smh didn’t have to steal my thought kelsey

What year did this come out?

こういうので良いだろう！

"People" by The 1975 brought me here and made me revisit this gem.

OMG total ripoff of Bowie- including guitar solo with amp feedback.

Heaven loves ya, the clouds part for ya, nothing stand in your way when your a...wait a second. Honestly though, this version of the song sucks, glad it wasnt used on the actual album.

way better than the album version

Nice video - forgot to listen

Its automatic pooping in holes

When Gorillaz meet Sandstorm!

I live in Sydney, and I've been to pretty much everywhere in this video haha.

Heaven loves ya
The crowds part for you
Nothing stands in the way
When you're a boy
Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of a cherry
When you're a boy
You can wear a uniform
Learn to drive and everything ...

Trainspotting vibes ❤

2018 anyone? 💕 💕 💕 Under the pressure...

Just realised this was set in Sydney in Australia, not sure why I didn't work that out sooner when there was that glaring shot of Luna Park in the beginning

Dan Abnormal=anagram for Damon Albarn
Mind blown?

This is the best version.

boys keep m.o.r-ing

look closely and they are actually running away from David Bowe's lawyers

disculpa me equivoque de titulo estaba buscando mor de ami rodriges , bye

LUNA PARK

Probably the weirdest and best video from Blur lmao.

“ Qué Lindos "

fuckin hell when did i miss blur filming in my city AND at the most popular theme park

I think damon was popping the wheele

i don't understand what's happening

mor means "I'm dying" in my language
oh

what language is it?

Wait what, why is this so different from the album version?

they remastered all the tracks circa 2012 i think

Wikipedia : The song's chord progression was borrowed from David Bowie's "Boys Keep Swinging" and "Fantastic Voyage". On the album LodgerBowie and collaborator Brian Eno carried out a musical experiment in which multiple songs were written with the same chord progression, of which "Boys Keep Swinging" and "Fantastic Voyage" were the two that surfaced. M.O.R is both a continuation of, and tribute to that experiment, as its chorus also lifts the melody and call-and-response vocals from Boys Keep Swinging (Bowie and Eno both received credit for "M.O.R." after legal intervention).The song's chord progression was borrowed from David Bowie's "Boys Keep Swinging" and "Fantastic Voyage".

This song sounds like Bowie and Blur made it together

Boys keep swinging boys always work it out!😛

0:08 is that anomaly?

Damn it Blur, quit robbing banks and make records instead! That's how you make money! Crime does not pay! Britpop does!

Viva David Bowie!

Plagiarism or not, I heard both songs. And the truth is that Blur's version is more preferable and enjoyable than "Boys Keep Swinging"

No it's not no way

Are we seriously comparing blur to DAVID BOWIE?i mean blur have some good LPs but they are nowhere near as good as D.B

Bowie has some terrible LPs. What's your point

Cool profile pic, by the way...

@James White-Aldworth Since when has Bowie made terrible LPs? What are you, dense?

It took me so long to realise they were all anagrams of the band members names

Grant came by today. Was saying the band called him and they wanted a clip... needed to be on MTV the next week or so. Went out and shot it. I'm guessing the fast camera movements are because it's a short _Action_ film crammed into a few minutes.

Came here after reading about the issue with Boys Keep Swinging... I hear it!

Me too, I hadn't listened to this song until now, it's the same melody

"Bowie and Albarn were mates, they played together. M.O.R. was essentially a tribute to the experimentation of using the same chord progression that Brian Eno and Bowie played with throughout Bowie's Berlin era album, Lodger. Although it wasn't initially credited to Bowie and Eno, the song was never trying to cover up the fact that it sounded like 'boys keep swinging', or 'fantastic voyage' for that matter. It was always a tribute to one of Blur's biggest influences"

Does anyone know where I can download this version of the song, it's so much better than the album version

You can buy it on iTunes from the special edition of the album, it's called M.O.R (Road Version)

dan abnormal xDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Jota Contreras haha funny looooool haahaaaaa lmaooooooooooooooo XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD X333

Why does this sound different from the album version?

