Surprised no-one is commenting on how amazing the bass is in this song. I really have a soft spot for the 90's highly tuned, Peter Hook sound.

[@dixonpinfold2582]

Aren't most people watching on their computers and getting a pretty muddy earful? And in the 90s wasn't Peter Hook mostly cashing cheques and tending his investments online from a great gaudy house on the shores of Lake Geneva or Lake Como? But yeah, I'm with ya.

Saw Pulp at a pub called The Duchess & there were only 7 of us there. Jarvis came off the stage and sung & danced in the middle of us. Pissing about with the mic in the pocket of his tight fitting crinoline trousers. Rude boy.

[@shayneoneill1506]

@@JohnCox-ut3cv Its almost a crime that it took them a good decade and a bit before they got any bigger than a local pub band. I was staggered to have learned they formed in 78 (or therabouts).

If you've got this song in your life, your life is good. Long live pulp and their poptastic genius.

[@Picnicl]

The many different, heartbreaking, riffs in this are like a velvet purse - Babies is high romantic seediness. It's exquisite. There won't quite be a Pulp again as it requires first hand, bewildered, knowledge of supermarkets that are all decorated in various shades of brown, of environments where Rita Sue and Bob Too is a sympathetic contemporary, of the descent of the north amongst the chattering classes, of the culturelessness of Thatcherism and, yes, even of free university tuition that meant more of the intelligentsia were of very different backgrounds (and were cooler because lack of money didn't obsess them) . No more a taste of honey unless it's a euphemism.

1987 Walthamstow Charity shop. Pennies purchased a Purple wide lapel jacket, massively collared horribly tight shirt. Brown striped, tight thighs but flared strides. Big fat fake sideburns. Grabbed my mate’s Tarzan wig off him to finish it off. Walking into the Rose and Crown and drinkers were like WTF?!! What is that. No irony or trend just a laugh. This video lifts my spirits more than anything I can think of. The visuals and interactions. The clever beautiful piercing synth, clever bridges and Rhythms. Soooooooo good. Love u RoRo.

You know how many “Jarvis spotting” stories I’ve read? A lot. They can’t all be true. I doubt most of them. If they’re true, this guy wanders around England non-stop, aimlessly “bumping into” the entire country while wearing the most interesting clothes and shoes ever manufactured

[@jlrosenthal1125]

[@marylotus684]

I met him in an airport in 2016 we were on the same flight flying berlin to manchester... i thought it couldnt be him flying easy jet... but i mentioned it to my sister who i was traveling with and the stranger in front of us turned around and said it is him his suitcase has his initials! anyway in the later struck up a conversation with JC he was incredibly nice and gracious and i have always been a huge fan.. we talked about what we were reading... he was wearing a black corduroy suit. one of the most surreal moments of my life.

What about Damon Albarn?

[@RoasterMcdougalify]

Damon Albarn was a very talented bell end, but I formed that opinion when he was rude to Jonathan Woss who is also a bit of a bellend so there may be bellend saturation skewing the data.

Remember during Britpop everyone was picking a side between Oasis and Blur. Seems ridiculous as Pulp were delivering stuff like this that was on another level. The "Different Class" album was light years ahead of anything Blur and Oasis put out.

[@elwray3506]

Whoa, hold it right there. While "Different Class" is an outstanding album, it wasn´t ahead of anything, really. In terms of experimental playfulness and quality in delivering sound experience it is nowhere near Blur´s "13" album. And again, I love Pulp and I think "Different Class" is possibly their best album and one of my favourite album of the 90´s. But keep it real, please.
