetitive song it's not great, just alright. It's too bad, Blur had potential to be an awesome rock band, if only their lead singer wasn't a whiny, nasally 40 year old boy

[davesmith7891]

@GamrDan

Yes, and we should all totally respect the opinion of some fatass virgin who lives in his mum's basement playing video games, reading Stephen King books, and watching horror films. I mean that's obvious.

[Revlin]

Fucking godlike. Ballsy alone to attempt this song live, transcendental to pull it off like this.

[gustavo34787]

perfectly noisy

[lucyindaskyyyy]

so sexy : )

[wevegotafileonyou]

That's the Damon Albarn I like.

[TheAmusingHeckler]

@pavioc16 yeah cause we all know how disposible pop garbage has meaning and substance lol get the fuck out of here this is for Blur fans Libby & go enjoy your mass manipulated pop trash elsewhere and we will enjoy this grunge rock here so comparing the two has little to no value and proving your just another troll and thanks for playing.

[pavioc16]

This was a tragedy. How can u people listen to this and think this is good? I prefer Ke$ha to this and she's a complete s1ut! Do u even hear his voice? Oh yeah he's being so artistic! Except he sounds like a retarded mare in heat with throat cancer! The beginning effect with the guitar was HORRIFIC. I'm a liberal, and I'd rather listen to a Sarah Palin speech on loop for 12 hours. I'd rather get to 4th base with my un-preferred gender. There is no amount of criticism that can fix this calamity.

[stupidrainhat]

@pavioc16 ouch, mate! did damon end up runnin over one of yr dogs with his bike or something? bitter nonsense, go find something else to watch.

[rocksinoo]

@pavioc16 I can understand that for some people this song can be confusing if they have no artistic sensibility or education, but I assure you Albarn really can sing ! If you want to hear how precise his voice can be, go listen to some live version of Trimm Trabb ot Out Of Time, and then perhaps you can judge him.

[davesmith7891]

@pavioc16

I'm just trying to work out how a gay liberal from the States got to this obscure clip of Blur performing an album track.

[pavioc16]

@davesmith7891

Wow, 7 months. My blur obsessed girl friend was right. I pissed a lot of blur fans. I don't have a thing against them, just not my thing. Just she WON'T SHUT UP ABOUT HIM. I mean, it's better now. But ur right, I'm gay. She showed me pictures of him over and over again bcuz i dont find him attractive, and she thought I'd change my mind eventually.

So I wrote this comment as cruel revenge. We laughed about for a while. im a bit critical but i do respect others opinions.

[pavioc16]

@pavioc16

Just to clarify... in case you see this again, friend :P

You're much better now. The quantity of Damon Albarn stuff has lowered to an acceptable level. Just, when someone doesn't like something... DON'T shove it down their throat. It's a very valuable lesson. People have different tastes...

[davesmith7891]

@pavioc16

Well that all makes sense then, except you'd still have to look pretty hard to find this clip. Oh, and the album version of this song is much better than the live one. Swamp Song would be hard to pull off live because a lot of the lyrics are incomprehensible (to me anyway).

[pavioc16]

@davesmith7891 Did I mention obsession? She even admits it. She found this video... and she said the exact same thing as you, I'm pretty sure, about the album version being much better. It just isn't my cup of tea, so to speak.

[clashsandwich]

@davesmith7891 I prefer this version btw but it's all a matter of taste. Here you really get the level of passion that went into it. Look up the "He Thought of Cars" Jools Holland performance if you want, that's another one that beats the album version by far imho...

[tyaendrawila]

super sexy song.

graham coxon *___*



[tsbs175]

Well... Oasis also copied some titles as well... Remember Wonderwall was a movie name which george harrison produced the soundtrack? Also, there are many musical works which has the same name with oasis songs...

[missvivers400m]

Does it really matter?

[ScottWP1994]

Oasis' are better, and their swamp song version is better, simplez ;)

[betofiazko]

@ScottWP1994 version? what version? they are entirely different songs mate

[ScottWP1994]

@betofiazko I mean they have the same title, but Oasis' song called 'The Swamp Song' is better, definately :)

[LoztInMars]

Sweet Jesus at 2:48 my ovaries exploded....

[RandomHeroTube]

i heard this song dunno how many times before but only today i became aware of its AWESOMENESS =D

[StrangeSiliconWorld]

2:46 ;))

[oasis4ever92]

thieving bastards...think of a song name NOT created by oasis

[logblobo]

@oasis4ever92 By this time Blur frankly didn't care. And nor should you. It's just a song name.

