Pulp - Cocaine Socialism (Proper Version)

[valtairlovato]

Great song, isn't it?

[brandedhousecat]

The last minute of this song fucking rocks!

[brandedhousecat]

The structure is scarily similar of Common People. As I wrote that Jarvis said "Common People" wtf? OK maybe I'm just missing the joke.

[DIGIxPUNKx1996]

For a minute I considered reading the lyrics.

Then I thought "nah".

So much for that small rebellion.

[puppynut5]

Just heard this band today on the Documentary Erasing David... Had to use an app on my phone to figure out what it was. These guys are amazing... Don't get exposed to many bands from the UK here in the US unless they become Internationally famous. I'm sure I'm missing out on a lot of sick bands though.

[milton1969able]

@puppynut5 ..try 6music (BBC radio 6) not sure if u can get it in the states , but its worth trying .top station with GOOD tunes 24/7...non commercialised tunes or station

[Rockvoxxx]

“Well I mean taking drugs doesn’t help, that never helps in the situation, you don’t often hear people say; oooh since he’s been taking them drugs he’s such a nice person, he’s really come out of his shell, he’s really nice, he’s blossomed”---Jarvis Cocker..... LOl hilarious man

[tommymess]

simply fucking amazing!

[infactinview]

a bit like are you a hypnotist, flaming lips

[roryphelan]

Whats the point of this song?

What point is the song trying to make?

[rawrthedinosaur1]

@misspetedoherty Are you okay?

[misspetedoherty]

@rawrthedinosaur1 Thanks for beeing concerned, it's very sweet of you ! yes I'm feeling better today. It's true that I became nuts (it's written 2 weeks aggo) about 3 weeks ago when spentding a good part of the night watching videos with a friend. We are in Paris and I do not think this product named Feebreeze exist in England, it's a spray that's suppossed to make your house get ride of bad smells. The worst was that this add was on EVERY SINGLE videos we wanted to watch and that they were

[misspetedoherty]

@rawrthedinosaur1 no way to stop it, we had to watch the ENTIRE STUPID COMMERCIAL before the artits videos starts. After about 20 or 30 songs, I asked my friend who's younger than me if he knew "The Talking Heads" and his nutcase singr David Byrne. He didn't, I looked for "Stop making sense" thinking that we won't get any add on this oldist song, BUT THERE IT WAS AGAIN !... I WENT BESURK AND WROTE THIS COMMENT UNDER "STOP MAKING SENSE" My friend tried to stop me but I told him to fuck off, that

[rawrthedinosaur1]

[hsu1773]

Honestly, I prefer Glory days.

[USERNAMEfieldempty]

Fuck Tony Blair! A leader of the labour party who was a friend of George Bush! Fuck the cunt!

[ohfoolishworkerbee]

this shoudlve been the proper follow-up to common people.

[TitiProductions2011]

Why does pulp still being te best band in the world?

Just , we are sorted .

[jrbgeog]

Terrific b side. Great reflection on the times.

[Kaldhore]

I can imagine some of *our* vocalist stars actually doing the first verse, But we'd hunt them and kill them for that yet buy hello or some other crak to hear the gossip. we are the crap that slimes the planet. say one thing and believe another.

[Stonejohn28]

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[waxyway]

Requiem for the european welfare state.

[Lysimachus]

This is fantastic. Pulp are my favourite band by far.

[mrbriansykes35]

Oh God am I becoming a Pulp fan .I just wanted to hear Dishes. Never heard this

[MrGirlshit]

BELLISSIMA, BRAVI!!!!! GOOD GOOD

[kaliyuta]

wow.

[DrRoy1]

An indictment of the government's flirtation with Cool Britannia, of entryism, of so many Britpop bands going out in a coked-out blaze... Simply perfect. Although it does sound a lot like Common People.

[Gareth7685]

Great stuff - thanks for posting.

[flamingpiebaker]

Jarvis this is excellent !

Oscar301 got it right and I wish I said first, the comment is perfect. I agree 100%. Thumbs up vote from me for you.

