Pulp - Mis-Shapes

[@tommybleasdale]

By far the best band of the Britpop scene for me. The intelligent and artful antidote to the laddishness of the era. ❤️✌🏼

[@vincentserrano1595]

100%

[@Evan64m]

Suede was with them there too

[@firekind1980]

All the britpop bands were great

[@firekind1980]

All the bands were great

[@isobel9593]

In case anyone was wondering, the song played at the start is 'Sorted out for E's and Whizz', another great song by Pulp

[@jerseymonolith]

Double a side with this song. Hence the controversial cover art of the single

[@fecklessmovies]

@@jerseymonolith I’m not a huge fan of Pulp but I’ve always liked both the songs on that single. The first line of mis-shapes is such a great start to a song and so memorable.

[@j.c7719]

I liked that bizarre album Scott Walker produced

[@javiersp8272]

Jarvis's dancing and finger pointing in this video is utterly brilliant.

[@Verminskyi]

One might say it's...."on point!"

[@stevepafford5501]

was there actually. And 25 years later I finally write about it all stevepafford.com/differentclass25/

[@oliviacyrus7528]

Love it- Ultimately we use our minds 👏🏽👍🏽😁💃🏻

[@Lyndanet]

Yes it is

[@MrNncon]

The fuck. I'm barely able to put this video together lol I'm Canadian

[@71PG]

Looking back, Pulp were the best band of this era. Never realised it at the time.

[@neilirvine95]

Caught in the oasis wave myself mate , only just realised pulp/jarvis puts them well in the shade 😎

[@71PG]

@Kieran Regan Suede were a great band but I love Pulp's working class view of life.

[@bragee]

I actually did but, as an italian, I was the only Pulp fan in my company...

[@arita2006]

It was all about Oasis v Blur at the time, Pulp went slightly under the radar as a result but their songs were far, far better.

[@firekind1980]

Mainics Blur Oasis and many more. There was no best. We were gifted.

[@TheGreatAvocado]

this song is so underrated

[@LPJack02]

RIP Steve Mackey (November 10, 1966 - March 2, 2023), aged 56 You will be remembered as a legend.

[@cafferacerchannel]

My three musketeers of the era, PULP, BLUR, SUEDE

[@starlit-rain]

Definitely! My dad is a fan of all three since the 90s and in 2022 i was lucky enough to see Suede with him

[@CossLouis]

Jarvis Cocker: 100% talent 100% looks 10000% magic hands

[@megglesy]

How many ways do I adore Jarvis? Each and every way, even now he's still so charismatic.

[@mybldyvlntn]

Jarvis is definitely the most unconventionally beautiful man to ever.

[@tilerman]

Totally agree with you! And coming from a heterosexual male hot on the heels of Jarvis are Brett Anderson (she's in fashion) and Morrissey (girlfriend in a coma). All impossibly beautiful human beings.

[@jmc66543]

💯

[@mrneutral8423]

I'm a straight man and I appreciate him.

[@LightYagami-xl1wz]

He’s soooooo handsome ❤️❤️

[@firekind1980]

Jarvis made the idea we could all be something. Then we woke up!

[@wondercaro2008]

This song have never mean so clear for me today than ever. I've been listening to it from a long time. I'm 42 now, and I feel like this have been written exactly for me and for now.

[@nforne]

I’m curious, what did you mean by that?

[@ianoldskool]

This track is just fucking genius. It really does ring true of the society of the day, (the 90's) beyond and before. I love this track and Jarvis really is a genius to recognise this in such a clever and public way

[@acovenofmany333]

Still rings true in 2022!!!

[@paulgerard410]

Well, yes, but it does nick the verse from “The Greatest Love of All” for its chorus, which is always rather distracting…

[@diannedove5934]

​@@paulgerard410Does it??

[@annclaeys8717]

As a Belgian speaking, Jarvis Cocker is the only person who made lyrics more important than the music. What a genius! Still I always felt guilty reading the lyrics whilst listening to the music, because I was not supposed to accordingly to Jarvis Cocker ;-)

[@bazahaza]

Listen to the Kinks. Ray Davies was a Genius.

[@Banksy100]

Everyone reads the lyrics if they're there!😁

[@elenag.8312]

Pulp and Suede, my favorites ❤🇨🇱

[@NenaMataHari]

This song rings true today more than ever.

[@cmdraven]

Revenge of the nerds. Brilliant opener to a great album, 'Different Class'.

[@fatherjack636]

“Blur or Oasis” PULP

[@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747]

The Britpop equivalent to: Q- The Beatles or The Stones? A- The Kinks

[@Hellwyck]

SQUEEZE, IRON MAIDEN, MANICS, THE POLICE, EURYTHMICS.

So underrated. Lyrical genius.

[@nigelwalker6103]

Brilliant song. One of the tracks of my youth. I was one of the kids who were outcasts and this was one of the songs that spoke to me.

[@CaStumpe75]

Same here!

