I keep watching this Pulp - Common People performance at Glasto and keep walking away after enjoying and feeling totally stunned by it. 70,000 people all bouncing.
Stuninng. Never seen anyone have that mass reaction at Glasto.
Guess a bit up for us common people.
Which is in my all time top five songs so if anyone wants to argue about the merits of Pulp/Jarvis/The Song or Sheffield, I'd welcome your comments.
Just like you.

Saw 'em at Glastonbury in 98, last band on the main stage on the sunday - therefore my lasting memory of them (and I love Different Class) is trudging away from a swamp, through a swamp, to 'drive' out of a swamp, back to...Leeds.
I seem to have left an important part of my brain in that swamp. Oops.

Common People in your top five songs eh?
dunno if i could even go so far as to put Pulp in my festive top fifty...and if i did it wouldn't be Common People
there is a song about woodchip on the walls that stirs feelings of the 70's...but i can't bring myself to type it

Wise move. Thank Christ we never all grew up in the year 2000. I do have a soft spot for Deborah though. *sighs longingly*

I prefer the William Shatner version myself.
As for Pulp's version, I preferred the dance mix (or whatever it was called) to the original.

oh yes
William Shatner gave it class...the only down side was Joe Jackson's wailing

Everytime I see this topic's title I have to think of some terrible song you might vaguely remember, as me...
Something with 'Living in the love of the common people' or so?

Paul Young, and aye, he was a tosser
Lee, but did have two
very sexy backing singers in what must have been a
very cold studio, if you get my drift
