The artwork was designed by Mel Ramos and shows a naked woman riding a hippopotamus. An enlarged picture was used almost ten years later to promote the live tour "The Singles Night".[4][5]

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.

Release

"She's So High" reached number 48 in the UK Singles Chart.[6] It was named NME's single of the week^{[citation needed]}, and was later included on Blur: The Best Of over higher-charting tracks, an indication of its ultimate popularity. It is one of the few tracks from that album that the band have continued to perform live throughout their career.

[ru] She’s So High

«She’s So High» — песня группы Blur, которая увидела свет на вышедшем 15 октября 1990 года дебютном сингле группы, вместе с песней «I Know». Сингл поднялся до 48 позиции в чарте синглов Великобритании, попав в него неделей ранее десятью позициями ниже. Тем не менее, сингл был назван журналом NME синглом недели и много позднее попал в компиляцию Blur: The Best Of взамен других песен, превзошедших эту в чартах, что указывало на крайнюю популярность песни. Также это первый трек дебютного альбома группы — Leisure (1991). Рекламные постеры сингла с изображением обнажённой женщины на гиппопотаме с обложки сингла вызвали волнение и уничтожались феминистами в Хакни.
