[@CandySphynx]

No one dances like Jarvis. He's got the best dance moves ever.

[@anastasias3678]

For the ones who are confused about first lines of the song: this song is not taking itself seriously. The first lines are actually dumb, childish insults. You know how in the middle school, people are trying insulting you with “your mom” jokes etc. Also it shows the culture: members of Pulp grew up in poor neighborhoods where people are more aggressive. The character in the song is mad after break up, so he insults his former partner in different ways…

[@antonystringfellow5152]

Similar to where I grew up, though that wasn't really poor. I think it's quite common across the industrial North. At least, the industrial parts of Yorkshire.

[@Jess-nl8hz]

Poor=more aggressive? Come on man 😂😂😂 wise up

[@anastasias3678]

@@Jess-nl8hz I am sorry it came out wrong, poor doesn’t equal more aggressive. But I am also speak from my own experience, I grew up in Ukraine in the village and people were more expressive and less friendly, cause life there was very tough. When I moved to other place I noticed the difference in culture and how people communicate. But it depends more on people self than status and place. But I was just talking about what I read about the song and yeah I maybe wrong too

[@memedbengul4350]

Different Class is one of the last 'great' albums made, but Razzmatazz is simply unbeatable as the best Pulp song. Pop perfection; and I was never into Brit-pop all that much.

[@nuttycommuter3718]

Agreed! It’s the song from “Intro” that you buy the album for and don’t care that it’s only this and Stacks and Babies that you listen to!

[@curiositypiqued6573]

One of my fave Pulp songs, top 3 possibly. Under known and under appreciated.

[@netmorksevolve154]

1. Razzamatazz 2. Disco 2000 3. Do You Remember The First Time

[@vulgarshudder]

Daww you're missing Common People, which I would put into 3. if you made me choose but it's like choosing between your children.

[@netmorksevolve154]

vulgarshudder lol, I know..common people is like their trade mark song. But personally I will put it on #4. Those 3 songs have similiarty..an ironic melody (I don't know what's the word). Its catchy but also sad at same time..

[@hectormerc350]

[@thebasedgodmax1163]

[@eugeneshadwell6596]

[@nmp290765]

All that brit pop palaver put me off back in the 90s. Pulp make Oasis look like the B grade Beatles imitators they were. Pulp are one of the all time great English bands. Jarvis is a brilliant lyric writer, up there with Ray Davies

[@sofyacherepanova5886]

lyrics: The trouble with your brother, He's always sleeping with your mother. And I know that your sister missed her time again this month. Am I talking too fast or are you just playing dumb? If you want I can write it down. It should matter to you, 'Cause aren't you the one, With your razzmatazz and the nights on the town? Oh you knew it, and you blew it didn't you babe? I was lying when I asked you to stay. Now no-one's gonna care, If you don't call them when you said. And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed. And all those stupid little things, They ain't working, No they ain't working any more. You started getting fatter, Three weeks after I left you. And now you're going with some kid who looks like some bad comedian. Are you gonna go out? Or are you sitting at home eating boxes of Milk Tray? Watch TV on your own, aren't you the one, With your razzmatazz and your nights on the town? And your father wants to help you doesn't he babe? But your mother wants to put you away. Now no-one's gonna care, If you don't call them when you said. And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed. And all those stupid little things, They ain't working, No they ain't working any more. Oh well I saw you at the doctor's, Waiting for a test. You tried to look like some kind of heiress, But your face is such a mess. And now you're going to a party, And you're leaving on your own. Well, I'm sorry, but didn't you say, That things go better with a little bit of razzamatazz? And now no-one's gonna care, If you don't call them when you said. And he's not coming round tonight to try and talk you into bed. Now it's half past ten in the evening, And you wish that you were dead, 'Cause all those stupid little things, They ain't working, No they ain't working any more

[@VICERACTRIVOX]

I bought the book that features in the opening shots called: "How to Live in Style: Young Color Guide to Modern Decoration, 1974". Brilliant read that gives real insights into the visual stylistics of PULP's music videos. An example includes a double page spread 110 to 111 with a rounded beveled image in full 1970's décor (*showing a wall-integrated alcove bath unit fixture with a beveled square frame design in the picture). This finding is relevant to reflect the boarder you see throughout 'DISCO 2000'. There aren't as many hardback copies available to buy. (*Original Post = 66 Likes - was removed due to a troll).
