Damon Albarn stated at the song's debut live performance at the RDS in Dublin in June 1996 that "This one's called 'Song 2', 'cos we haven't got a name for it yet". The working title ended up sticking. It was said that the song was about Pavement's Bob Nastanovich, known for his colourful and energetic stage presence. In keeping with the title of the song, it was the second track on the album, was the second single from the album to be released, is exactly two minutes and two seconds long, and is also the second track on their compilation Blur: The Best of. It reached #2 in the UK singles chart and also placed #2 on Triple J's Hottest 100 for 1997 in Australia. (See Apophenia.) The song was also used as the basis for a question in the 2009 EDEXCEL GCSE music listening examination.
The first two lines of the chorus refers to Paresthesia. This meaning is not known, yet Blur have always known to have idiosyncratic lyrics.