[gisforgillett]

@oasis4ever92 to be honest though 'swamp song' by Oasis is technically just untitled on 'What's the Story...'

[pennydesouza]

This band has brought me such joy over the years - and I don't often get that het up about music. I just cannot believe their quality and consistency.

[ouiebeib]

what a boring public :(

[DarcyMGOF]

He looks like he's suffering from terets and being possesed at the same time.

[wevegotafileonyou]

Damon was at his best.

13 is a fucking great live album.

[SloppyLoveJingle]

damon is sex.

[baniadera]

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE sa li va saliva

[5clone]

People! the swamp song from blur and the one from oasis, it is irrelevant and a complete coincidence they have similar names okay? let the oasis fans enjoy oasis and the blur fans enjoy blur and those in the middle enjoy both!

[jcbiscuitsniece]

@5clone Most blur fans are fans of Oasis

[AOCRkid]

alex james is a pimp.

[nuttin1031]

i'm always surprised whenever i see young damon.

[thefieldsparrows]

I know another 'swamp song' which is better then this.

[TheDeal93]

@thefieldsparrows wich one the oasis the piece of shit made by oasis or the tool song?

[AOCRkid]

@thefieldsparrows oh shut up. I love Tool but they're totally irrelevant here.

[ninjainscrubs]

Watching Damon in this is hilarious.

[SpoonerJF]

like this !! Cool ;D

[beatlesmusica]

I love this Song!

[AutumnShade655321]

whoa! This is definitely one of the most amazing Blur performances I have ever seen.

2:47 O_o wow! xD

[DANNYM35]

Totally agree!

[ouiebeib]

orly... i think everybody here wanted to know that.

[mrsbr0wnstone]

as sexy as heroin can be

[rocksinoo]

@mrsbr0wnstone You're ruining it.

[Uktahhh]

DAMON ALBARN SHALL RULE THE WORLD

[groovyapple66]

my most favourite blur performance. the music is raw and amazing. and damon, oh god! felt good watching this, to say the least

[cahillkieran]

ALEX JAMES IS A WANKER

[thinktankgirl]

love this song! is so sexy!

[loserbabysowhydontyo]

'13' has to be some of the most ground-breaking and polarizing music in the history of rock

[pared1986]

And one of the most underrated too :S

[ogreenworldd]

Stop it, well, if you dislike Blur get out this site! Oasis is a great band, and Blur too (in my opinion better)

[pared1986]

this song alone is better than a whole oasis album.

[Camustang]

Ridiculous xD

[AronaDaal]

HOW does he get his guitar to sound like that?

[rodfrost3]

full slider..as aposed to a half finger slider  look at 0.11 time

[yasminx16]

Wow...I don't know about you, but this sure gave me FEEEEEEEEEEEEVER.

Sure beats the 'orgasm' at the end of mr robinsons quango, eh?

[TheVinesTheMusic]

Oh defenitely yeah ;)

[54spiritedwill54]

best song on the album

[ferroasis]

what is this shitttt... oasis forever ...this band should have no future suckss

[pistoldisco33]

Stick to your faggity fucking oasisbullshit. "live forever and touch the sky so we can fly around and roll with shit and turn up the sun". Those are lyrics written by an asshole. You think it's cool to be an asshole? You like wearing sunglasses while not outside in the sun? You actually think it's cool to try to imitate John Lennon? You love old greedy farts who only play music for money? You think it's "soo amazingly amusing and cool that two brothers happen to argue alot"? Don't.

[ferroasis]

dude you dont know what you are saying jajaja.. if his is an asshole why he was named one of the best songwritter in british??? and i dont care a shit how he dress and all because i dont care about him and his clothes i care about oasis ..you cant compare oasis and blur cause oasis is far away better everybody knows that..sorry my bad english im from argentina dude

[pistoldisco33]

Named one of the best songwriters? By who? By some magazine-asshole? You think you can determine if a musician is good by looking at his sales and polls? Most music being sold is shit. That does not make it good. Jonas Brothers and Spice Girls sell music. They're shit. And since when do you represent the fucking public? Hitler was praised by his people, don't make him a saint. People can be stupid. Real stupid. I've seen Oasis live and it was shit. Greedy old farts.

