Pulp -- Common People

[spakasam]

Long before 'hipsters' came and ruined everything we had music like this to soundtrack our lives.

[klaustrovian]

Anthem for the Britpop. I remember when this came out. Living in Brazil, I had to call an alternative radio station and ask for the song. That's how I've listened it for the first time. Of course downloading or listening online wasn't an option then. Romantic times.

[zeeBoBFiSH]

i like william shatner's cover of this

[TheSwainerz]

An anthem for the Netto Generation

[alexgbuk]

nice song

[amazingrapist]

The original by Shatter was a lot better.

[lenasz1]

@amazingrapist William Shatner's version was a COVER. Jarvis is the "original" songwriter.

[amazingrapist]

@lenasz1 ORLY?

[BeanWayne]

@amazingrapist You lack a real understanding of music.

[amazingrapist]

[roryrobinson]

@m4rt1n1983 No. I love this song, and a hell of a lot of 80's and 90's britpop music. Sorry, faggot.

[NosferatuMan5]

[DudeL26710]

[djapanaa]

[SuperMaraki16]

[palpatine17]

Jarvis Cocker is the MAN.

[FohShizzleMahNizzlez]

The music video is epic! His dancing is hilarious!

[DannyMan167]

It's the Doctor (10) or Jarvis Cocker in space

[JBOX1993]

jackass 3.5 :)

[Dripfed]

This song reminds me of the youth I have now lost :-(

One day, you too will be old...You too be freezer drawered. F**k it, I'm going to empty a couple of tinnys before bed.

[rimasdelpueblo]

[valerylmatov]

[kevyg74]

love it, saw pulp at homelands years ago,they were shit hot

[saiftg]

Back when Sadie Frost still had a somewhat promising future

[dancetotheradio1]

@biggurs you say British, so you are claiming everrryyone who lives in Scotland, Ireland (north), Wales and England are all the same? such a smart and well thought out comment....

[biggurs]

british girls are slappers, speak with local accents, have their hair pulled up tightly in a bun, wear hoop earings, wear fake designer labels, have kids when they're 13 and claim welfare.

STAY AWAY

[MaggieACharva]

@biggurs I see you've been in London too long eh! :O Stereotyping a small portion of UK society well done & what's wrong with talking with an English regional accent then?

[rollyunicorn]

Americans all have an IQ under 60 don't they? I'm sure i heard that on Fox News so i guess it must be true!

[skippy153]

COACHELLA!!!!!

[AndromacaTroyana]

@skippy153 yeeeeeh!!!!!

[fullygrownshambles]

"You are amazed that they exist, and they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder why". On the money! Jarvis is a one off.

[KevServo]

The 10th Doctor dabbles in hipster culture.

[labelcillo]

laugh and drink and SCREW you dim-witted censorers

[Luanav1988]

Franz Ferdinand boys's older brothers.

[steveo114]

yay stick it to the middle and upper classes......................w­ait why are people not writing about pulp

[spametta]

I feel like good music is gone forever. How can you compare the mass produced crap today to the songs we grew up with?

[zeansor]

@spametta I'm sure our dad's where saying the same thing we are now hahaha, just the way culture goes.

[MrShezz011]

yeahhhhhhhhh

[MarlynHM]

The last good era for music...period. Ok, maybe I'm being too hard. I'd say compared to now, MOST tunes were great back then. =)

[losbadborns]

come on



[gartland1989]

Classic song!

[EmmaDivaOfficial]

The last good era in British music for me

[fxbolbo]

omg love her voice

[yellowlila]

I just love it... great manifestation... Sing along with the common people... Ordinary people like u!

[BiggestDreamer88]

oasis is better

[jessxxy]

Jarvis Cocker in person is a bit of a bellend, like the music though ;}

[Deskzor]

Sziget 2011, thumb up if u were there!

[toxicslimer]

0:18 ILLUMINATI...

[MaggieACharva]

To dumb yanks commenting on people teeth in a music video, why would us Brits want fake veneers aka false teeth instead of natural teeth eh? Still everything in America is fake though i forgot fake boobs,fake teeth & fake sincerity too! Whilst we here say Good morning yanks sat have a nice day which is so sugary & fake eh. Now onto the music Jarvis Cocker best yrs were the early 90s but now he thinks he is an MP speaking for us commoners as he said too.

[jonathanhudson711]

@MaggieACharva it's called a dentist and good personal hygiene. look into it.

[MaggieACharva]

@jonathanhudson711 And you are a retard you dumb yank! Oral Hygiene is 1 thing which most Brits have but to get rid of healthy for fake veneers which can actually damage your other teeth is stupid. It is called vanity look up that word in the dictionary sometime OK. Most yanks weren't born with perfect teeth so use veneers make out that they were. And i blame the celebrity culture for it cos i still find it funny when i watch modern epics like say Gladiator & all their teeth are perfect too!

