There's a thing called "slumming it" where wealthy people play at being poor, hanging out with poor people, sleeping with them, etc. The girl in the song is doing that and the singer is calling her out on it, saying that it doesn't matter how much she thinks she's being 'real', it's still a game to her and she can stop whenever she wants but the poor people are stuck with it.

@ajs41 Год назад

There's a verse and bridge missing from this video version but included in the album track, and they really drive home the song's message: "Like a dog lying in a corner They will bite you and never warn you - Look out! they'll tear your insides out 'Cause everybody hates a tourist Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh Yeah, and the chip stains and grease Will come out in the bath You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You're amazed that they exist And they burn so bright While you can only wonder why..." Class divide, in short. This is Pulp's biggest hit but I personally like "Disco 2000" more, including its similarly quirky video.

This was during the era when higher education was still free in the UK (well around the time when free education actually ended anyway), and St Martins is a very prestigious art college full of rich kids, and quite a few common people like myself too, I was studying at art college myself at the time, and this song is a playful look at some richer student's fascination with the more common students, I dated several girls in college who were from quite wealthy families, being a council estate kid certainly made you a curiosity, things have changed somewhat now, but the song is very much of its time.

@philvallee645 Год назад

It's too bad you guys didn't listen to the album version as it contains a whole extra set of verses which complete the song. As someone else pointed out, this song references the the class system in Britain, which still exists to this day. Jarvis Cocker told the story about how this is based on someone he actually met while attending St Martins College in London as an art student. The girl's father is rich "she told me that her dad was loaded" and coming from this very privileged background is curious how the other half.. actually 99% live. She's slumming for the fun of it and is so clueless that doesn't even realize she insults him by claiming she wants to sleep with common people like you.. The anger in this track builds as he point out that however much she might want to play at being less privileged or poor, she will never understand since while she watches "roaches climb the wall"she can call her dad who can stop it all. In the part you didn't hear, he calls her out and warns her that if you think poor is cool, "like a dog lying in a corner, they'll bite you and never warn you - look out they'll tear your insides out 'cause everybody hates a tourist". Classic song with a good dose of social commentary.

@parissimons6385 Год назад

Great song! Pulp is a band from the formerly industrial heartland (South Yorkshire) city of Sheffield. A local hero of sorts, singer/lyricist Jarvis Cocker's voice was heard in the Sheffield streetcars announcing stations. (He is also the singer in the Christmas Ball scene during the movie, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, along with members of Radiohead, etc.) And I find the William Shatner, Joe Jackson, Ben Folds version of "Common People" hilarious, too. About the story in the song, lots of kids - male and female - from well-heeled families may go through a period where they rebel and want adventures, and sometimes those adventures mean going "slumming", hanging out at working-class bars, seedy clubs, etc. Seeking a taste of forbidden fruit... Most of those kids end up returning to their more comfortable and familiar surroundings after some adventures, after their time as "class tourists". ("'Cause everybody hates a tourist...") The song is written and sung from the perspective of bemused fury of one of those (common) people who may be the objects of this "slumming" behaviour by those rich kids. And despite the description of the young woman coming from a rich family in Greece, keep in mind that the UK has had distinct social class issues (looking both downward and upward) for centuries. "Laugh along with the common people Laugh along even though they're really laughing at you And the stupid things that you do Because you think that poor is cool"

If you want to condense British music in the 1990s, especially the so-called BritPop, it essentially came down to Oasis - Wonderwall, Blur - Girls and Boys or Parklife, and Pulp - Common People. Also, I almost always say you shouldn't have the lyrics on for a first-time listen, but for this one, you should have. Brilliant stuff.

@davidsedgley1133 Год назад

I'm really glad you listened to this song, as it's an absolute classic of the Britpop era, and UK pop in general. It's actually quite a deep song but it's hard to unpick without having lived through the 90s in the UK. The album version with the two extra verses is much harder hitting than this shorter radio edit. But the song is essentially an expression of anger and bewilderment at rich people thinking that they know what it is like to be poor. It perfectly encapsulated the mood of the UK in the mid 1990s when there had been many years of social oppression that was about to be torn down, and hence was probably THE defining song of the Britpop era. The band Pulp are from Sheffield, one of the cities in the north of the country that was hardest hit. The strangely non-dark vibe for quite a dark subject probably comes from the northern UK mentality of taking a certain pride in the fact that they struggle through hardship. See the 'Four Yorkshiremen' sketch for an example of what I mean!

The song is about a rich girl who thinks it's cool and trendy to check out how "common people" live. But he is saying you cannot ever know what it's like, because at any time she can "Call her Dad and stop it all." Go to a supermarket and pretend you can't afford what you want, she laughs at the idea - and he's like, "take a look around, no one is laughing." And sorry, not even close to "Goth" - this is pure BritPop.

