Song 2 by English band Blur certainly will be remembered by many people for its chorus led by the trademark ‘Woohoo’ that vocalist Damon Albarn screams with intensity and passion. It has been a known fact that Song 2 did give the band some mainstream success in the U.S. I do think this happened simply because the chorus carried the song in grand fashion. The ‘Woohoo’ adds a lot of catchiness into the track. The line made the chorus sound very bearable and very pleasant even if one tries to repeat the chorus endlessly.

The guitar riffs also were smooth. They helped in creating some momentum for the track. Albarn’s vocals are not at all annoying. In fact, the vocals sounded very awesome. In the end, the elements of the track, especially the chorus and the guitar riffs, all fell into the right place for the track. The chorus is definitely the track’s shining moment. Without a shadow of a doubt, Song 2 is a classic. Woohoo!
