[2] It was released in support of the band's greatest hits compilation, Blur: The Best Of, on which it was the only song that had not previously appeared on an album.
"[3] Daniel Durchholz of Wall of Sound called it "vital", while a less enthused Stephen Thomas Erlewine saw it as "good, not great".
[4] Conversely, Graham Reed of Drowned in Sound called the song a "creative misfire" that is "devoid of tune or melody",[5] while NME critic Steve Sutherland labelled it a "will-this-do Talking Headsy clunkalong".
[6] The video shows Blur on a 1960s/1970s-inspired "Variety Hour" talk show where they sit on a couch (embedded into the red floor) while a group of dancers in black (male) and white (female) MOD-esque outfits perform a dance routine to accompany the song during an interval break.
Those outfits are clearly inspired to the costumes created by the Sorelle Fontana for the dystopian movie “La decima vittima” by italian director Elio Petri.
