Blur - The Universal

I see Clockwork Orange in it!!! wooo woo...

Blur - The Universal
Directed - Jonathan Glazer



oh...
A highly-acclaimed music video for the song was directed by Jonathan Glazer.[1] The band is presented in imitation of the opening scenes from the 1971 film A Clockwork Orange, in the milk bar. Blur star as the quasi-Droogs, complete with Damon Albarn wearing eyeliner similar to the film. They perform in the bar in all-white.

The bar patrons consist of different groups; a lone female entertains male business colleagues by exploiting their sexual interest in her; two odd men entirely coloured red and blue conduct a stilted (subtitled) conversation; and two male colleagues – one of them in a priest in a vicar's dog collar – become increasingly drunk on cocktails, laughing more and more hysterically until a final shock moment which eventually leads us to seeing the priest planting a kiss on him at the last second of the video.

The golf ball-shaped speaker featured in the video was sold in a charity auction in 1999.
