p:abstract
  • "Chemical World" is a song by British rock band Blur, featured on their second album, Modern Life Is Rubbish. It was released 28 June 1993 as the second single from that album, equaling their previous release "For Tomorrow" at #28 in the UK Singles Charts . In the United States, the song reached #27 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, the only single from Modern Life... to chart in the US. Like "For Tomorrow", the song was commissioned by the head of the band's record label, David Balfe, for a more commercial track on the album. In this song's case, the song was geared at appealing to the American youth. The first of the two CDs released for the single contains the song "Never Clever" which was originally destined for the much more glittering career as follow up single to Blur's fourth single, "Popscene". However, the commercial death of "Popscene" prompted those plans to be shelved. The studio version of "Never Clever" was eventually released on a promo cd to celebrate Food Record's 100th release. The 7" vinyl of "Chemical World" has a cover version of Rod Stewart's "Maggie May", which was also featured on Ruby Trax, a 3 CD compilation of cover versions issued by the NME on its 40th birthday and on Blur's The Special Collectors Edition.B-side "Young and Lovely" was hailed as one of the greatest "lost tracks" by Q magazine in 2007. The music video shows the band in a grassy field surrounded by wildlife. On Beavis and Butt-head, when the video was reviewed, Beavis said that he wanted to urinate all over the band and the wildlife, including a snail and Damon Albarn. (en)