[SofaVision]

Great lyrics..

[devrimhan1971]

best bad after the smiths, great lyrics great jarvis, great music

[Oscar301]

the lyrics are sharp and beautiful as a diamond

[chuckdee121]

This is a hit record! This would have been massive!

[SofaVision]

Great sound even better lyrics

[eamo95]

I actually prefer Glory Days but the lyrics in this were certainly apt for the time.

[itsthatsebguy93]

i have most of there albums :D

[sonetlumiere12345678]

I think glory days was a hybrid of this song. I prefer this song either way.

[thebeta83]

And I love Pulp

[hermanncherusker]

i love cocaine

[loumiller4]

Isn't this pretty much the exact same tune as Glory Days?

[secretchristian]

loumiller4 (6 days ago)

It is his tune and so why are you asking?

[loumiller4]

Yeah but its kind of a let down... this song has such excellent lyrics, so I kind of wish it had its own original tune. That may just be me though

[gillesbeg]

This is a fantastic song... the sort of song that people loved Pulp for.

Why this wasn't released as a single I don't know. It might have burst Tony Blair's bubble at precisely the right time.

[corkscrewfoley]

@gillesbeg Jarvis said they left it off the album because it sounded too much like Common People, oddly enough Glory Days is just as guilty.

[KingsEnglish]

Glory Days is a reworking of Cocaine Socialism.

[harshlight7]

@KingsEnglish is this about an encounter with mr. blair? a yank wants to know

[doctea]

@corkscrewfoley I heard it that Jarvis lost his political balls and had a bit of a breakdown, and that's why this wasn't released as-is and was instead resurrected as Glory Days.

[gollymctabby]

So did this version appear on any album? As a b-side on a single maybe? A burglar nipped all my CDs from the 90s a few years back, I can't remember if I had this on anything.

[palehoney]

This version ('Proper') first surfaced on the deluxe reissue of This Is Hardcore released in 2006, while the original Cocaine Socialism was tacked onto the A Little Soul single back in 1998.

[hardonnetwo]

@gollymctabby There's a burglar with good fucking taste out there, cha mone. lol

[lamprosk2001]

brilliant! in every possible way!

[Eidelmania]

In 2007 a CIA plane crashed w/ 40 tons of cocaine. Prohibition is a scam, legalize the coca leaf now. Let them drink coca tea!!!!

[su79nioj]

Link please or did not happen.

[Eidelmania]

Or better yet google with words cia cocaine and mexico or 2007

[23flowergirl]

So what's Jarv doing now?

[tomthaking3]

second solo album is out next month

[gollymctabby]

Splendid! I've never heard this.

[tomthaking3]

it's about when they all got invited to 10 downing street, and supposedly snorted loads of coke in tony blair's presence

[Pimaszgrimasz]

Jarv babe...:)))

[soleilika]

really nice slide-show... really :)

[luqas99]

AWEsome pictures in this slide-show... And tremendous song.

[danshaggy292]

It's quite like "Glory Days" from 'This Is Hardcore'. I like.

[Dreamer9977]

Cocaine Socialism was the first version, they changed it in Glory Days.

[WeeklyComicReview]

this song is amazing

[LadyApple1976]

Great video, great song.

[SofaVision]

GREAT LYRICS!!!

[joesoap2006]

Very much so.

Shame Pulp fizzled out.

[rafishtut]

"Please do not read the lyrics whilst listening to the recording"

[chespoe]

why dont? i don get it?

[DerBoexnerGammler]

look through his'n hers album, you'll find it

[norwaytoday]

I think it is in every single Pulp's booklet...

[storageheater]

Damn you, I thought I was clever for wanting to put that comment. 11 months too late! *shakes fist*

[drykid]

This is really good. These slideshow videos look so much better when there's some kind of panning or zooming of the images to add a bit of movement, as with this one. And of course it helps that the song is great :)

[edvard1977]

great video

[MISTERKILTRO]

Felicitaciones!!! buen video

[dusnt]

great video man congratulations

make more
