The line
"You'll never fail like common people, you'll never watch your life slide out of view"
always hits me hard.
In case you didn't know, he wrote this about a real Greek girl he met who really was at St Martin's College studying sculpture. Fantastic critique of class divide in Britain - Pulp deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as Blur and Oasis in terms of mid-90s British pop.
I prefer them to both bands. Jarvis is a sensation. Did you ever watch that docu-series he created which featured folk art from around Europe? Can't quite place the name, but it was really fun: )
Yanis Varoufakis' wife, supposedly
@Rose Madder Also a far-left politician and Greek Finance Minister during the IMF/ECB/EU Greek bailout. Advocated all sort of revolutionary shit and ended up doing nothing.
I never think of Pulp as a Britpop band - I think they just got caught up in that whole scene by accident. I was once staggering up Shaftesbury Avenue in West London at 2 in the morning back in the early nineties and I needed to grab cash for a night bus from a an ATM and there was this noisy bloke in the queue in front of me talking very loudly to the girl he was with. When he turned around it was Jarvis Cocker and I kinda wished I paid more attention to what he was saying. Haha.
@Rose Madder YES! That's it! Thank you:)
While all the "cool kids" were fighting over who was better between Oasis & Blur, the real cool kids were jamming out to Pulp. Lipgloss is one of my favourites along with Do You Remember the First Time? & most everything else on the His N Hers album.
Yup same here! Clever songs. Just annoyed I didn't see them in Nottingham in '94 in a room above a pub! (just before they got really big)
Absolutely.
Pulp and The Bluetones..
His N Hers takes me back, my 15 year old self played that album to death back in mid-nineties.
Damn right
Still play all my Pulp albums to this day. Got bored of Oasis & Blur years ago.
The Auteurs were pretty great too.
Missing lyrics from the album version:
Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out
They'll tear your insides out
'Cos everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stains and grease will come out in the bath
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why
And they cut "screw" from the 3rd verse.
Yep, it's basically missing the best part and the whole point of the song - strange editing.
THank you so much for adding this! I always thought they should've kept these in the radio version, since they're among the best and most biting of the whole song.
@Rose Madder Also interesting use of a double meaning - screw can mean to mess up (mentally) as in play or toy with another
Thats my fav verse too!!
here’s a fun anecdote: Jarvis Cocker, the lead singer of Pulp was arrested at the 1996 Brit Awards after mooning Michael Jackson on stage. “I showed me bum bum to Michael.” he said afterwards. What a legend!
Yes, but he only wiggled his bum without pulling down his pants, (trousers). The media exaggerated what happened as usual.
LIterally the moment I said "I need to check out whatever band this guy is in." Best decision ever.
Even better, Bob Mortimer was his solicitor.
@@jedislap8726 Really??!! 🤯
@@rabbitsonjupiter6824 Yeah, he was at the BRITS too and when Jarvis was detained he went with him to the Police Station and became his solicitor.
I love this song! All about rich kids wanting to slum it "for the experience" - but they can run home when it gets too much.. Very British humour.. but making a serious point!
We've all known them that slum it, I know one guy who lived in a council flat in South East London and spoke with a "geordie" accent , in really his family were property developers who lived on the Sussex coast in a thatched cottage and he came from Bucks lol. It was like, I'm skint, give me 10 grand dad, whilst everyone else was lucky to be able to borrow 20 quid from our mums lol. Honestly everyone used to have the piss out of him, some more than others. This great track from Pulp, hit the nail right on the head!
Don't take it too literally it's more about jarvis being as cool as ####. Jarvis can't even remember who the girl is is more about him
@@gazm4751 it's about British Class differences! The lyrics are all about that, how poor people can't easily escape from bad housing, poor job/life prospects - the line about "watching roaches climb the wall" - and how she could just phone her Dad to get her out of a crummy flat. Jarvis is from Sheffield - used to be thriving place till Steel Works and Coal Mines shut.. He knows the score!
