  • The background dancers at 3:15 and throughout the video make me think of Sims characters.

  • Comment removed

  • Oasis were not for me.

  • Shatner *totally* did it better.

  • Shatner did it better.

  • amazing.

  • Yes Pere, that's the best version of this song. "Manel" represents the present of catalan song; the secret was not only in the melody... the secret was arround their words. So interesitng if you can't searched nothing about this group.

  • Hindi People (Parody of Common People), check this out it's hilarious... XD

    watch?v=LL3H8nzs7T4

  • the scene in supermarket reminds me Radioheads Fake plastic trees

  • You can search a special and unplugged version of this song made for "Manel".

    "Manel" is a catalan group with a version of this song recorded in a market, only with a bass, an ukelele and a xilophone.

    Try it

  • slazem se ;) hvala :D

  • i ja se slazem :)

  • O Džarvise, hvala ti.

  • :D:D:D

  • the girl in the blue top is fine, and jarvis is really cool, on the whole great video for a really great brit pop song

  • The Pulp / whoever controls this video is NUTS to Disable the Embedding on this Video - Some people just like to slowdown their profits!!!

  • magnifique!!!

  • excellent song! Actually the history of the song is real , Jarvis talked about it in an interview... PULP 4ever

  • Amazing!!!!! Love that song!!!

  • Hilarious video.

  • hehe awesome song!

  • Great band! Underated in the states... Way ahead of their time.. Jarvis is a genius...

  • as an American,I totally agree!. In the mid 1990s were were apopleptic over Cobain's passing, yet never moved beyond. What a shame.

  • TOSCOOO D++

  • why cut out the simulated fighting?

  • Shatner's cover of this is infinitely better!

  • Doesn't Jarvis' voice just make you want to take your pants off?

  • not really, no :)

  • Yes.

  • Me too. Definitely.

  • i don't like oldskool stuff like this but for some reason pulp is like very interesting..

    idk how to say it just feel like listening to it

  • Love this song!!

    And adore pulp!!

    Are very cool and Jarvis you´re lovely...

  • had this as a fave years ago..became unavailable and now I need a "non-fighting" version, wtf? thxs youtube.

  • My favorite song. Jarvis = cool as fuck.

  • Well stated!

  • Obviously you are cool as well ;)

  • Its actually a commentary on a trend of the time...the rich thought it would be cool to be working class...Guy Richie and Meg Mathews being prime examples of toffs who adopted fake accents and personas

  • This song makes you feel ok about being an ordinary kid from the suburbs who has limited funds.

  • GREAT song!!!

  • great great song. Does anyone find it ironic that at 258 he does the MJ dance?

  • This is so ahead of it's time.

  • Classic.

  • stick to your talentless mainstream pop rappers.

  • Epic Win reply =]

  • I saw the web ads locating next to the video was michael jackson's. that's fucking hilarious and irony

  • Thanks for posting it, a very good song and brilliant lyrics too.

  • Come on Juiceoncereal you are clueless.

    That version you say sucks big time!!!

    Pulp rules!!!!!!

  • Jarvis Cocker is amazing.

    At the start he doesnt walk he floats.

  • Juiceoncereal ... you do realise you're talking about Jarvis Cocker.. Seems like you really don't follow music as much

  • He is Absolutly Brilli (Jarvis Cocher)ant and I'm glad that I look like him in a way.

    a little bit older now.........?

  • Comment removed

  • This is the greatest song ever written , no arguement.

  • I love him <3

  • Jarvis Cocher is one of the coolest man in the world !

  • he's so sexy!this is one of the best songs ever!love it!!

  • Holly smokes, I used to play this song so loud and dance and stomp through the house, neighbors complained lol..

  • soooo---funky

  • One word and that is.....Chopper

  • Does anyone know of similar tunes? Catchy and poppy, but also cool.

  • Park Life, by Blur! Its a classic!

  • Parklife is awesome too

  • This video's colors remind me of Speed Racer and Pearl Harbor.

  • pas possible, incroyable..

  • Oh! Jarvis Cocker is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sexy!!! yomie!!

  • This song is sexy

  • I just love that song. Since the first time I heard it. Remembers me the evenings I spent with my brother having fun

  • I love Jarvis's sunglasses. xD

  • is that woman sadie frost?

  • LOVE IT :D

  • After 23 years of listening to music, i have come to the conclusion that this is the greatest song of all time. Sorry.

  • tha's so good.. just dance, drink and screw cause there's nothing else to do!!

  • Dance and drink and screw- that's what common people do.

  • great song about class tourism

  • i've been singing this ALL day!

  • What a great song! Just great...

  • the first time i heard this song was on the jackass 24/7 thing last year on mtv =D

  • she just smiled and held my hand!!!! =) what a line!! ha!

  • Does anyone think this sounds like Spaceman by the Killers?

  • good??? who knows i guess its a state of mind being common.

  • thanks shabanu, i saw this a long time ago, and loved seeing it tonight.

  • Is that Sadie frost??? lucky girl.

  • Hey, didn't realize until right now that David Tennant was the lead singer in Pulp...

  • lol

  • You know... I just thought the same. I don't really get why people rate your comment down because of that.

  • No sense of humor?

