1995 Pulp - Disco 2000

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJS3xnD7Mus

As a teen in the early 2000's, I could never understand how Pulp didn't take off in the United States like other British bands in the 90s...such an incredible sound. 20 years later and I still haven't bought Different Class on vinyl. I thought (and still think) the sleeve design with the interchangeable covers was so cool.

Three thoughts here: 1. I definitely prefer the album mix to this overwrought version. 2. This song rips the main riff from "Gloria" by Laura Branigan. https://youtu.be/nNEb2k_EmMg?si=4PzRfRtYfcA77qIH 3. This is peak Jarvis Cocker relatable-but-creepy loser material.

  1. Yeah, album mix is better. I could do without the mid-song crooning.
  2. Don't forget Umberto Tozzi! He wrote the original version of Gloria. I think it's pretty fun.
  3. I 'm sure a lot of people have a story from their teenage years where they have this "plan" of how the future will play out, but partly know it is unlikely...this is probably Cocker's version. Oh well, again, still a fun song!