@@biddylisduff
Don't take it literally
@@gazm4751 it's what Jarvis meant, literally! Stop telling me what to think dude, other people agree it's about Class.. Think you're taking it too seriously lol
Disco 2000 is another great Pulp song to react to.
Agreed
Also, "Babies" and "Do you remember the first time?". I generally prefer "HIs 'n' Hers" to "A Different Class" as "Pink Glove" is one of my favourite album tracks of theirs.
I have had Disco 2000 on heavy rotation this past month. Out of nowhere, I needed to hear it
@@jasonwebb71 definitely would love to see his reaction to Babies or Live Bed Show 😅
my favourite pulp song!!
Choon! Only Pulp can make a biting critique of trustafarians, mockneys and slummers so much fun!
They're from Sheffield in northern England - they genuinely knew about poverty and deprivation.
And the lovely Sadie Frost as a bonus.
Pity it's a censored version though.
All time fav song from my Uni days. I'm from Grimsby and had a flatmate just like this (his Dad had a company send him a box of wine every month LOL)
@@ross8884 Ha ha! Same - I went to uni in Stoke-on-Trent, and for the first few months some of my new southern and affluent friends wandered round looking shell-shocked!
To be fair, though, not one of them gave up, and I grew to love how game they were!
@@clairenoon4070 I was at uni in Stoke on Trent. One woman on my course had a helicopter pad in the garden at her family home. Not sure what she made of Shelton 😂. It was also a Fine Art degree, she studied painting rather than sculpture.
@@ross8884 grimsby ganggggg, I mean man great people but “grim”sby, if you’ve got seasonal depression it is certainly true
@@watersideanimals215 Did you get a lift in with her ever? If not she was a tight arse !
I still can’t figure out why they censored the word “screw”.
I know right? That's crazy! This looks the official video too. Can't see the band agreeing to censorship.
Coz they had nothing else to do!
they don't like DIY references. Similar issues with Hammer Time
@@jennymckinnon9528 Don't think it had anything to do with D. I. Y. LOL...
They censor damn
And now pipe
About as 90s British as a track gets
Can't believe they censored 'screw'.
Anyway, William Shatner did a version of this song.
A surprisingly good version.
@@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures I think it's better...
@@crikeythesplund Of course you do
It's pretty good - Joe Jackson does the singing.
I came here to comment this! I love his version!
This is easily one of the greatest singles recorded in the past 40 years. No question, it’s an absolute masterpiece.
I also love Disco 2000
Yep you got the story Jarvis was singing about, another popular track Pulp had out was Disco 2000 🌟
The entire Different Class album is fantastic!
Disco 2000 is my generations Mr Brightside. Masterpiece!
Your name was Debera it never suited ya. What a great line...
That's my fave
Loving how Jay looks slightly bemused at first, only by the end to have got the story spot-on. Just as an advisory to the US market, the line "smoke some fags" means "smoke some cigarettes"
Fag as a derogatory term for gay man is an Americanism anyway. Not that the British couldn't be caustic on the subject. We are older and wiser now. Thanks be to reason.
So incredibly English :) I do love Pulp, they tell great stories, Jarvis is an amazing front man and they are an entire vibe. Fantastic live too.
Love the violin..
Pulp were huge in the UK during the 90s. The lyrics to their songs are always really interesting, and often quite tongue-in-cheek. Good stuff!
You picked up the meaning of the lyrics quickly, for a song so different to your musical experience you did a brilliant job. Its a good song with a good strong meaning.
My personal best song of the 90s. The album version has an extra and very important verse.
It's sad that that verse doesn't get played more
Exactly. That missing verse sets a fire in the middle of the song that elevates it to perfection.
Like a dog lying in a corner
We will bite you, and never warn you
Look out
We'll tear your insides out
'cuz everybody Hayes a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all just a laugh
And chip stains and grease will come out in the bath...
“Help the Aged” and “This is Hardcore” are both great Pulp songs worth checking out.
