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. :notworthy:

Stuninng. Never seen anyone have that mass reaction at Glasto.

Guess a bit up for us common people. :wink:

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. :roll: :lol:

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 :wink:

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. :innocent: :) 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? :urff:

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 :wink: :innocent: .