Idk, it's really annoying this version is far superior

I think this might be the road version, which is in the special edition release of Blur

this one is faaarrrrrr better. I'll never hear the album version with the same excitement as before D:

P.E.M.B.E

they sound like the Gorillaz

+Naj Kraemer because Damon Albarn (vocalist) sang also for Gorillaz :)

+Angus von Evangen damon created gorillaz

@Angus von Evangen oh, i didnt knoiw

darude - sandstorm

+yes, that is Gerard Way eating pancakes
pene

mcr fans are everywhere

@*****
oie cy ke riko

This song is before

I thought the song was going to be like Super Mario World

goddamnit! What the hell is up with all these damn rapidly changing and rotating camera angles? Why did the 90's think this was good cinematic technique? Maybe back then this looked really cool, but, Jesus it just reminds me of a Power Ranger's episode or something.

but that's actually fun lol

Yolis Bortin dumbass the 90's the best era ever

That was the shit back in the day

You say that but Bowie threatened the band with a court action as he considered it a ripp off

Can you give a me song ?

Almost as good as sandstorm, by darude.

Goerge Caproli excepting this one was way before

this song is a plagiarism of Boys Keep Swinging from David Bowie

Blur had to put Bowie and Eno in the credits after legal intervention.That means it wasn't a collaboration between them, but it's said that it was a tribute to Boys Keep Swinging (only one detail: they forgot to name the original composers...)

gente no defiendan lo indefendible, amo a blur, pero este tema toma mucho de boys keep swinging y con razon terminaron poniendo a bowie y eno en los creditos...

Bowie didn't help write it, but once Blur realized how close it sounded, they gave him writing credits. And that's it.

elcaminante71 it's a tribute really. you can notice that in the lyrics there's a lot of names of David Bowie songs.

More like concious inspiration and tribute.

Ah Grant Page. Love him in Danger Freaks when I was a kid. Not relation to Jimmy though.

What the meaning is M.O.R ?

+Pirach Tichinpong Middle. Of the. Road

Thank !! ^^

I saw this theme park in one of Robin's videos, from Anime America :)

Luna Park, Sydney, Australia.

Get Bowie get a writing credit for this? Sounds just like Boys Keep Swinging.

+Stuart Jones he did, along with Eno. What a blatant rip-off!

"Life is a pop of the cherry
When you're a boy". Wait...wrong song,sorry.

Luna park!

I simply can't believe that such a copycat cheater as Bowie (with Eno inside his pouch) who has shamelessly stolen from everyone, including himself, without ever being sued for that got credit to this song. Bowie was lucky Jagger, Richards and Bobby Keyes didn't sue him for 'Diamond Dogs', being such a rip-off 'Brown Sugar'. And Eno already seemed to know about this when he included himself in the songwriting credits of 'Remain in Light' by Talking Heads when he was just the producer! Who's thief then?

Boys Keep Swinging

Wow I see you are very smart

I just realised, that they were on the streets where I used to live... Wow.

it's like something out of gta v

I just figured out right now that Dan Abnormal = Damon Albarn in anagram 😃

Not only that, but it's the name of a Track on The Great Escape.

+Aaron Thomas yeah, I noticed that too!

now It looks like a criminal list or something

Napikon Napikon all of the names at the begining are anagrams
Morgan c. Hoax = Graham coxon
Lee jaxman = Alex James
Trevor Dewayne = Dave rowntree
Dan abnormal = Damon albarn

Dan abnormal not normal at all... It's not his fault Dan Abnormal's... me.

I just caught the Dan abnormal bit

Good thing this was remastered...

crrrrrrrap

How there was the Blur v. Oasis thing was funny.......Blur were/are far more intelligent,artistic,cosmopolitan,chameleonic, erudite,appealing,considered and unpredictable.
But Oasis were more arrogant, dismissive, condescending, thuggish, copyist, insular, unvaried, crude, dreary and fragmented.
See two totally incomparable groups.

With Noel Oasis sound bland

I think both bands are great in their own ways.

You are just being "Oasis" by saying things like this. Bashing never works. Look at how Damon and Noel are hanging out like bros these days.

Yet Oasis songs generate much more of an emotional response from me than Blur songs

also, the guitar work in oasis is fucking BORING. Same boring blues solo bullshit (and not even good blues playing at that) - could NEVER touch what Graham is able to do.

RIP Lawsuit

this version isn't so good

y yo que pensaba q era
Movimiento Ocular Rápido hahah buscando que era R.E.M. Ya me había emocionado.

Por qué tan pocas vistas del video mas emocionante de blur ToT?!?

naah despues llegan los ratas

album's version is better

when you're a boy.... boys... boys keep swinging

when you're a boy... boys... boys who like boys to be girls who do boys like they're girls who do girls like they're boys

Yes, it sounds a lot like boys keep swinging !

"Blur, who used the same chord sequence as "Fantastic Voyage" and "Boys Keep Swinging" in their 1997 hit single "M.O.R"" -- from Wikipedia on the Lodger album