One of Top 10 songs on my playlist of all time! I got to see them in London at the Brixton Academy in 1995 when Pulp was one of the hottest bands in the UK. When they played this song LIVE--mosh pits and pogo dancing all over the place. This song was an anthem for a generation of kids in the UK. Jarvis's song writing is amazing and the way he sings his songs...almost talking to you at times...very different! Thanks for reacting to this one! Most songs from Different Class are great as well! Cheers!
Nice going brother. The same year a festival at Rounday park in Leeds .I saw them and it was incredible, the band was enjoying themselves and they hadn't come down to earth yet. I was pissed and stoned and young and the world seemed so natural then. Didn't it?
So happy you got here! Love Pulp and this song is awesome.
The albu this comes from is called DIFFERENT CLASS. The entire album is a brilliant study in class disparity and the issues and human interaactions that come along with it. The songs are all also incredibly catchy and fun.
This is a brilliant song. Loved since it first came out.
Another monster song from the 90’s “Britpop” era is “The Universal” by Blur.
Please consider reacting to it. Cheers 🥂
Why was I always drawn to Charmless Man? AND why am I always drawn to charmless men? lol
@Rose Madder Do you mean the terraced housing we see in this video? I'm not sure. You're right about it all looking quite similar:)
It has a fantastic video and I love the very emotional live version from Hyde Park 2012. However, I don´t think it´s among their best songs. Not too fond of their Britpop phase in general. Gimme "Music Is My Radar"...that guitar... that video
Great homage to Stanley Kubricks a clockwork orange
The nouveau-disco hipster vibe of the song is not an accident, it's all part of the satire.
Years later, William Shatner (yes, THAT William Shatner) did a cover of this song in an angrier, more punkish style. It got the point across, but it's the sarcasm of the original that kind of sells it, in my opinion.
You totally nailed the meaning of this song. We used to listen to it at school and just thought it was cool but definitely didn't get it back then. Always enjoy your reactions bro, much love and respect from one of the UK's common people.
Pulp from Sheffield England my hometown.
Jarvis Cocker was a genius lyricist. My favourite of theirs was "I spy", a song about revenge, and lyrically a masterpiece, hope you listen to it someday :)
It's hard to describe, to someone from another time and place, how emblematic this song is of the whole mid-'90s 'Britpop' era to those of us who were there. As others will have noted, the infamous Oasis-Blur rivalry got a lot of the attention at the time and in retrospect, but Pulp were virtually as big as either band and, in Common People, put out a song in that same summer of '95 that caught the zeitgeist better than basically anyone.
They, and in particular lead singer and songwriter Jarvis Cocker, were a slightly unusual proposition in ways that this video doesn't really show. He was a bit older than the other acts surfing the genre's newfound wave of popularity, I think he was 32 at the time, and with his awkward angular frame, gawky dancing, brown tweedy suits and spectacles he looked completely removed from the insistently 'blokey' casual look favoured by most up-and-coming bands on the scene, especially in the wake of Oasis. He had founded the original version of the band (then called Arabacus Pulp) all the way back in 1978 as a 15-year-old schoolboy - so he/they'd been around the block a fair few times already, scuffing around the fringes of the music scene making little impact for years, until they finally broke through with 1994's _His and Hers_ album and their first charting singles Do You Remember the First Time? and Babies.
When Common People appeared though it was an instant classic, which blew their previous chart positions out of the water by entering at #2 in May 1995 - behind a huge-selling cover version of the standard Unchained Melody recorded by TV actors Robson Green & Jerome Flynn, a textbook case (in the vein of Ultravox's Vienna being held off by Joe Dolce Music Theatre's Shaddup You Face) of an acknowledged iconic song being denied Number One by something that... um... wasn't. Lyrically, as you noticed Jayvee while listening to it, it was the inspired-by-real-events tale of a rich foreign student girl who wanted to see how the 'common people' lived, kind of like we would look at animals in a zoo - as particularly ruthlessly skewered by the extra verse in the album version of the song, which someone else has already posted the lyrics for here. Sonically, as you also noticed, the beat keeps increasing too - so while the song may start out somewhere in the vicinity of your average slice of indie pop, by the end it's mutated into a furious disco banger.
