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.
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
William Shatner's version is so much better. I find it annoying that the original doesn't sound more like his version. Plus the singer of this band looks like a total DB.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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

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.
