What Blur song was in the 1999 movie "Cruel Intentions"?

The story behind the answer

The Blur song in the 1999 movie Cruel Intentions was “Coffee & TV.” It appears during the park scene in which Kathryn and Cecile practice kissing, making it one of the film’s memorable alternative-rock selections.

“Coffee & TV” was released by Blur in 1999 as part of the band’s sixth studio album, 13. Graham Coxon sings the lead vocal, an unusual choice for Blur at the time, and the song’s subdued guitar-pop sound contrasts with some of the band’s more experimental work on the album.

The track is also famous for its whimsical music video, directed by Garth Jennings. It follows a walking milk carton searching for a missing person, a character often called Milky. That video helped make the song especially recognizable during the late-1990s music-television era.

Viewers sometimes confuse it with other songs from the film, particularly Placebo’s “Every You Every Me,” Counting Crows’ “Colorblind,” or The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony.” All are associated with Cruel Intentions, but “Coffee & TV” is the Blur track.