The following month they performed a rapturously-received set at the Glastonbury Festival, as last-minute stand-ins for the Stone Roses, then in September their follow-up single, the double A-sided Mis-Shapes/Sorted For E's and Wizz also made #2. The album _Different Class_ was released in the October and immediately topped the charts, and in the November the third single came out - DIsco 2000. Although it 'only' reached #7 at the time, it's the only other song of theirs that really begins to match up to Common People in terms of how well it's remembered and how much it still gets played. It'll probably be the most requested follow-up here for you to react to!
For the next year Pulp were one of the biggest bands in Britain and Jarvis was one of the most famous people. The aftereffects of this would be felt, however. Their subsequent album _This Is Hardcore_ did not appear until 1998, and although a chart-topper too was a much darker affair, heavily informed by the fallout of sudden fame and fortune, which in retrospect represents perfectly the 'curdling' of the Britpop dream. The extraordinary title track to that would certainly be something to react to, but it's a six-and-a-half-minute psychodrama a _long_ way removed from the shininess of Common People...
Thanks for that 'potted history' of Pulp. I agree with every word (I grind my teeth at the very mention of Robson & Jerome, but them keeping Common People off Number One was an unforgiveable sin!). I just went from it and put on the This is Hardcore video, and my goodness my mood plummeted after the high of Common People, that's not to say it isn't a great song too, but the contrast in moods, in worlds, is something else, as you say, it's a long way removed...
@@sophiapangloss2149 Haha, yes I don't think I'd recommend going straight from one to the other without diverting via, say, I Spy or Underwear first. I think it's a grossly underrated song and a minor classic at the very least, and by far my favourite track on the _This Is Hardcore_ album, but yeah my goodness it's a bit of a downer and (in hindsight) was the moment their superstardom and chart positions fell off a cliff. Thanks for the kind words meanwhile - and my apologies for the traumatising mention of R****n & J****e ;)
Yeah, This Is Hardcore was sonically removed and different from Common People and Disco 2000, but, at least for me, it is the pinnacle for Pulp. It is dirty, raw, sexy, and sleazy…in the best possible way. Much in the way that separates Pulp from Oasis and Blur. That song really continued in the vein of I Spy and Pencil Skirt. It is honest and real…Pulp, and Jarvis, were honest and real, much more than their Britpop “competitors.”
I LOVE Pulp, the singer Jarvis Cocker is a great storyteller... next you will enjoy "This is Hardcore", that song is also fantastic ! Great reaction, your analysis was on point ! ;)
"I like your 'get up' if you know what I mean..."
This brings me back to when Britpop was at its peak in the mid 90s.
If you did enjoy this you might Enjoy other songs like this.
Parklife (Blur) Alright (Supergrass) Disco 2000 (Pulp) Slight Return (Bluetones) Neighbourhood (Space) Tubhumping (Chumbawamba)
im guessing your round 40 too :) what an era. bit of Oasis in there too and some phonics
@@stevensteele1982 How about. More Life in a Tramps Vest. The title always made me laff.. Miss heard lyric always thought it was More Life in a Transvest !!!
Great times!! I'm 41 so this is spot on my era
@@robdee9341 lol would be an interesting song for sure. seen phonics live they played that and traffic.
@@admusik99 near 40 so mine too, 90s britpop takeover had some great songs. manics were good too
WOW, JV that was an excellent breakdown. You get the song better than most people who listened to it at the time. Nicely done man.
Haha, had this on high rotation back in the 90's. Definitely a different vibe, but a good one.
Glad to see you enjoyed Pulp, check out more of their stuff and the lead singer Jarvis Cocker s solo stuff and new band JARV IS
Absolute stone cold classic of a song.Anyone who doesn't get it it dead inside.
Yes I l
This was (as was the album) a definite call to arms for all the broken, downtrodden, mis-shapes, mistakes and misfits that I probably did, and probably still do, belong to. Thanks for listening to it Jay, love to see people appreciating classic songs from my 20s! New subscriber by the way! And if you haven't already may I suggest Echo & The Bunnymen? (Songs like The Cutter, The Killing Moon, Bring on the Dancing Horses, Do it Clean, Lips Like Sugar etc)
Jarvis Cocker is the missing link between Alan Bennett and Scott Walker. His lyrics are up there with Ray Davies and Elvis Costello for sheer wit and observations of the class divide.
