Songs That Could Be Movies: Blur

7 fantastic Blur tracks that should be scripts…

Bugman (1999)

 

Damon Albarn has said the Bugman is a paedophile trying to go straight. We'll take him at his word, and give the subject the Hollywood treatment...

The Movie:

When gruesome paedophile Barry Skaargle is murdered and dumped in a swamp by his victims, they think they’re safe…

But when the teenagers start dying one-by-one in insect-related deaths (burnt by a massive magnifying glass, arms pulled off like wings, crushed into paste by huge newspapers), they realise that Skaaargle has returned from the dead. As the Bugman!

The Cast: Hayden Panettiere is the biggest star in this thing.

Sample Dialogue
:

The Bugman starts advancing on Jake, muttering under his rancid breath.


Bugman: “I am an ex offender. They let me out in the summer.”

Jake’s girlfriend Karly spots the creature looming up behind Jake, cockroaches and worms falling from his body. She screams.

Karly: “Look out for the Bugman!”

But Jake doesn’t hear her properly.

Jake: “Hang on…”

Karly’s shaking with fear, and tries to warn Jake again.

Karly: “The bu uh uh ug man!”

      I always thought Iron Maiden songs would make good movies, The Trooper, Aces High, Hallowed be thy name, Dream of Mirrors, Moonchild. Metallica as well.. Fade to black, The Thing that should not be, One, Harvester of Sorrow The Unforgiven, The Memory remains.. are all like mini-films,
