Pulp - Bad Cover Version 

Still the most brilliant music video that’s ever existed or ever will be. Jarvis Cocker as Brian May at the end is too perfect for this world.

Robbie Williams 0:24 Liam Gallagher 0:32 Phil Collins 0:41 Kylie Minogue 0:43 David Bowie 0:53 Noel Gallagher 1:00 Missy Elliott 1:10 George Michael 1:12 Bono 1:26 Paul McCartney 1:36 Craig David 1:49 Tom Jones 1:59 Keith Richards 2:04 Bjork 2:10 Kurt Cobain 2:21 Rod Stewart 2:25 Meat Loaf 2:31 Cher 2:36 Jay Kay 2:50 Jarvis Cocker 2:55 Mick Jagger 3:00 Jennifer Lopez 3:12 Elton John 3:19 Sophie Ellis-Bextor 3:36 Gary Numan 3:46 Brian May 3:50

Maybe its the "bad" cover version but undoubtedly and probably the most original idea for a video EVER!

Shit like this is why Pulp is the greatest band ever.

(0:21 - Jeff Lynne) (0:24 - Robbie Williams) (0:33 - Liam Gallagher) (0:42 - Kylie Minogue) (0:54 - David Bowie) (1:00 - Noel Gallagher) (1:10 - Missy Elliot) (1:13 - George Michael) (1:26 - Bono) (1:33 Sophie Ellis Bextor, Jennifer Lopez) (1:37 - Paul McCartney) (1:47 - Craig David) (2:00 - Tom Jones) (2:05 - Bruce Springsteen) (2:11 - Bjork) (2:21 - Kurt Cobain) (2:26 - Rod Stewart) (2:31 - Meatloaf) (2:36 - Cher) (2:49 - Phil Collins) (2:51 Jay Kay, Jarvis Cocker, Mick Jagger) (3:20 - Elton John) (3:40 - Missy Elliot) (3:47 - Gary Numan) (3:51 - Brian May)

1:43 don't forget to show your love for Candida

This should have been a massive hit , fantastic music and lyrics.

How have I never seen this before? That was the best 4 minutes I never knew I'd missed.

Rest in power Steve Mackey.

"Like the Stones since the eighties" y el Bowie se rasca la nariz jajajajajaj excelente

The "autotune do you believe in love after love" in Cher's voice - hahahahah

I can t stop watching it either, the girl who plays as Killy, the one with the blond braid has an incredible pretty voice, and Paul, Elton and Mick Jagger are just like the originals. Brilliant Tom Jones too, omg!

I love how even the Marshall amps at the end are impostors (they say "Warhol")!

The second side of 'Til Band Comes In' RIP Scott Walker :'(

I remember the first time I saw this I didn't know they were lookalikes. I just sat there with my jaw open thinking "How in the hell did they pull this off?" Then it got to Kurt Cobain. And I was like. "Wait."

The Rod Stewart and Cher look-a-likes are amazing. I can watch this over and over.

The guy who played Macca got the mannerisms down to a tee.

The Macca key change nod is sheer genius.

Cher, Tom Jones and Björk are my faves🥰😍🥰

One of the best and funniest music videos ever

this is brilliant, I can't stop watching it.. my god! the Paul, Jarvis and Mick Jagger are just like the real ones, clones. And congrats to the Bowie voice

my unorganized music playlist secretly doing a collaboration

Brilliant cher lookalike doing the electronic voice sound effect.

THE ONE YUNOLONGAHHHH OWNNNNNN! I crack up almost every time at that part and I must have heard this like 100 times now.

I remember when MTV play this videoclip in 2002, i was immediately hooked . Great song and one of the most hilarious videos iv'e ever seen.

