![]() Now Damon Albarn says that it was a branching to more pure music and has never addressed the thoughts that it was in actual fact a mickey take, these have been confirmed by other members of the band though. One of the main victims of `Song 2' was the Pixies who were the poster grunge band of the nineties. These lyrics demonstrate the incoherent nature of the whole song, jumping from subject to subject with no links. Seeming non-sensical lyrics and a clich‚d video to match apparently weren't noticed by the public at the time who rode it to chart success. Ironically the song charted very well in England, ironic for the fact it was meant to be a satirical stab at everything grunge.

I think it would have made a fitting music video. Just to imagine this guy going insane on an airplane. When I think of it in this context it makes me laugh. It also is probably exilerating to know he survived and to think back on it. ![]() Ultimately the, 'Woo hoo' is just the terror he feels every time the plane bumps and jostles. I think the, "I got my head done when I was young" means that the whole thing is past tense and just him remembering it or telling a friend what happened. The next bit he's telling himself that everythings going to be alright and talking to the person in the neighboring seat to help keep calm. ![]() Who knows maybe he was on a plane that had engin trouble (heavy metal) when he was younger: I think the next bit is him hearing the engins and feeling the terror (pins and needles) of something happening.

Perhaps it's him telling about the first time he flew on an airplane.