It was great to see Pulp finally getting the attention they richly deserved, after years on the margins.
Pulp at the very peak of their powers was utterly glorious.
Yes been banging on about the similarities between pulp and the links for decades now.
*Kinks damn spellcheck.
Here's a thought! I have never seen anyone react to The Streets. If you want a different vibe, something you definitely haven't heard before (or, at least, not really, kinda, but not!). I'd start with "Blinded by the Lights". Very, very English too, just like Pulp!
Fit But You Know It would be an *amazing* reaction!
Omg yes! This. All of this.
Push Things FORward.
The whole album, a grand don't come for free, is brilliant. Great story arc through each track.
"Dont mug yourself" outstanding track from The Streets
I went to an Oasis gig in Sheffield. The Verve were supposed to be the support band but I believe the Guitarist broke his arm and the band pulled out. Pulp stepped in at the last moment as a surprise guest, in their home town. Lets just say, Pulp let loose! One of the best gigs I've ever been to.
Lyrically brilliant and musically stellar. A long crescendo. A classic.
From my city, full of common people 🤣 Sheffield! Damn you made me feel very old when you said it was 25 years ago 😬 time flies!
We might be common but we're bloody great people! The best 😍
Pulp!! So many classics. Glad you've finally listened to them. Please get to Disco 2000, Do You Remember The First Time, Something Changed & Like A Friend if you have the time!
I loved this song when it came out. And I just thought Jarvis Cocker was so cool. This is Hardcore was a favourite too.
Whenever I get down, it's music like this with a beat that represents like that of a heartbeat and gets you popping and smiling. Music can never ever get you down, and you Jayvee make a channel that can never make anyone down. It's absolutely awesome 💟👊🏽
Totally....
Someone gets it! Seems to go over the heads of many. Thanks for appreciating this classic.
You were spot on with your analysis of what this song was about!
there's more verses in the album version, where he goes on to say:
"Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stains and grease
Will come out in the bath
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why"
I love this band. Please also react to Disco 2000 from them. Very catchy. Jarvis Cocker sure can't dance, is a bit odd looking, but you still root for him lol
As @gino Verna pointed out there's a whole verse missing from the radio edit that says how brightly the common people live their lives despite everything being against them. Pulp are a great band who sang about everyday life, think my favourite of theirs is Babies which I'm sure will translate across the Atlantic. And if you want a measure of how this band are thought of in the UK check out the live version of Common People at Reading, absolutely superb.
Always a full story in their songs and they build and build, Disco 2000 was also a big hit, but my favourite is Do you remember the first time
Classic.
I love how you really listen to the lyrics and seem to really get them, in every song. Thanks for being so open-minded and for really listening! Love your reactions.
I saw the band at a gig in Belfast in the Ulster Hall when they were touring this album. All I can say is that it was one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen. The album may have been called “Different Class” - but they gave a world class performance. Pulp were/are great and Jarvis is a dude.
Some fun history. Pulp stepped in for the Stone Roses at the 1995 Glastonbury festival. It could have gone horribly wrong as the Stone Roses were one of the most loved bands of the time. But when Pulp performed "Common People" the place went CRAZY.
Link here:
ua-cam.com/video/BwrXAxcy1X0/v-deo.html
Yep, I was there! :)
This is a genre of English bands in the 90’s. They have another cool song called Mile End from the Trainspotting movie album, which is a great album.
I find myself randomly singing some of the lyrics. It's such a depressing slice of life!
@@tamcon72 Same
I spy from the same album.
Man, I love this song. I thought of another awesome one for you a few days ago. Beck: Debra. You did Beck: Loser, previously. This is way, way, way different. Dude sounds like Prince in it. No video, but live version sounds identical to album version. I think you'll really enjoy the lyrics. Will be a good reaction video.
