She came from Greece. She had a thirst for knowledge. She studied sculpture at Saint Martin’s College, that’s where I caught her eye. She told me that her Dad was loaded. I said, “In that case, I’ll have a rum and coca-cola.” She said, “Fine”.
If anything this year, I embraced pop – but British pop, to be more specific. When the English accent isn’t as prominent and the buildup is as brilliant as “Common People” by Pulp, I tend to destroy things. As this banger radiated from the speakers, my cell phone would routinely turn into a drum stick and my steering wheel posed as the skins. After cracking a personal item or two, I realized that maybe it was time to explore Pulp’s catalog. My first venture was Different Class, from 1996, which as any British pop aficionado knows, is monumental – maybe even a near flawless record? It’s sure got one hell of a three song combo; you can experience this brilliancy below…
and probably the true classic of the record…
Documentaries are usually made about movements, a band’s yearlong tour, a president, but an hour feature on one song? This stomper became such a phenomenon that you have 60 minutes of your time to allot to discover everything you ever wanted to know about Pulp’s “Common People”.
