WTF, The All Seeing I wasn't Jarvis Cocker's band, he just cameo'd on one of their album tracks. The All Seeing I was Jason Buckle's project (Jarvis's mate admittedly)
@menyc i thought he was straight, but with his theatrics and that accent he had me questioning it. its a common joke in america that every englishmen sound as if there gay.
@ThePillarOfAutumn1 No, no it isn't. It misses the whole point of the song. The in it's entirety is a classic reflection on rich kids slumming it, because back then being working class was seen to be 'cool' by a lot of middle and upper class young people. Where as the reality of being working class is a lot grimmer when you can't escape it.
I would have never thought it was possible for William Shatner to improve a song he was covering. I mean come on. He's William effin' Shatner. He sucks as a musician! After listening to this turd, I stand corrected.
crymz1, you must have come to that conclusion from the hard-on that you had after the video ended - most people just like the song and don't obsess over the sexual preferences of the performers ...
does anyone know the real story behind this song ? "aparantley" its about a girl that wants to be part of the old school indi scene which is usually a lack of money but she was a rich grrl and in order to get her street cred in the indi scene she rented the worst possible flat in the worst possible area of london and got murdered by someone that thought there was a drug deal going down in that flat i wanna sleep with common people like thesome of us are you sure ?
uh its pretty obvious i would have thought, its not about a specific story as far as i know, just that generation of rich kids who think being poor is cool. the girl in the song will never understand the frustration and futility of being poor because no matter what she does she can always call her dad and end it all, whereas being poor is to have no way out. she's being stupid and rude and is an obvious tourist but will never understand why their lives shine so brightly compared to hers.
@davidmalynch no, its not based on an event like that, it more refers to that whole class of people. Although the girl mentioned is based on one that cocker did meet at st martins college, who expressed interest in living like 'the common people'.
I thought about that time, what with Different Class being released in '95 but I wasn't sure because of the captions shown throughout the performance and with Pulp not actually having broken up I thought it might have been more recent :) Thank-you.
Yeah lol, I guessed. Just wishful thinking that it was more recent really, I'm dying for them to come off hiatus. Thank-you for the info though, oh and obviously thanks for posting the video :)
I wish I heard this version first. I can't get Shatner out of my head.

The captions are later because this was from a repeat broadcast as part of a Britpop night on BBC4 a few years ago.
