If the question is Blur or Oasis the answer is always Pulp.

I love the ordinariness of Pulp songs - they have such a lovely blend of humour and pathos, and always very grounded in a recognisable northern working class culture

[@algarvio7910]

Greatness in ordinariness...

[@booshank2327]

Same as what Tom Waits does in depicting America's forgotten and down-trodden in a lot of his songs. Makes the bleak, mundane and everyday glisten with appeal and romanticism and a cloud of sadness hanging over it all.

[@danic9304]

@@booshank2327 What a fantastic way of putting it. And I completely agree. I've never thought of the similarity before.

Yeah, none of that soppy champagne & roses .. :)

Jarvis Cocker reportedly said all the lyrics for Disco 2000 were all true, bar the "woodchip on the wall"

[@_Flibble]

Fun fact, this song is based on a True stories, Jarvis and Deborah stayed friends until Deborah's sad death. Jarvis even sang this song at Deborah's wedding.

[@leewalker101172]

Pulp are a brilliant band. Jarvis Cocker writes lyrics that are like little kitchen sink dramas. Stories of the lives of regular British people told with a little bit of humor and a lot of sympathy. He's a tall gangly awkward regular bloke and we loved him for it. Disco 2000 and common people were their biggest hits but standouts include Babies, Underwear, Sorted for Es and Wizz, This is hardcore and something changed. Also Jarvis mooned Michael Jackson live on stage at the Brit awards show for which we loved him even more.

[@Lovelee123]

Little kitchen sink dramas has to be the best description I’ve read for his songs 👏

[@korrel340]

Sorted for E's and whizz is a good one

[@sbnqy]

Need the lyrics too tho I think

[@tonycasey3183]

So many people suggested this song in the comments on Common People. It's definitely one to react to, as you say, with the lyrics! Also, Caught By The Fuzz by Supergrass.

[@inyourfacespacecoyote1061]

I second that motion!

[@challenger2031]

That song was just nostalgia on another level 💟

[@martinotoole9959]

Yes. But ages ago your Honour!

[@octaviussludberry9016]

Probably elsewhere in the comments, but I can't be arsed looking....wood chip was a type of very cheap wallpaper, which literally had small chips of wood in it to give it texture. My mum used to tell me off for picking the chips out of it. I suspect I wasn't alone.

"Do you remember the last time" is defo my favourite Pulp song

[@dandax8707]

Like Common People its a pity you couldn't watch the actual video, your really missing the full 'Jarvis' experience.

[@cattycooper1137]

Do Sorted for Es and Whizz by Pulp

[@cyrus2728]

Yes oh yes

[@frapestyle]

The album this song is from is called "Different Class" and there are some fantastic songs on there. I think you've already reacted to Common People (also from this album) One of my favourites from the album and (in my opinion) one of their darkest is "I Spy". That's got some lyrics that'll get you thinking! Or even "Pencil Skirt", which Jarvis Cocker has himself described as "a dirty little number" :-D

[@joycegrove5602]

Both of those tracks are deliciously filthy ;)

[@michaeljohn1978]

Pulp recommendations apart from the one's you've done already: Do You Remember The First Time?, Lipgloss, Babies, Mis-Shapes, I Spy, Live Bed Show, Underwear and This Is Hardcore

[@donnastephenson4540]

YES ALL THE ABOVE!

[@SharonTaylor123]

I third this, exactly the other songs I'd suggest. Great band, as a teen in the 1990s during the whole Blur vs. Oasis I always sided with Pulp.

But there was a kind of final party of her life that was thrown and Jarvis came along to play a mini gig for her.

[@DaveBartlett]

Much of the lyrical content of Jarvis Cocker songs is based on his own personal experiences. 'Deborah' in 'Disco 2000' actually existed, and their respective mothers had been friends since the maternity hospital. Jarvis has admitted though, that he and Deborah were actually born a few hours apart on the same day, but that "within an hour of each other" scanned much better as a lyric. (Poetic licence, anyone?)

[@richardknowles1171]

'A Little Soul' is just gorgeous. Probably Jarvis's least arch, lyrically. Please give it a listen, even if it isn't a recorded reaction one. Your souls will be enriched, fittingly, given the song title.

[@EnterTheNameHere_Bohemian]

One fact you might find fascinating - this is song from 1995. Pulp got tohether in 1978! That's 17 years between them starting playing and when he wrote these lyrics. I don't know how old he was when they started (touch of mystery) but right now I'm probably at that age when he wrote the lyrics... Even that I'm not from England or close to anything I could call common people, this song just hurts bulls eye. 17 years. They are still around even now, planning 2023 reunion, and "even if it was the only thing they are known for," they still get singalong of tens of thousands people, because "it's a good song"... 27 years later.

[@stevecarter8810]

Jarvis, a brit: lost dreams, futility, the relentless march of time, failure to move on or heal. American: that was a *fun song*

[@mitchellcullen899]

'Yes', by Mcalmont and Butler is a classic 90's song you should look at lads.

[@dannyhaobam9858]

Absolutely love 'Yes'. It's a gem of a song.

