Blur is an English alternative rock group formed in London in 1989. Their sound is unique and diverse.




Girls and Boys was released in 1994 as a single. It is on the group's third album, Parklife.

From Wikipedia:

Lead vocalist Damon Albarn withering putdowns of trendy pansexuality and aimless hedonism the party culture in the UK, where groups of youths go on holiday to places like Faliraki and Kavos with the sole intention of getting drunk in the local night-clubs. Ironically, it was a huge hit among them, as the electro-pop noise imitated by Graham Coxon gave it regular play among the clubs. Damon considered the song "as rude as Frankie's Relax" and, in writing it, may have been influenced by 60s counterculture film-maker Peter Whitehead's Pink Floyd documentary, which features the famous "Boys who do girls who..." lyric as a written poem. The video, directed by Kevin Godley featured Blur performing this song to a backdrop of people on 18-30 package holidays (which the band interspersed into the video). Kevin branded the video as "Page 3 rubbish" while Blur found it "perfect".


The front cover of the single was taken from a pack of Durex condoms.



The Lyrics:
Street's like a jungle
So call the police
Following the herd
Down to Greece
On holiday
Love in the 90's
Is paranoid
On sunny beaches
Take your chances looking for

[Chorus]
GIRLS WHO ARE BOYS
WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS
WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS
WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS
ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE

Avoiding all work
Because there's none available
Like battery thinkers
Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers
Nothing is wasted
Only reproduced
Get nasty blisters
Du bist sehr schon
But we haven't been introduced

[Chorus]
