"Blurred" is a single released by dance music artist Pianoman on 3 June 1996.
The song is a mix of mid-'90s dance production (such as a prominent synthesizer riff running throughout the song), a sample of the chorus from the Blur song "Girls & Boys", and a piano melody from Jimi Polo's "Better Days", that comes in whenever the Blur sample does. It was a big hit in Ibiza in 1995 before being officially released the next year.
The song reached number 6 on the UK Singles Chart,[2] after Blur approved the sample (Blur initially disliked the use of the sample, until they saw the success the track had attained in clubs across Europe).[citation needed] It remains Pianoman's only hit single.
