Also MCR have done Common People a few times, up to you if you think that's any good! And Keane have done Disco 2000 a few times, which is a bit of a miss imho.
I love it when she slams her shoes into the floor.. God I miss the 90s so much it hurts I never knew at the time how much I would miss them or realised how good they were 😢
I totally agree. It was such a magical time. The music, the football, the culture, the hope as we moved to new political ground. I often wish I had had the foresight to realise at the time.
You say you've gotta go home 'Cause he's sitting on his own Again this evening And I know you're gonna let him Bore your pants off again Oh no, it's half-past eight You'll be late You say you've never been sure But it makes good sense for you To live together Still, you've bought a toy That can reach the places He never goes I know it's getting late He's so strange Do you remember the first time? I can't remember a worse time Oh, but you know that we've changed So much since then Oh yeah, we've grown Now I don't care what you're doing No, I don't care if you screw him Just as long as you save a piece for me Oh yeah, ooooh So you've gotta go home Well at least there's someone there That you can turn to And you never have to face up to The night on you're own Jesus, it must be great To be straight Do you remember the first time? I can't remember a worse time Oh, but you know that we've changed So much since then Oh yeah, we've grown No I don't care what you're doing No I don't care if you screw him Just as long as you save a piece for me Oh yeah, ooooh So you've gotta go home You've gotta go home You say you've gotta go home You have gotta go home Do you remember the first time? I can't remember a worse time Oh, but you know that we've changed So much since then Oh yeah, we've grown No I don't care what you're doing No I don't care if you screw him Just as long as you save a piece for me Oh yeah Do you remember the first time? I can't remember a worse time Oh, but you know that we've changed So much since then Oh yeah, we've grown No I don't care what you're doing No I don't care if you screw him Just as long as you save a piece for me Oh yeah, ooooh You've gotta go home
This is by far, the best Pulp song ever. And just when I didn't think I could love it anymore than I do already, along comes Sophie and smashes it! She really does it the justice it so rightly deserves - Awesomeness!!
Love the original and I love this. Works so well sang by a woman to a woman, and her voice is gorgeous. Beautiful pop, everyone here is working so hard and it pays off so much. Love this just as much as the Pulp original.
Wow, she's a really good singer. I only recently discovered her due to SaltBurn; I didn't expect a singer who sings dance music to be able to sing other types of music. I
Welcome to the world of Sophie Ellis-Bextor! Have fun exploring her discography. I live in the US, and have been a fan since I first heard her music while I was stationed overseas 20 years ago. I recently got to meet her in person in NYC, and she was just as kind as she is talented and beautiful. Have fun listening to her music!
Top credit to Sophie & the musicians on this cover version -- they perform their hearts out. Brings home the music & times of my youth. God, do I miss the '90s.
For anyone who's ever been mixed up in the sort of relationship the song deals with, the ironic sarcasm in the performance of the line "don't be late" is superbly done... She gets it. Good job.
Sophie has matured and just becomes better and better and better. More relaxed, confident and very good. Good choice of song and there are more? Come on we need more of this.
Good cover from a female perspective and an altogether more quality sound from the tones of an older sophiexxCab you remember her in the audience with' a pesimist is never disappointed?🤔
She has to push herself to hit the notes in the chorus, and that makes it better. It's great to see a singer taking on a challenge like this in a live setting.
I remember the first time; the first time I heard this song. It wasn't a recording. I was sitting on the grass in Roundhay Park on a warm day and Jarvis Cocker was standing right in front of me singing it.
Jo Whiley made this performance possible with her week of britpop a couple of years ago, i remember hearing it on the radio on the way home from work that evening and it just took me way back to the 90s, and her voice on this track sounded amazing, it gave me good chills all down my spine, i have them good chills again =)
I’ve always loved this song, and seeing Pulp live was a lifetime highlight! But this is great, made all the better by S-EB not trying to mimic Jarvis’s unique vocal style. Go girl!
Love Pulp, Love Sophie. Her kitchen Disco's are must views. This is like listening to a new record. 'Pin Ups' was big for Bowie and Sophie could try this concept. Jarvis will be loving this.
You get solo artists and bands that mess around with classics and and fcuk them up, not this though, Sophie nails it, even takes it to another level. Brilliant.
Wow Sophie! A timeless and personal favourite. I never expected to hear a cover and would never have dreamt of it to be on par, if not better, than the original.
Sophie, hope you read this. I can't begin to tell you how much I love this. Must be your next single. Not something overproduced, this recording is right on it.
I’m absolutely in love I think! Love Sophie Anyway but this is just mesmerising and fantastic in every way! I loved the original Pulp version and was pretty sure that couldn’t be topped but in my view, she has managed to do it !!
I have a massive musical crush as a 45yr old on her. From her floor fillers that got me through nightshifts at Kidlington Sainsbury's when I ran out of money as a student, to her kitchen discos and general DJ coolness. What a tune!
I remember Pulp when they were a little regarded band playing the Casbah in Sheffield. My lass of the time didn’t get them at all. Perhaps if Jarvis (with his hands waving like a plasterer when singing) had been blessed with such a stunning tone as Sophie, she would have understood.
