[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Eleven years after your comment was left, I concur. Jarvis gets all the credit but the musical arrangements, melodies, epic operatic structure and incredible production really need their time in the sun when it comes to exploration and documentation of Pulp's musical genius.

[@projectresonate5142]

[@EvilKris]

lol bloke, almost every person born in the 70/80's knows Pulp, and they're probably the most famous BritPop band after Blur and Oasis, so I think you need to check your info. Maybe you meant the song is underrated? That would be true.

[@jonathandavies3559]

[@jonathandavies3559]

[@punchdrunkassassin]

They're not so well known in North America (in my corner of it, at least). It seems it's mostly just Oasis and Blur that have endured.

[@coope1999]

His 'n' Hers is the best album by any artist. FACT.

[@TheGreatAvocado]

I love pulp because Jarvis lyrics relate to me so much and don't... It gives me a life I never had... And many of his songs made me stronger and feel better when I'm at my worst even though they're sad lyrics, they help me move on from bad events in my life.. He shows me that I can get through it..

[@drunkenmaster6434]

always related more to Jarvis Cocker and Shaun Ryder than the Gallaghers or Blur

Anyone miss the days when there were no mobile phones or internet and you used to hang out with friends listen to music and get drunk on cheap cider at a house party? Makes me really nostalgic for the mid nineties. :(

Ten years ago Lily...how much has the nostalgia intensified in 2022? If you still feel as passionately as in this old comment then I have to agree with you. I don't envy kids today at all. I'm so grateful that I had my youthful fun before the internet really kicked off.

[@tess1982]

Arguably the best band from a proper music city, Sheffield, and also so quintessentially English it's a wonder they have any popularity at all outside of Blighty.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

This video is so '90s...the swinging camera, the wild, manic editing and saturated colour. It also brings to mind that fisheye lens that every band had PR photos taken through/music videos totally over using. Pulp are genius. I heard the Alice B Toklas tinkly bells ringing simultaneously when I first heard them.

[@kimwexler9393]

Had the strange position of getting to know Pulp better through my first love, them becoming one of my favourite bands, and then being unable to listen to His n' Hers ever since. I walked into an indie record shop recently in Bangor, NI and bought the LP It sounds FANTASTIC.

[@RyRy-wz9ql]

Man, the grainy, overexposed aesthetic of this vid and some others from the same time period is so beautiful. I'd kill to learn if that look could be replicated today

[@alexbull4497]

I believe the visuals for this music video were a homage to a scene from the 1970s sci-fi movie "The Final Programme".

[@joachimb5721]

Of course it can be replicated. You need the right lighting, the right stage design and the right post production software filters.

[@beef1000]

to be honest, even if the quality/premice/style of the video seems gaudy, it's all part of the sheer novelty. between the garish fashion and sporatic camerawork, it's all just very nostalgic.

Pulp is the best thing to come out of the 80's

[@superyid2010]

90's

[@ultrablaster3000]

Nope 80's got famous in the 90's but they are basically an 80's band

[@jamie1234591]

ultrablaster3000 Ahhh, but what about The Smiths??

[@pTeronaut]

They formed as Arabicus Pulp in 1978 and had plenty of play on John Peel's show on BBC One, before hitting the big time with the single 'Babies' and the album "His N Hers", which prompted Jarvis to say that they were "the longest running overnight sensation"

[@joachimb5721]

So they are basically a 70s band. Just kidding. If all your relevant stuff was made in the 90s, you are a 90s band.

[@lanahoward2209]

Watching Pulp videos now makes me a little sad. It's really depressing to know how they were kind of not as well appreciated because of the whole Blur Vs. Oasis shite.

That your stomach looks bigger and your hair is a mess And your eyes are just holes in your face And it rains every day and when it doesn’t The sun makes you feel worse anyway, oh [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] [Bridge] Though you knew there was no way it was gonna last forever It still shook you when he told you in a letter That he didn't wanna see you You nearly lost your mind, oh yeah [Chorus II] Oh, you've lost your lipgloss, honey Oh yeah Now nothing you do can turn him on There's something wrong You had it once but now it's gone, oh yeah Oh, you've lost your lipgloss, honey Oh yeah Now nothing you do can turn him on There's something wrong You had it once but now it's gone [Outro] Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh, ooh Oh yeah
