Seven ages of rock - a history of rock music over the past 50 years

Blur single 'Girls and Boys'

1994

Inspired by a holiday in Magaluf (Greece), Damon wrote this song to honour the rampant 18-30 Club Med culture. He said later that it had "a very strong sexuality about it. I just love the whole idea of it, to be honest. I love herds. All these blokes and all these girls meeting at the watering hole and then just copulating. There's no morality involved, I'm not saying it should or shouldn't happen."
