47. ‘Advert’
On 'Modern Life Is Rubbish'. Produced by Stephen
Street.
Energetic and faintly reminiscent of Seymour, 'Advert'
helped cement the re-marriage between Blur and Street. The crashing A/G
guitar riff originally began the song, until the Toytown keyboard phrase
was introduced. The siren noises are from a megaphone designed for crowd
control that Damon picked up on the band's first Japanese tour. "Food
processors are great" was sampled by Damon from the Shopping Channel at
Maison Rouge with another toy, a Casio SK1 (or SKI as it's fondly known)
keyboard with built-in sampler, purchased for 20 dollars in Cleveland.
The advert is still running currently.