Every song on this album is the best 😊 But to narrow it down a bit, I suggest "Sorted for E's & Wizz", "Mis-Shapes" and "Bar Italia".
Jarvis Cocker the people poet, first saw them live in 1994.
Too many amazing songs to name.
Some of the best - Acrylic afternoons, Do you remember the first time?, Babies, Pink Glove.
Jarvis!!!!!!! So so pleased you watched the brilliant, original Pulp! I just love Jarvis Cocker. I've not been on UA-cam for a while, so so good to be back with you xx
I love your reaction to this classic song. 😂
I’d love to see you review William Shatner performing this song (along with Joe Jackson) on his 2004 album Has Been. It’s a great album. The track where he talks about finding his wife dead in the pool is gut wrenching.
It was a surprisingly decent album. I think Ben Folds produced.
'Has Been' really is a surprisingly good album!
YAY!!! Looooooove this song!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Your reaction was absolutely perfect. You really understood the point of the song period in the 90's when this came out what attracted me to it was that it was just so different sounding and I just fell in love with it from there
Such a sick song man... like i said previously...blast it..s a loud song.... shatter the class devide. 😍 pulp knew the script..wish they still made songs...
I thought the William Shatner version was the original! I’ve been set straight. It is hilarious to hear James T. Kirk singing about sleeping with common people since the captain was a notorious alien skirt chaser
Music was so good back then. This brings back so many memories, I was 20 when this came out, it was a massive hit!
J please react to Scarlet «Independent love song». Amazing tune from the nineties!
Thank you for your wonderful reactions!
Oh my goodness....so few people would have suggested Independent Love Song....but so many people should!
Tuuuuune! Love it!!!
Next you have gotta do Blur and the song Parklife.
Said this before . I've watched countless reactions..be it music tv or film and this is my fav... Probably my all time fav reaction to anything.. jayvee got it... ❤ I'll always love this clip...
All time classic!! Look up some of the live versions on UA-cam they kill it live
Some more new artists for you, Danny Wilson - Mary's Prayer, The Kane Gang - Closest thing to Heaven, ABC - The Look of Love, Heaven 17 - Temptation, all big hits here in the UK, you would like all of them ❤️❤️❤️
Mary’s Prayer 😍 I still love that song, makes me smile.
😂😂 you caught ME off guard reacting to this!
Great band! Great reaction channel! Perfect combo 💪
You really ought to check out more of Pulps stuff. I Spy, Pink Glove, Babies, Do you remember the first time, Sylvia are amongst my personal favourites.
Next Pulp song should be Disco 2000!
So many great Polp doings. Try Disco 2000 or Babies or This is Hardcore. Really unique and very British band.
Do You Remember the First Time? is great, too.
@@berniemargolis4288
I can't remember a worst time 😅
Babies, sunrise, lipgloss. The entire Different Class album ..
@@berniemargolis4288 probably the best. How true!
Disccccooo 2000!
Effin' love Pulp. Also check out 'Babies', 'Do You Remember The First Time' and 'Like A Friend'
Such an anthem. Furious and so accurate.
I miss the 90s, when we could dance and drink and screw without having the sound muted.
Tune!!!! Song of my student days 😄 if you liked this you should definitely check out Park life by Blur
This is brit-pop at it's finest. I love their song 'Underwear.' Also if you like Pulp, check out Blur, 'Parklife' or 'There's no Other Way' are great songs. ✌️
If fashion is your trade
Then when you're naked
I guess you must be unemployed, yeah. Total classic!
@@jpeopolis 🙌
But Blur were the posh boys.
Yes! Love love love Pulp! 😍
I work fridays with my bro delivering chinese as a wee side gig and i love it.. cause he is a few years older n puts on a 90s pop radio station... always pumps me for 10pm when we finish and i can have a beer 😆 pulp always come on and the car is bedlam.... its such a fun song.. deep too but fuuun.. its one of my favs.. and every friday without fail i get to hear it..and so does pretty much anyone close to our car 😆
One thing I remember about Jarvis Cocker was him storming the stage during Michael Jackson performing Earth Song at an award show (i forget which) and was subsequently permanently banned
The Brit Awards, 1996. Had to look up which year.
