Blur - Beetlebum (Live Wembley 1999) video free download

"Beetlebum" is a song by English band Blur. It was released as the lead single for the band's eponymous fifth album, Blur. The single became Blur's second to reach the number one spot in the UK Singles Chart (after "Country House"). It is believed that the song is about heroin and the drug experiences that Damon Albarn had with his then girlfriend, Justine Frischmann of Elastica. Albarn has stated in an interview with MTV that the song describes a complicated emotion, sort of 'sleepy' and sort of 'sexy'.

"Beetlebum" is very highly regarded by fans of Blur. A members' poll on blurtalk.com currently rates "Beetlebum" as Blur's best single, beating its nearest competitors "The Universal", "Coffee & TV" and "Popscene" by a considerable margin. The band also seems to consider the song one of their best. Even Blur's rival, Noel Gallagher has praised it, when on Zane Lowe's brown couch he described it as his favourite Blur song. It is the opening track on Blur and Blur: The Best of.