@lonbecker113 Год назад

Pulp was, IMO, the best of the Britpop bands, like Blur and Oasis. that made a point of pulling their influence from earlier British bands rather than the dominant American grunge bands that were popular at the time. Pulp's big influence was the Kinks, particularly lyrically. The Kinks were big on songs which said as much about the narrator as about what the narrator is talking about. And that is something that Jarvis Cocker picked up on, including on some purposely petty songs about ex-girlfriends. So Pulp songs often have a surface level and a deeper level meaning. The surface level meaning is about a rich girl who thinks it would be cool at playing at being poor, and a poor boy who helps her until he gets fed up with the idea that being poor can be hip and tells her off. The deeper part is the part that Brad picks up on, namely the sexual aspect. The singer's willing to go along with this is likely because of the allure of sex with a rich girl, and the loss of patience likely follows from his having had sex with the rich girl and no longer having to put up with her behavior. A commentator to a reaction video like this said that Cocker claimed that this song was inspired by a real incident, except that the girl had no interest in sex with him, and when Cocker realized that he lost interest in the girl, and so things went no further than her expressing her interest to live like common people. I also suspect that the "rum and coca cola" line is a call back to the Kinks Lola in which the singer drinks coca cola with a similar lyrical effect. Pulp narrators often seem to be Kinks narrators empowered by technology to be somewhat more forward.

Loved this and Disco 2000. Those songs kept people watching the BBC a year longer ;)

HahA, the edited version. Dance and drink and screw is the full line. Haha, jeez. Such a great tune. A real bookend for Lennon's tune on the lives of us less rich ordinary folks, Working Class Hero

@gigteevee6118 Год назад

Upbeat Goth music....😂 Brilliant observation! Pulp started back in the early 80's and only came to fame in the 90's in the UK, some of those early tracks are very The Smith's.

This is such a classic song and hits true on so many levels. The girl is not literally saying that she wants to 'sleep with common people' it's just that her actions are so obvious that she might as well be. It's the story of a rich privileged girl hanging out with the working class crowd to gain some cred and he's calling her out on it saying that she can play pretend all she likes but she'll never know the authentic experience/struggles of the working class. The term 'common' is like a slur amongst the British aristocracy.

HUGE FAN of Pulp. Loved this when I was a student. It's all about posh people "slumming it" in northern Universities. It's funny to me also, as I had a housemate who was super rich and had a BOX OF WINE delivered to him every month (1990s guys) I think the posho kids still do this a lot

Jarvis is a freaking legend. A weird, straightforward, brilliant legend and he writes amazing lyrics. I'm not British but I know about the class system in Britain. And this song is one of my all-time favourites ever. This band is better than Oasis in my opinion. Clever lyrics with memorable melodies, telling stories about difficulties regarding life and love.

Good choice. I loved Pulp. Disco 2000 was my favourite song by them.

@felixthecat02 Год назад

Amazing, an anthem for my 18 year old self! Saw Pulp live in Manchester in '96 and this blew the top off the Manchester Arena. The lyrics meant so much to me back then, a certain mocking bitterness aimed at the entitled. Glad everything has changed in 2022....

You're diving into the Brit Pop movement with Pulp, Oasis and Supergrass. You need some Blur or Suede.

@benabel7326 Год назад

They did Girls and Boys in the watchalong when these were all recorded.

@TheFairyintheFishBowl Год назад

Suede - yes please! I sending that request! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@tileux Год назад

Heres one you’ll like: Hold Me Now, by the Thompson Twins. An early 90s masterpiece and a big hit at the time. Pulp comes from a kind of genre, like Supergrass (ie Caught by the Fuzz) and the Killers (mr Brightside).

@1997MCW Год назад

The best version of this song is when they did it live at glastonbury in 1995 when it had only been released weeks before and the crowd is wild for it

@juliegreen5226 Год назад

This is such a fun clever song that should not be taken too literally. The lyrics are an ironic social commentary about the class divide in the UK. A great party anthem with a banging tune. Loved hearing it again ❤

@Jabberwok28 Год назад

This was Sleaford Mods before Sleaford Mods. Cocker has always had his thumb in the eye of convention (like his dancing during a Michael Jackson performance/award presentation - look for the video). I sometimes wonder if there wasn’t a veiled shot at some of his contemporaries *cough, Blur, cough* who were a bit Posh but tried to play down their affluence. Also, if you look for it on the RU-vids, there is a really cool series of videos about the song and its making and it turns out that the girl in the song IS real, and she is rich and Greek. Check it out.

Pulp were definitely in my top play rotation throughout my teens! 'The Fear' is an awesome song that became an awkward parallel to my own life as I ended up going through periods of extreme anxiety.

@Wishbone1977 Год назад

If you want to explore Pulp a bit more, "Disco 2000" was their other big hit, but for a darker, weirder and generally more interesting journey, I suggest you listen to "I Spy".

@group-music Год назад

I Spy is my favourite song on Different Class album. It's so vindictive.

@fayebarbary4748 Год назад

There were actually a lot of wealthy Greek students studying in universities in the UK in the 90s. I can imagine some the ones I knew behaving like this.

@heliotropezzz333 Год назад

The term 'common people' is used by those from wealthy or aristocratic backgrounds to refer to ordinary people. It is a pejorative term indicating that they look down on those people. At the beginning of the song you are told that she is from a wealthy family in Greece.

@p.a.mlabsrestoring3234 5 месяцев назад

this rich girl mentioned at the front was indeed a real girl from Greece. After some 20 years she was married a professor of economics who was for some months a ninistry of economics in the goverment.