@@paulqueripel3493 that's the one
I seem to remember Jarvis was offended that Jackson was miming...
@@theway.2634 i think he found the whole performance pretentious too
The full length album version is much better.
Yes this X 10
@@IntoTheWhite04 It really, really hammers home the insulting nature of her attitude in a way the single just doesn´t match.
Chills every time I hear that missing verse, even after 25 years. The anger is perfect, immediate and relevant
I'm so glad you got the point of the song.
Love from a common bugger from Wales. x
Jarvis has a house in a local Derbyshire village and the company I work for supplies the oil for his heating, he called in last winter when he ran out. Pulled up in a really vintage looking car(I know nothing about cars lol) wearing a full length fur coat, I got a pic with him 😀
Somebody else mentioned that while the kids who thought they were cool were fighting over Blur and Oasis, the really cool ones were keeping out of that and listening to Pulp.
And yep...
The song is based in fact, but it's also influenced by the fact that St Martin's college (an art school) had a reputation (not entirely fairly) that it, along with the Slade, another art school, was where rich girls went to slum it and be bohemian for a while, while they were waiting for husbands.
But I saw the stuff they were writing about at university in the 90s. Kids from well off backgrounds complaining about how desperately poor they were, while there was me, with no parental back up and no family, being really poor, and thinking 'yeah, but if you get kicked out you call your dad, if I get kicked out I'm sleeping in a doorway'.
Oh no you reacted to the crappy video version which is missing the best verse. I recommend that you check out the full album version.
Pulp was one of the brit bands that impress me the most during 90's with Blur. Please react to Disco 2000 by Pulp!

Thanks for a brilliant memory this was a classic so brilliant loved to dance and feel cool to it,you are getting into it ,how could you not thanks for the Emory keep them coming mags West Yorkshire 🇬🇧
From my home city, complete legands. Met most of of them and seen them live several times. Really miss pulp.
You nailed it. \\\Ive waitd so long for someone else to get it, Chapeau xx
I LOVE Pulp! If you want to try some more, my personal faves are Disco 2000 and This Is Hardcore.
Also William Shatner covered Common People and it’s… something to hear. 😂
Disco 2000 is another fantastic song from Pulp. I think you’d like it bro.
I wish Pulp was more popular in Canada when I was growing up, I feel like the world robbed me of their music. Thankfully I'm fully exposed to them now and love them so much!
Yes! Hoped you’d get round to Pulp. From my city and easily the band I’ve seen live more than any other. Check out some of their Glastonbury footage 👊
I've been requesting this one for so long and you upload it the one day I'm not around XD
I knew you'd pay attention to the lyrics. Jarvis is a great songwritter =) Next, try "Help the Aged", "Little Soul", "Disco 2000".
Wow, you reacted to Pulp. They were never that popular but they had some jams. We considered them “college radio” back in the day which meant alternative before the word lost all meaning. I saw them live at St Andrews Hall in Detroit sometime around 1996-7. I noticed this is the edited version:
“You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And you dance and drink and screw”
Proud to be from the same part of Sheffield as this guy, Legend round our way!
It's such a joy watching you listening and reacting to the music I love!
I’ve only heard this song for the first time maybe a couple of years ago and when I heard it, I swore it was from the 80’s. It has a David Bowie vibe so I was really surprised to know it was from the late 90’s. I never paid much attention to the lyrics because I was so hooked on the music. Great breakdown!! After reading comments I think I need to check out more of their music!!
So happy to hear some Pulp. This was from one of my favourite albums of all time, Different Class. Another couple of great songs from it would be Disco 2000 and Something Changed.
This is one of my favourite songs! So glad to see you react to this!
Checked the channel to see what you had today, say it was this song, and I was like "YEAH, lets see how Jay takes this one!". I love seeing you see stuff from my youth dude, keep it up.
You nailed the analysis on this one. Great work Jayvee! 🤝
He is from Sheffield same as me Sheffield England.❤
