“Music Is My Radar” is the single of the British alternative rock band Blur . “Music Is My Radar” is a non-album single released in support of the Blur: The Best Of . The original version of the song was recorded in 1992 , but it has never been included in any studio album. The video for this song was not included in the DVD / VHS version of the compilation and remains the only Blur video clip that was not released commercially. In addition, the compilation provided lyrics of all the songs, with the exception of Music Is My Radar. This happened because initially the b-side "Black Book" was planned as a single.
