Pulp-Common people (Glastonbury 1998)

[@buzzardbeatniks]

Thank you for writing a song for the 99 percent.

[@TSotP]

It's more like a song for the 48%. According to a 2013 study of British Class, 48% of people are "working class" or lower. That's all your electronics technicians, care workers, cleaners, van drivers, electricians, bar staff, chefs, nursing auxiliaries and assistants, assemblers and routine operatives, elementary storage occupations, customer service occupations, joiners, caretakers, leisure and travel service occupations, shopkeepers and proprietors, and retail cashiers. The Common People

The best lyrics in the history of music and lyrics. Even without the music, it's a great piece of modern poetry.

[@davidrobert1948]

Being a poor kid in the 90s who lived in a council house, this song for me like many other people was so easy to relate to. That was the great thing about Britpop, the commercialised, manufactured rubbish today is so fake, it has no meaning.

[@tonybates7870]

This is a devastating performance by a ridiculously underrated band. "Common People" is a classic, possibly the greatest lyric to ever grace the UK top five. Anyone remember the Tory that said he could live on dole money and would prove it by doing it for a week? I don't know if Cocker was inspired by that idiocy but the fact that the guy wouldn't experience the despair of living on benefits because he'd be back to his nice life in a week is really reminiscent of the rich girl in the song slumming it and being one phone call away from luxury. This was a triumph.

[@danieloneill9560]

One of the best live performances I have ever seen. The roar of the crowd at the end was unreal.

[@jamesdarrenhepworth7014]

Wasn’t it just was this before or after he fell off the stage 😂

[@jamesdarrenhepworth7014]

The year I got my hand stamped whilst hitchhiking

[@Kapricorn1]

Fuck me, I was somewhere in that crowd, muddy and rainy it was but what memories to have

[@jamesdarrenhepworth7014]

I was too muddy or what 🎉

[@fatherjack636]

This is one of the greatest songs to be performed live

[@nxyslzv]

I Really Love This Song....I Really Love Jarvis Cocker....❤️PULP....,,❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍😿😍😍😍😘😘😘😘

This should be the UK national anthem - either empty oblivion or be creative and escape

My first Glasto of three and I shall never ever forget my fabulous, incredible times in the sacred and unique Vale of Avalon.

I was there so long ago still sends shivers down my spine ps I was on acid even better xdx

I am so jealous, are you a dad now? if so you are one fucking cool dad.

Every year gets better and better! Rise of the common people! 2017!!

[@stevestreetly7505]

I was there, fantastic, bit damp

[@jamesdarrenhepworth7014]

A bit damp it was muddy as you can get

[@graffitiwomen]

I so would've loved to be there! I'm singing along.... because I'm common if nothing else! ✌🏻

[@danieloneill9560]

I wanna live with common people like you.

Esta es la mejor camciom de el tiene fuerza y como leuanta al publico es excelemte

[@leslielenahan2619]

Brilliant record love it

[@pjorodogg]

Jarvis, and by far. He is probably the best frontman ever, and his writing style and the riffs are unique, and awsome, his style too, the dance moves. And Common people is in the top five as best track in the 90s. I mean to like Pulp is cool

[@shauncorless8965]

I was there with the common people 😜

[@danbennett2217]

2020 is a tuff year thank god my locals open and its Sunday lunch time with 8 pints in me and 30 people singing along to this in my local Jarvis you legend

For my two bestest friends. Thanks. I owe you both.

[@H0LAI]

First Glasto was only 16. Primal Scream, Blur and Pulp. amazing! missed Ian Brown though :(

[@KAZSANable]

This is so beautifull

[@Morph-on1vl]

Back when glastonbury was raw and about the music and not full of middle class kids pretending to be hippies for the weekend

[@JohnKobaRuddy]

These people are middle class for the most part. Don’t know where you’ve got the idea that Glastonbury was a working class thing. Although I agree with the rump of your comment

[@joe928ful]

Alright grandad, when I was listening to Pulp my much older brother who was a punk used to piss and moan with his mates saying the same thing about Britpop. Music move with the times, The kids are alright.

[@dirkbogarde44]

@@joe928ful Yet....for the most part......music today is shite.

[@daveschwartz5893]

Coachella went the other way. Trust fund kids and Hollywood messed up that festival. People forget it used to be an amazing festival. Same thing with Burning Man. Shame what these festivals have become.

[@1220b]

Glastonbury should never of been televised. It woke the weekend warriors up to festival.

It is 98. They played both of those years. Filled in for the Roses in 95 when they imploded.

[@daveschwartz5893]

I just wish they would sit on a shot longer then 5 secs.

[@coordinationdelfdalfmalais2830]

Is it the ultimate live version???

[@TSotP]

No, check out Reading 2011, it's easily my favourite of all the ones I've seen here on KZbin. And the crowd. You can hear them singing the whole way through. I love it!
