On this night in 1995 you were listening to... Blur

A Friday Flashback to get your weekend started…

OH HE LIVES in a house, a very big house, etc.

Cheeky chappies Blur wrote this song about their former manager who (get this) went and bought a house in the country.

Taken from their 1995 album The Great Escape, it was released on the same date as Oasis single Roll With It.

Oooh. #shade

Who won? Blur. By a hair. But Oasis sold more albums.