  • You know i thought the EXACT same thing, least it isn't just me thinking that

  • That broad's teeth are so gross

  • imperfection is perfection dude

  • I love sadie's teeth...leave her alone

  • everyone loves the shatner version because its all shouty and rocky but tbh shatner isnt really a common person, when jarvis sings the song it means a bit more imo, and the way he delivers some of the lyrics especially with the whispers he sounds quite angry about the whole thing, i think the pulp version puts the message across much better, just my opinion.

  • i've just cracked one off over the girl in blue lol

  • best song ever

  • i liked this video :)

    CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TALK TO ME LW

  • Sheffield = my hometown (:

  • GREAT MOVES!

  • Jarvis brings some pretty cool and unique rock n roll moves. Like a lanky Mick jagger but even cooler!!

  • This reminds of a polish girl I met at Glasgow university union bar. She works as a line manager in a salmon processing factory now. Very pretty but neurotic, like a menatally ill parrot. Unfortuately I didnt want to live like a Polish gypsy so we split up.

  • NEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKK !

  • Wow, you limies be crazy!

  • the guy in the video nicking the tv i swear its my friend sambo from shildon he gets every where and he told me he was santa claws

  • yea great song

  • i love russian artist, they are great! love that song!

  • there frm sheffield mate not fuckin kilavache in st peters BURGER AND THERES names arent vicktor slobadon

    there yorkshire men not slobadons!!

  • tuneage

  • I love this song :)

  • Absolutely brilliant.

  • This was a really beauitful song

  • RWDtech you don't know music...

    I'm a hardcore garage head!

    Nuff said!!!

    Ace song :D

  • shockalocka....hardcore garage head......poor thing, I think there may be a surgical procedure you can have to fix that and give you a normal flesh and blood cranium!!!

  • She's pretty, but has horrible teeth. Good song like.

  • obviously English

  • *rolls eyes*

  • This reminds me of the Sims...

  • I prefer the Streetdogs song of the same title.

  • why are you listening to it then..

  • first of all, there is really no reason to repeat yourself. everyone understands that it makes you want to gag and that you find it "horrible" and "BORING", as you so crudely put it. second of all, have you nothing better to do than sit around and comment nasty things on videos that don't meet your impossibly high standards? if i wasn't such an insomniac, i wouldn't even bother responding to you. i like this song and i enjoy listening to it. i do not find it "horrible", "boring" or "gag"-worthy.

  • well put.

  • eat shit prick

  • not to jarvis but to the prick who was talkin shit

  • Let's just all relax. Thank you RWDtech, I appreciate telling me that it was well put.

    And Baffers21, please calm down.

    :]

    Still like the song.

    :P

  • I said, "I'll see what I can do..."

  • There's a fighting version?!

  • im off to a 90's night tonight....they had better play this!!

  • 90's ftw! much better music was made in the 90's than the 00's imo

  • common people like me ha ha ha

  • your crazzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!

  • "But she didn't understand" - One of the greatest songs of our time, this will stand the test of time.

  • "Oh I'll see what I can do"!!! fantasic funny lyrics but socially smart too. Great song. Timeless.

  • i just up and down

  • One of the best songs ever.

  • My fave song of the moment! xox

  • Yes it does. I don't care what people say, I love the Shatner remix.

  • Shatner is crap at singing, but his song covers work. Thats why they are great.

  • is that sadie frost?

  • Yeah it is, well spotted!

  • common people rock we are the pride of britain

  • Watch Foodface Killa!

  • this is alright lol

  • I'd have loved to see them live during their mid 90's pomp.That Glastonbury gig is great to watch online 13 years after it happened,must have been 100 times better there live.

  • I saw them at the Leed festival! 1995 - awesome!!

  • I would have been two then. Yet still would love to have been there :)

  • according to his lyrics us common people

    "we dance! we drink! we screw!" Rofl =D

  • buenisimo me gusta mucho esta cancion

  • Thank God he had 'er' at the end of his name. Classic song and album ^_^

  • Yeah, because Pulp's the voice of the wprking class!

  • love it!

  • classic

  • lol oh yeah, the backgrounds are repeated all the way through lol. then they some reverse half way through lol :P

  • Jarvis=Lord of the dance

    :p

  • if he kept it up...he could be the next David Bowie. But too bad he vanished in to nothing..sigh

  • which is why he released an album 2 years ago and the next one is coming out next week I believe? Do a search on just Jarvis Cocker and you're sure to find "running the world", "don't let him waste your time", "angela" and more. His new album is called Further Complications.

  • what's this non fighting version? is there another version of this video?

  • you would!.

  • When Shatner sings he makes the song his. He's Shatastic.

  • honesly. PULP for the win.

  • I didn't say his was better. I should have just said he made the song his own. He is still shatastic.

  • ohhh coolcool then i do like that version though.. its my myspace pro song lmao (shats one)

  • The best song of the 90's!!!

  • i never realized, but around 2 minutes when the song starts building up, all the dance moves and movements in the background are just reversed and forwarded, haaa

  • The Lord of Perfect Gestures & Intonations

  • cool video.

    cool song.

    odd voice.

    but i like it.

  • I love Pulp, love Jarvis.

  • Working class hero part 2, aint it?!

  • love this song

    the girl has yellow teeth thou!

  • Well, she is British...

  • meaning, british slags don't smear their teeth with enough spunk.

  • Silly little Yank.

  • You can call me fat if it makes you feel better.

  • you're a bellend
