A new Graham Coxon track written especially for the Channel 4 comedy Fresh Meat will air on the station tonight (November 20th).
Speaking to The Sun, who describe the song as ‘deliberately dodgy’, Coxon has said:
“It’s sort of based on some of my stuff, really. A lot of the songs that didn’t end up on albums were even more pathetically angst-ridden than the one for Fresh Meat. I once had this room that was so small I had to cut up a mattress to get it in. I remember sitting on there and being totally and absolutely in love, hardly sleeping and going bonkers.”
Actor Joe Thomas will perform the track on the show, and has told Channel 4 that while being ‘filmed busking in the style of Blur’ was a special moment, “On the downside I have to sing but on the upside it is a song written by Graham Coxon from Blur who are pretty much my favourite band of all time.”
