"She's So High" is a song by Blur and was released as a double a-side with "I Know" on 15 October 1990 as their debut single, reaching #48 in the UK Singles Chart having entered ten places lower the previous week (see 1990 in British music). Nevertheless, it was named NME's single of the week and was included on Blur: The Best of over higher-charting tracks, an indication of its ultimate popularity. It was also the first track on the band's first album, Leisure, released in 1991. Promotional posters for the single, which had a woman naked on a hippo, from the single sleeve, caused uproar and were ripped down by feminists in Hackney.
[edit] Music video
On the MTV Blurography special of 1996, in which the band members talked about the promotional videos, drummer Dave Rowntree recalled, "The head of our record company, David Balfe, wanted to try his hand at video directing. There were these neon rings suspended from the ceiling by three wires, each with someone holding a wire. He [Balfe] wanted these people to wobble the wires so that the neon rings would move. He kept shouting, 'I haven't seen the definitive wobble yet!'". Lead singer Damon Albarn appeared in a Penguin Books shirt, which has become something of a cult icon.