[ferroasis]

i dont care a shit how liam or noel dress because i hear their music and i like it ..iits obiusly that you like blur and i like oasis ..but i and a lot of people more preffer oasis thats all.. dont let me talk about GORILAZ! what the fuck is thatt.. a cartoon band?? jajaj thats not a band dude ..everybody prefers oasis im not the only one who thinks that

[pistoldisco33]

While Blur is more playfull, experimental, exciting, original and weird, Oasis is mainstream, 60's-wannabe, pop-rock. People prefere simple, mainstream music even though it can be brainless. Accept it: You Are Brainless. Bashing out Gorillaz and saying Oasis are liked by more people are not real arguments, infact they are inrelevant.

[ferroasis]

ok ok ok if you want to heard that blur is better than oasis well you can say it...i dont think that at all.. ive only know two good song from blur and thats its ..oasis well they have a lot not only wonderwall

[pistoldisco33]

My point is not that Blur is better, my point is it's dumb to go around bashing out a band for no reason other then that they don't sound like your favoriteband, Oasis. They're different bands and the whole stupid britpop-war is over and Blur har proven themselves many times. Just drop it. Check out some other Blur-songs: Beetlebum, End Of The Century, Country House, Coffee & TV, Tender, The Universal. All hits. If you connect with it, great, otherwise, zip it.

[ferroasis]

man what do you want that they do in a concert?? dance¿ if you want to see something go to a circus i dont know..i admit they dont have "the concert" when they play but they play his songs and thats its theyre original.. ok i would tell you too that listen other oasis musics...not only wonderwall

[pistoldisco33]

They could just aswell have a Oasis coverband stand in for them cause they don't give anything to the audience. And they're NOT original. Say what you want about Oasis but they're not original. Bad choice of word. And cut the "you've only heard Wonderwall"-BS. If I based my opinion of Oasis on that song I would have loved them, but I've heard all their songs and seen them live. Either you haven't listened to Blur alot or you're just not fine with the fact that they're two different bands.

[ferroasis]

youve senn oasis live but i couldnt see gorilaz livee becausee theyre cartoonn jajaj ... why did you went to see oasis?? if you dont like.. only to listen wonderwall i imagine.. im from argentina and if i werent a big fan i wouldnt be here talking to an incult

[pistoldisco33]

I was young and dumb. They do zero improv, show no energy or nothing. Just play their songs, make their money and leave. No effort whatsoever. Most boring convert ever, and don't even get me started on Wonderwall. Oasis aren't the worst band in the world, but they're probably the most overrated, they got a few catchy tunes and alot of boring shit. Gorillaz is not a band, it's a soloproject by Damon Albarn. People like to fit in and be cool so they give in to hype such as Oasis.

[blurfanforever]

oh my god, i've got an orgasm XD

[TheVinesTheMusic]

Me too xD

[RandomHeroTube]

@blurfanforever me tooooooo =D

[chago0212]

@blurfanforever me too!

[rock2dream]

does he yell FUCK YEAH in this one like he does on the album?

SO GOOD, cant believe it almost wasnt put onto 13. This song makes the album. every time i listen to it, i cant wait to get to this song!

[AtomicHarmonica]

I don't think he does.

[AtomicHarmonica]

OH. MY. GOD.

My heart just stopped.

[MN443]

DAMON ALBARN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blackaristofon]

Esta es una de las canciones que más calienta... No puede pedir que le den saliva y encima después se toca... así excita a cualquiera...

[alisa192000]

jajjaja

[blrgrl]

Wow, I never thought he'd have a bad hair day, but Damon is not looking his best here! ;)

[Ci4nyde]

he is sexy sweating!!

[TheVinesTheMusic]

I love this song!!! It's just so f*cking SEXY! Damon's so hot in this performance!!! ^.^

[TheVinesTheMusic]

oh... 2:47 when Damon's touching himself look at his lips ;)

[Pa1ax]

blur es mejor que oasis!

[ronnias27]

Great gig. Thanks for posting this. Cheers!

[abrady83]

oasis are the best in the world!!

[flixo92]

oasis are great. blur still rocks too.

[noogies]

who are you, liam gallagher?

[misterioso92]

right!

[uktah]

Damon is fucking gorgeous

[debandmarce]

fucking awesome performance...they make oasis look like the apprentice ;)

[saraomidvar]

lol i remember the old 90s-era fake feud between blur and oasis. I also remember that damon albarn and justine frischmann were dubbed 'king and queen of indie' or some shit.... its so funny to see how both bands turned out. well if i had to choose, blur clearly greater

[lilaciao]

this song is better than *coughs* intercourse. ;P

[seledynowobialy]

whoa! crazzy :D

[HeleneRT]

I love Alex look in this one.. hehe

[coxfire]

Damon is amazing in this song, totally out of control, deep in the song, what a frontman. And, as usual, Graham rocks, playing awsome riffs and looking cool as fuck...Damn, they were just unbelivable on stage!!