Sabath bloody Sabath!! That riff in the middle is the father of all drop D songs

Pulp fiction

I take some degree of amused pride in being able to name every artist being "covered" in this video as they appear... and some of these are British artists from the late 90s who have since gone obscure lol. I guess all the readings of Q magazine in Borders back then helped. Final notes... "Kurt" was a bit too much of a buffonish mockery than a loving tribute here... love the serious Gary Numan spoof though good for a chuckle

Jarvis as Brian May!! 🥰

I always laugh hard when Tom Jones begins to sing, so funny! Best diss track ever!

i love how bitter the lyrics are

some of them are IDENTICAL to the real ones

I think about this video so often.

The word's on the street You've found someone new If he looks nothing like me I'm so happy for you I heard an old girlfriend Has turned to the church She's trying to replace me But it'll never work 'Cause every touch reminds you of Just how sweet it could have been And every time he kisses you It leaves behind the bitter taste of saccharine A bad cover version of love Is not the real thing Bikini-clad girl on the front Who invited you in? Such great disappointment When you got him home The original was so good The one you no longer own And every touch reminds you of Just how sweet it could have been And every time he kisses you You get the taste of saccharine It's not easy to forget me It's so hard to disconnect When it's electronically reprocessed To give a more life-like effect Ah, sing your song About all the sad imitations That got it so wrong It's like a later "Tom & Jerry" When the two of them could talk Like the Stones since the Eighties Like the last days of Southfork Like "Planet of the Apes" on TV The second side of "'Til the Band Comes In" Like an own-brand box of cornflakes He's going to let you down my friend

The amount of time I watched for before realising these are lookalikes was embarrassingly long ..

Haven't watched this in a few years. Brought an even greater smile to my face than back then...it's obviously aging well! Not to mention my face, it's aging pretty well also.

I'm pleasantly surprised a record company would bankroll a video like this! Great song

The best one is Elton John, I can't believe that's not him!!!

2017 and this is still my favorite music video of all time.

I love this video, never fails to cheer me up! Those guys are so spot on it took me some time to get through my head that they were imitators.

Best. Video. Ever. That is all.

Still better than band aid 30!

Brilliant idea. Unasked score for look-alike/sing-alike: Robbie Williams 0:24 8/7 Liam Gallagher 0:32 5/6 Phil Collins 0:41 2/none Kylie Minogue 0:43 7/7 David Bowie 0:53 7/8 Noel Gallagher 1:00 3/none Missy Elliott 1:10 9/none George Michael 1:12 7/7 Bono 1:26 2/3 Paul McCartney 1:36 8/9 Craig David 1:49 9/7 Tom Jones 1:59 8/7 Keith Richards 2:04 6/none Bjork 2:10 10/9 Kurt Cobain 2:21 6/5 Rod Stewart 2:25 9/9 Meat Loaf 2:31 8/7 Cher 2:36 7/8 Jay Kay 2:50 10/9 Jarvis Cocker 2:55 7/10 (real voice) Mick Jagger 3:00 7/10 Jennifer Lopez 3:12 5/none Elton John 3:19 8/none Sophie Ellis-Bextor 3:36 6/none Gary Numan 3:46 7/none Brian May 3:50 3/none

poesia pura y directa... brillante...y el video es una oda a la ironía ..siguen pasando los años.. y se escucha tan fresco como la primera vez... nunca pasara de moda...

That Liam Ghallager actually sounds like Noel

I saw this years ago. I’ve been trying to find it ever since. Finally did!!

My heart kinda stopped when I realized that that Brian May was Jarvis.

i think this is my favorite videoclip ever.

this video is pure genius !!

This has got to be one of the coolest music videos I have ever seen, It is not only a super awesome idea (that I only realized halfway through) but it also featured references to some of my favorite musicians of all time.

The Great Cover Version.

underrated video, underrated song, underrated band and underrated composer.

I love Meatloaf's mannerisms. The Robbie Williams is good too. Brilliant video!!

Je ne m'en Lasse pas. Ça me rappelle mes jeunes années en Angleterre. Heureusement que nous avons les anglais et Pulp avec Jarvis en Brian May à la fin. God bless the Queen and now a king...

Cher killed it!

Why have I never seen or heard this?

