- 'Substitute' is a
1966 hit by The Who which Blur were asked to
cover
for the tribute album 'Who Covers Who'. Alas, the
band were specially
hungover on the day in question and spent much of
their time arguing.
Graham declined to teach the song to Alex. The
ensuing performance
is incriminatingly reckless. Entering
hot-headedly at 0.06 Dave
accelerates the song around 150 per cent - Graham
tries to slow it back
down again at 1.59, to no avail - Damon fluffs
several of Pete Townshend's
lyrics, including some world-famous ones. To cap
the débâcle, CM Discs
contrived to omit graham's first guitar chord
from the song's introduction.
Damon calls 'Substitute' Blur's worst ever
performance on record, and
refuses to have a copy o the album in his house.
