Don't Bomb When You're the Bomb

"Don't Bomb When You're the Bomb"
Song

"Don't Bomb When You're the Bomb" is a 2002 single released by Blur as a 7" vinyl single. The largely electronic piece was recorded towards the start of the sessions for Think Tank.

The track was inspired by the Iraq conflict hence the Arabic text on the red labels. 1000 copies were pressed.

According to Damon Albarn, when a box of these vinyls were going through customs, one of the boxes were labeled "bomb". This led to the boxes being handed over to the police and being destroyed in a controlled explosion.

The track was included in the band's Blur 21 box set in 2012.