[@hemulik.8117]

Gawd how good this band is.. Jarvis and the band.... perfection.. talent.. and LOTS of fun !!! 😎

[@TH33QUALIZ3R]

I miss the 90's :(

[@Cossy1979Uk]

What a band, what a record time machine please

[@cosmicaii]

"IT'S GOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!! IT'S GOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!!" Gets me every time

[@gabrielmercado1104]

I was 15 years old by the time this song came out and it meant the world to me. We shall prevail!

[@Cherrytarnishedskull]

The most realist song ever

[@mekeithwhoyou]

i discovered Pulp in my record store coz i thought the cover for This Is Hardcore looked awesome. been hooked ever since. !viva Pulp!

Pulp on the goblet of fire 🔥

[@noelnasty]

Got to be my second favorite Pulp songs, such a criminally underrated song.

[@hmmurdockofids]

Big fan of Pulp, especially Cocker's unique delivery and mannerisms. Finally occurred to me this week that it's "we won't use bombs" and not "we want cheese balls" I just thought he could use a little snack.

[@toirdealhac]

Very underated band

[@josephgaudet67]

Underrated legends!

[@grahamtait8031]

Very thick. Cracked me up when I first heard it. So so cool.

[@willianchanrockin3952]

Different Classes is timeless !

[@janisauzins4103]

I love how they just start playing straight ahead Bond music during the chorus

[@Evajeanfreedom]

Just put your hands up, this is a raid... What an anthem! I remember loving this when I was a painfully shy teenager who hated myself. This still sounds amazing, so sharp 😎

[@gevvy6]

Genuinely surprised this song has never been used in an X Men movie

[@GudieveNing]

Although I have one or two of their fantastic songs in my Spotify playlist, I have only in the last week or so 'discovered' Pulp (I lived in USA for a decade), and am totally and utterly obsessed with the band, the music and of course Jarvis. I actually like almost every one of their tracks, the videos are awesome and Jarvis is just so goddamn seductive in a way I cannot explain. Kinda like Bowie I guess? With music today so mediocre or a bad influence for kids due to crap like X-Factor or gang culture, to be able to get into such an outstanding band is refreshing. Now going to go watch all the other Pulp videos and load up the playlist! And keep practising guitar...

[@Jhewitt-ev6ye]

If you think he's bowie-esque and seductive, may I suggest Suede as well?

[@Banksy100]

He comes across like that purely because he's just being himself...simple as that. They were writing great songs right from the start. That was 10+ years before their first "hit" single/LP!

[@froggary]

Masterpiece

[@paulhenderson6388]

Most underrated 90s band ever

[@Harteo3917]

I had no idea what this was about but now i do. Here's to the "weirdos" who're actually some of the most sane, intelligent, and creatively talented people out there. The ones calling us "weirdos" are just very traumatized children underneath the bravado and machoness not just the dudes but the girls like this too. When you finally stop being scared of them and telling yourself the story of what they did and how they're acting towards you and others you're free and it's such a relief🙂

[@marcvesper]

Pulp and Placebo were as intelligently and spiritually definitive for me as The Matrix and Gattaca were for the mid-late 90s.

[@nadiaalejandravazquez6331]

Amo a pulp

[@adelrysava9029]

This is the best song

[@ProfessorChomsky]

An outstanding song by any measure. Magnificent x

[@kezann]

It's one of my go-to 'lets rouse the rabble' songs, Shared it sooo many times over the years. If only Pulp gave as much of a shit about humanity.

[@michaelmoore.5167]

1995 great year for music films tv, and one great hot 🔥 🥵 summer ☀️. 😅

[@dazdennis9956]

This is the rise of the geeks anthem. Growing up in the 90's it makes perfect sense.. A writer ahead of his time.

[@rashotcake6945]

Without watching the video, it sounds like poor vs rich, rather than geeks vs society

[@drakocarrion]

@@rashotcake6945 Very rarely are the poor people who "learn too much at school". This song is for the outcast

[@urituba6993]

It's exactly about being poor and "learning too much at school". It's about working class nerds and misfits, people like me and my friends. It's about the generation of working class kids, of whom Pulp were part of, who had more access to further and higher education (free tuition fees, polytechnic universities, community colleges, well resourced libraries etc), which then politicised them against the ruling system "We learnt too much at school now we can't help but see that the future that you've got mapped out is nothing much to shout about". Also note the line "We'll use the one thing we've got more of and that's our minds." It's about being working class, eccentric, and smarter than the stupid rich cunts in charge. Source: I've been singing and dancing to this song for 25 years or whatever the fuck it is now. It is our anthem!

[@wolfiestreet6899]

It's great to convince the geeks that they're in control. They're so eager! All that productivity yield.....

Jarvis Cocker. Pulp. Brilliant.

[@JohnFMoser]

'The financial/material saturation of this country England (cf. the film 'I'm Alright Jack' (1959), that began in earnest in the year 1960 with a seemingly-endless supply of cheap manufactured goods, obviously showed no signs of abating a generation later in the year 1995, going by the lyrics of this song.' I.e a great piece of 1990s social commentary, rendering Jarvis Cocker a rightful evolution of a particularly cynical/deeply thought-provoking lyrical style initiated by Ray Davies w/ The Kinks in the 1960s, subsequently worked upon by Paul Weller w/ The Jam in the 1970s to brilliant effect. Amen. John Moser Accountant