[jonathanhudson711]

@MaggieACharva You call me a retard, yet you can hardly form a complete, coherent sentence. Great job! Your ignorant view of America is solely derived from what you see on the "telle", which constitutes only a small percentage of the population. Im disappointed that a fan of Pulp is such a close minded nitwit.

[Yoyoajyoyo]

@MaggieACharva

My teeth are nice and straight and I was born that way. There are plenty of Americans I see everyday with crooked teeth. You have no idea what you are talking about. Stop spewing stereotypes around. You are no better than the people you are arguing with

[Yoyoajyoyo]

@MaggieACharva

One immature person on youtube making a comment does not represent the entire American public. Sounds like you just don't like Americans. Don't be so ignorant.

[MaggieACharva]

@Yoyoajyoyo Don't hate Americans except for the 1s that comment about people teeth on youtube videos instead of just commenting on what they hear though! And it is the US that is xenophobic too. Good for you so are my teeth healthy too & apart from having a bit of trouble with my wisdom teeth which are growing in str8 not twisted they are fine. Only my aren't glow in the dark white though! :)

[akissfornadia]

It's called braces, not fake teeth. Because crooked teeth aren't that nice to look at.

[RyogaXvX]

@MaggieACharva

Ill take a british bird over an american any day <3

[xKleZx]

William Shatner's version, no offense ... but is two times better ...

These are just hipsters playing "music" while high.

The lyrics are cool though.

[xROBERTxDAVISx]

@xKleZx obviously you didnt live back then and realise a hipster is someone trying to be like what these guys were like. they werent hipsters back then.

[Citizenohshit]

I'd sell my soul to be that sexy.

Wait, that didn't work out to well for Dudley Moore did it?

[bagzie]

This song should be re-recorded as 'Chavy People'

[jonti1000]

U LIKE HIM - LISTEN TO jOHN HUTCHINSON - FALLEN ANGELS- THEY CAME FROM SAME VILLAGE COMMONERS ;LOL

[HellYeahLauren]

I bloody love Jarvis Cocker. I met him the other month and he had a lovely, soft, sweaty hand.

[boomboomcutler]

Top Song

[FourTrees786]

he really reminds me of david tennant

[thejammiedodger07]

I remembered when this came out. I was decorating my house, dancing on the top of a step dancing while painting the ceiling :D

[clownstangler]

184 reasons to use a condom

[Attacked]

Shoulda been #1

[tommy8ball]

Thumb up if you have a small dick!

[zarazatyify]

OMG, ooowaah, how sexxxy! Yeah, the guy as well. Greeks and Brits sleeping together will fix the GFC! Go for it, free love, free sexy foreign relations will connect more than any bullshit diplomacy!

[jessxxy]

@zarazatyify Hahahaha that was hysterical ;}

[thanosleeds]

@zarazatyify I am Greek so I really appreciate this comment :D

[rhysoshot]

182 people are not common people

[frenchy16785]

This video does nothing for the assumption that all us Brits have terrible teeth....Get them sorted out for god sake...lol

[Tuzotonic]

@frenchy16785

I always said I wanted to be a dentist and move to Britain. I would make a fortune.

[KidMalone]

@Tuzotonic

Fuck you, faggot.

[MaggieACharva]

@Tuzotonic NHS dentists are free here though,so goodluck in making money in the UK pet!

[sugarandspice4815]

Pitchfork called this the second best song of the 90s, behind "Gold Soundz" by Pavement. I think this should have been #1.

[lovewithanapparition]

This is coming from someone who really, really likes Pulp, by the way.

[lovewithanapparition]

Ever notice how William Shatner obliterated this version somehow?

Unlike the original he actually sounds like a furious working-class guy raging against his idiotic girlfriend. This one sounds like they're pretending at being working class even though I'm pretty sure that Jarvis Crocker was in the same economic situation as The Shat

[sugarandspice4815]

@lovewithanapparition You just took that from Cracked, didn't you?

And while Crocker may have made some money with his career before he wrote this song (he encountered the woman he's talking about in the song - a real person - while at art school), he grew up a "common person." He knows what it's like.

[lovewithanapparition]

@sugarandspice4815 yeah but William Shatner knew the same sort of people and he does a better job of it.

(Also I only just read the Cracked article about this.)

[OOOasis93]

@lovewithanapparition He's called Cocker, not Crocker

[Freudianity]

This version says "You can try, but you're just a silly little rich girl and we're laughing at you behind your back". The Shatner version says "You think you're playing a fucking game? This is real fucking life, we didn't choose this way because it's TRENDY, go fuck yourself."

On the whole I think I prefer Shatner's message.

[TheVouzo]

Attention!

Wanted the Greek girl, with the loaded dad, to lend me some euros, quid or even drachmas,to pay taxes.

@jellybink1 Well the first time William Shatner brought me here. But, several months later, and Pulp having become my favorite band, my love of Pulp brought me here (: It doesn't matter how you discovered it or why you came here...
