B.L.U.R.E.M.I. Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Groups using a loop
Of another pop group
Group shooting a hoop
And throwing it up in to the soup
I said I'm regular features
And Adidas trainers
Completing the cycle
Until the teenage maniacs
They bring it all back


[Chorus]
B L U R E M I
B L U R E M I
B L U R E M I
B L U R E M I


[Verse 2]
Groups using a loop
Of another pop group

Completing the cycle
Until the teenage maniacs
They bring it all back

Chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-cupacha
(They bring it all back)
Chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-cupacha
(They bring it all back)
Chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-cupacha
(They bring it all back)
Chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-chuppa-cupacha
(They're bringing it all back)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

“B.L.U.R.E.M.I.” appears to be a comment about genericness in popular music. The title of the song is a combination of Blur and EMI, the label the band were signed onto and one of the big four record companies at the time.

This can be seen in the heavily processed and repetitive vocals, especially the chorus, which sounds as if the band has been squeezed out of a sound machine.

Everything about the album sounds desperate and chaotic. B.L.U.R.E.M.I. is the squally end to old Blur.
-Graham Coxon, 13 Special Edition
