Favorite "#" Songs #1 - "Song 2"

Tweet

WHOO HOOO! We are at the top spot in my Favorite "#" Songs series, which is songs with numbers in the title, with the numbers not spelled out. (Be sure to check out the number series that @FourWalls is doing right now as well.) The #1 spot belongs to "Song 2" by Blur. Catchy and fun, "Song 2" is from Blur's 1997 self-titled album, and is highly recognizable thanks to vocalist Damon Albarn's joyous shouts of "WHOO HOOO" throughout the tune. It stalled at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100, but fared better with the alternative crowd, reaching #6 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song hit #2 in the UK, and Top 10 in three other countries. "Song 2" remains relevant all these years later. National Hockey League teams blast it after the home team scores, wins, or even if the crowd just needs a pick me up. Not too bad for a song that was originally meant as a parody of grunge. As I said, it's a blast! (Info verified by Wikipedia)