[meltagedieb]

dont you guys think it is a bit stupid to dicuss which swamp song is better? they dont have any thing in common but the name, musicwise they are totally different. do you also go to youtube sites of songs which have the word 'love' in theif name (how many might there be?! billions?!)and dicuss which one is better?! stupid...

[marisel76]

I had never heard of this song, it was on related videos, I was like, blur covering tool? awesome!

[noelwannabe]

fuck tool oasis and blurs version is 100000000000000000000000000000­000000000000000000000000000000­00000000000000000000000000000

times better at least oasis and blur both make good music

[THiRDiNSOMNiAC]

Your name says it all mate... just a silly kid with a dream of being "cool" 'cuz you like "popular" music. And you have no right to say Tool don't make good music. Blur and Oasis may not be to my tastes, but I respect their style of playing and their popularity. Maynard posseses more talent in his left pinky than you ever could. Don't disrespect other genre's of music just 'cuase you don't like it. At least appreciate the talent and effort. Call yourself a fan of music...

[Andre2010]

the only coincidence between blur, oasis and tools respective "swamp songs" is the title

[smithyrusselhobbs92]

best song on the album

[Megorillazfanyay]

wit ya saying? this is one of their experimental songs anyway oasis also did a swamp song

[assclown78]

This dumb f*cker is not representative of all Tool fans. Maynard and Damon are both cool. STFU and go listen to Metallica.

[TeenageWildlife]

i understand that Blur's brilliance isn't really understood by angsty cunts like yourself. turn down your RATM and take your valium.

[mooseface13]

This is completely different from Tool's Swamp Song.

[ekhtronic]

yeah he touched himsef to see if he had fever

[velouria91]

uh

is it just me or did he completely grab himself round 2:43?

hahah, quality!

[haillexi]

He gives ME fever!!! ~ <3

Now if only her were 10 years younger... =\

[velouria91]

YOU READ MY MIND

[Gjankie]

Oh my god....that's fucking amazing and very sexual...and so great!!! Can't find words for this absolute cool song.

Damon's a sex god in this video.

[chrisliam14]

wuaoo , esta cancion si q me cago el cerebro , chevere con Blur .

[damona75]

this song is very sexual,and damon sing as a god

[Rikavich]

Man I hope they get back together.

[gaivotaassassina]

gods..

[noelwannabe]

what a guitarist graham coxon is one of the best of the last 20 years

and blur are an awesome band too

but admit it oasis are great too

[sherby888]

quality video

[BeTogetherIsBetter]

It's GREAT! I love this song on album but this is much more better!

[Aspiter]

WOW I love it! even better than the original...

[Aspiter]

I ment like better than on the album

[arcticjunkies]

this song is like LED ZEPPELIN's one.

GREAT SONG!

[RubbishDK]

This is the acest performance EVER. Seriously. I love it to bits.

[midgeman90]

me too

[dogpark55]

trip trip hell yeah!

[GochaBo]

awesoooooome!!!!Give me insane Give me space brain....

[EPAFInc]

This along with Coffee & TV and Tender is my favourite song off the album '13' - this song sounds really dark especially on the album. The last bit with Damon screaming and laughing (especially on the album) is pretty strange......but cool. :D

[britpopislove]

This is definitely one of the most amazing Blur performances I have ever seen. And I've seen a LOT. Damn, so passionate!

[daravaglia]

I think the beginning with the guitar is the awesomest part

[AnalysisPL]

great performance, I love it.

[gibbleralsocorri]

graham: I wanna be with you  I know you want it, too

[madziksaw]

yeah! I love this energy!

[koolerking]

it just shows what an amazing talented player graham is.

[trucuku]

this song fills me with energy, i like a lot how damon sings this one, and how the guitar sounds!...

[skeletonkey6]

I've never seen Damon act that way before... all of the frontman-style posturing, it kind of reminds me of Bowie or even jagger

[figocooldude]

Iggy Pop man, don't forget Iggy Pop, this song is fucking cool, Give me GOOD TIMES!!! You Give me FEEEVEERR!!!

[xiui]

that is sing with passion!! stick it in my veins.. mmm, sounds like justine..