[@tiffyyorkshire6124]

Jarvis is great at creating visions from our teenage /early adult times. I don't know if Jarvis still buys his clothes from charity shops but he used to

[@christianpatey4335]

I was as their concert last night in home city of Sheffield England. This was their 2nd song on the list and everyone in the arena got on their feet (around 10k) and was singing along to the song and common people was towards the end those two songs (also mid-shapes) they send a electrifying vibes though the arena everyone singing to every word what a concert what a night have three gigs left this tour but definitely a group to see live

[@OblivionGate]

You should react to The Smiths. Their best tune is The Queen is Dead but they have many other great songs, How Soon is Now is another great song

[@fredmila]

I love this song, talking about a girl you grew up with and fancied but nothing happened between you. We all have as story like that. Like on the Wonder Years.

I Spy is an amazing track from Pulp worth reacting to.

[@sorscha1308]

Our version of friends was 'coupling' and the theme tune was Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps by Doris Day but i get you. Anyway, loads of suggestions here for their stuff. I think Something Changed and misshapes are my faves of the entry level stuff of theirs.

[@SaturnusDK]

Coupling was miles better than Friends. Funnier and went far deeper into the topic of adult relationships. Were Friends is a superficial comedy with a story-telling background but always fishing for cheap thrill laughs, Coupling on the other hand is comedy with a deeper meaning that isn't afraid to let the real belly-laughs build up through an intricate story line. For anyone looking it up, I should note that there is a failed US version of Coupling as well. Avoid that at all cost.

[@donnastephenson4540]

Mis-shapes, Mile End, This is Hardcore, Underwear, Babies and Do You Remember the 1st Time as an appetizer. I'll recommend the main course later!

[@mikehughes7730]

And guys ‘wood chip on the wall’ is a very knowing class statement .. a form cheap wallpaper used to paper over bad wall plaster in old houses ..

[@Veyron1967]

'Babies' - by Pulp. You know you want to.

[@sandramorris893]

Love a bit of Pulp, fun nostalgia. Went digging around in my music brain and came up with 3 other bands who fit into this category of story telling, (I'm sure there's many more but these 3 came to mind nostalgically) Squeeze (70's, 80's) 'Cool For Cats' or 'Up The Junction' Our national treasure Jools Holland was in this band. The Streets (2004) 'Fit but you know it' and Plan B (2010) 'She Said'

[@darrenbuckley2082]

Classic, this is a rabbit hole you could go down, i was an Oasis fan but i still liked a lot of Blurs stuff, "Tender" for some reason is one of my favourites, there are plenty to choose from.

[@anthonyholroyd5359]

I love this song - i love the nostalgia of growing up with folk and seeing how diffierent we all become. Yes, it says 'lets all meet up in the year 2000, wont it be strange when we're all fully grown' - which is funny because i was closer to being the 'baby' in the story than being 'fully grown' back then - i was 5 for most of 2000, 6 towards the end. But its still has the warm melancholy . . . A bittersweet, cynical nostalgia that Pulp do so well.

[@kiracunningham205]

Ha! Friendzoned by birth! What an epic summary for this tune! Fantastic!

[@J_Stamps86]

I always loved this song. I'm from Sheffield, the city Pulp are from. When I was 18 back in 2004 I used to work in Sheffield train station in WH Smith and I twice served Jarvis Cocker, the lead singer when he came into our store. I never said anything to let on, but I think he knew by my expression that I knew who he was.

Just Subscribed, fantastic channel, it's so exciting to watch you guys experiencing for the first time the music I and so many others love it really keeps it new. I'm from Sheffield, England, big PULP fan, Jarvis is a real front character, you should watch him perform. Did you see him moon live onstage during Michael Jackson's performance of Earth Song in 1996... what a guy. Darker side of PULP: “I SPY” Another PULP classic: “Babies” New BritPop band suggestion: LongPigs (again from Sheffield UK). The album to head for is called “The Sun Is Often Out” it's up your musical street. Longpigs: “She Said” Longpigs: “Lost Myself” Have fun and keep going !

Pulp did some fantastic quirky and poptastic songs. Their popularity with the 'powers that be' took a wallop when Jarvis (lead singer) waved his arse at Michael Jackson during a performance in the UK (Brit Awards Earth Song) But the singles were cool as and it's great that they stand the test of time! ❤🙏🏻

Fun fact the fountain that is talked about in the song actually refers to a pub in Sheffield that was fairly popular when the song was written, unfortunately it closed a while ago though.

A class tune🖤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@teamtommo6401]

You may know this already, but it was Jarvis Cocker from Pulp who stormed the stage when Micheal Jackson was pretending to be god while performing earth song. We did have our own version of friends here in fact we had. 2. We had Game on and This life. Both of which had actors go on to be big Hollywood stars. They were a little bit ruder and funnier than friends! As you’d expect from Brits! 😀

There's a video of Deborogh Bone MBE, 50th birthday party, with Jarvis Cocker, Pulp, singing this song to her with a makeshift band, think you would like it.

Pulp was the Headliner at Glastonbury in 1990, you only get to do that if your at the peak! I was there, it was amazing! He also had the pleasure of announcing Margaret Thatchers resignation to the crowd, mid set.

Yeah yous should definitely carry on reacting to Pulp, they were fantastic. Different Class is a 10/10 album, although I think His n Hers is my favorite. It's weird cos Disco 2000 is on Different Class, but that was the His N Hers album you displayed at the end..

I have to congratulate you guys being open to listening to British bands. The 90's Brit bands are just exciting , fresh, great song writings and melodies and I am just inside those scene when i am in my young adulthood.

Hope you guys discover more British bands like i did growing up when i bought Cd singles and albums of excellent bands.
