[edit] Story behind the song
When introducing the song at the band's first ever gig at The Roundhouse in Camden Town, Albarn said that the song started out as a love song but then "a whale came up the Thames and it turned into a song about a whale". A whale ventured into the Thames on 20 January 2006 [1], and this is where Albarn probably got the inspiration for the lyrics.
[edit] Music
The song starts with a synthesised part playing staccato crotchets. This riff is sequenced throughout the song. Light percussion woodblocks are added after a short while. The bass guitar joins the synthesiser and plays with it throughout the song.
