  • "M.O.R. " is a song by English alternative rock band Blur, from their eponymous album, Blur. "M.O.R. " reached number 15 in the UK singles chart on its release as a single in 1997. The song's chord progression was borrowed from David Bowie's "Boys Keep Swinging" and "Fantastic Voyage". On the album Lodger Bowie 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). "M.O.R. " itself stands for "middle of the road", which appears in the lyrics.
  • "M.O.R. " é uma canção escrita por Damon Albarn, David Bowie, Graham Coxon, Brian Eno, Alex James e Dave Rowntree, gravada pela banda Blur. É o quarto single do quinto álbum de estúdio lançado a 10 de Fevereiro de 1997, Blur.
  • M.O.R. är den brittiska alternativa rockgruppen Blurs nittonde singel, utgiven den 15 september 1997. Som bäst nådde singeln plats 15 på brittiska topplistan. Detta var fjärde och sista singeln från albumet Blur.
  • M.O.R. est le vingtième single du groupe Blur, extrait de leur album éponyme. Le clip musical, présentant une course poursuite entre les membres du groupe et la police, fut la vidéo la plus chère jamais réalisée par Blur. Affublés de capuches, les 4 comparses s'échappent par hélicoptère, en sautant sur le toit d'un camion, en moto, en jet-ski ... Ils sont présentés par des anagrammes de leurs vrais noms : Damon Albarn : "Dan Abnormal" Graham Coxon : "Morgan C. Hoax" Alex James : "Lee Jaxsam" Dave Rowntree : "Trevor Dewane" Damon utilisa également ce surnom lors de sa participation au premier album d'Elastica, dans lequel jouait son ex-petite amie, Justine Frischmann, et le donna à un titre de Blur sur l'album The Great Escape.