I like the fact the Jarvis impersonator is the only one miming with the real Jarvis providing the vocal for that line.

All proceeds go to supporting your local wedding cover bands.

Perfect. Paul is amazing! Really, this video gets it all right.

Interestingly the late Scott Walker produced this even knowing that they mocked his own album 'Til the band comes in'.

one day this video will be swamped by the outside world, but for now we happy few will enjoy it while we can.

Haha that Bowie straight out of Stella Street

my God , that is like the best list of singers ever assembled !! wow lol

Is the Jarvis impressionist's line actually delivered by Jarvis himself? It's uncanny.

I can watch IT over and over again!!!! Timeless classic!!!!

I think this video is the epilogue to Rock. The farewell of a golden era of talent and stupidity. Now we are in an era of stupidity.

Too many comments about the video. Too litlle comments about the song. This song deserves so so much more

Genial!!! Excelente canción... Dudo que exista algo similar, haber reunido a todos ellos, inigualable.. una pena que algunos ya no estén con nosotros!

I love this song. Pulp are really brilliant.

That has got to be one of the best videos ever! Its just brilliant! I especially love the Cher bit where she sings 'electronically processed' with the vocoder effect! Its just genius to think of having Cher sing that line! Plus Craig David 'what great disappointment'! lol that is so true! Though more like 'what a great tosser' lol

the perfect cover version!!

alright now let's all sing imagine

Björk is hilarious

Like the fact the imitators can actually sing lol.

One of the most underrated and brilliant concept videos ever,just brilliant 👏👏👌👌👌

So many good music jokes in this video! Vocoder Cher always earns a huge LMFAO Gary Numan of all people silently tapping a "xylophone" or whatever is another big one!

This version should be on Spotify?

Liam looks like Richard Ashcroft

the real Jarvis Cocker is the Brian May lookalike at the end.

My favourites of this video: Kylie Minogue, George Michael, Bono, Sir Paul McCartney, Tom Jones, Björk, Rod Stewart, Mick Jagger and Jarvis Cooker as Brian May.

keith and mick lookalike goes "THE STONES WERE BRILLIANT IN THE 80'S!"

Does Nobody saw the Bee Gees at the end? Standing next to Bowie.

Holy fucking cow, Macca guy is the spitting image of him!

Best guitar solo EVER

Man!! I almost believed these guys!!!

i love this so much. the Bowie guy looks more like Shane MacGowan, mind

Damn, that Kylie is spot-on.

This is legendary

I’m pretty sure that Jarvis cocker is the one from stars in your eyes who then actually did appear with pulp on this is hardcore tour (the gig started with fake jarv singing to The Fear & then real jarv would enter and both sing together)

Viva PULP! Genius.

at the second 00:59 Scott Walker as producer 🧢💎

Genius! Excellent parody of something ripe for pisstaking. I absolutely loathed that Perfect Day cover and those Live Aid tracks. Although to be fair Kurt would never have been involved in anything like that.

The best part about the brian may is that he only plays one simple note.

Pulp just an incredibly brilliant group.

The Cher with the short auto-tune was great!

If only the real versions of these people were all still alive, also is that a Gary Numan imitation playing the bells at the end?

The meatloaf parody at 2:32 was absolutely spot on

0:24 Robbie Williams 0:32 Liam Gallagher 0:55 ??? 1:00 Noel Gallagher 1:13 George Michael 1:29??? 1:37 Paul Mccartney 1:50 ??? 2:05 Keith Richards 2:11 Bjork 2:15 David Bowie 2:21 Kurt Cobain 2:26 Rod Stewart 2:31 Meat Loaf 2:36 Cher 2:51 Fuck, no idea!! 2:56 Jarvis Cocker 3:01 Mick Jagger 3:20 Elton John 3:51 Brian May, hahaha

The Tom Jones is fantastic🤩🤩🤩🤩

It looks like Mick Jagger just made his way amongs the other lookalikes and everyone else was fine with it. It must be him!
