This band is very clever, and I only realised that since analysing my favourite band for a media project. Rare for people who seem so chilled out, I think they've been intelligent enough to realise that society is just a soul disease, found this style of music as an outlet, and I want in.
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," And in thirty seconds time She said, "I want to live like common people. I want to do whatever common people do, I want to sleep with common people I want to sleep with common people like you." Well, what else could I do? I said, "I'll see what I can do." I took her to a supermarket I don't know why but I had to start it Somewhere, So it started there. I said, "Pretend you've got no money," She just laughed and said, "Oh, you're so funny." I said, "Yeah? Well, I can't see anyone else smiling in here." Are you sure you want to live like common people? You want to see whatever common people see You want to sleep with common people, You want to sleep with common people like me. But she didn't understand, She just smiled and held my hand. Rent a flat above a shop, Cut your hair and get a job. Smoke some fags and play some pool, Pretend you never went to school. But still you'll never get it right 'Cause when you're laid in bed at night Watching 'roaches climb the wall If you called your dad he could stop it all. You'll never live like common people You'll never do whatever common people do You'll never fail like common people You'll never watch your life slide out of view, And dance and drink and screw Because there's nothing else to do. Sing along with the common people, Sing along and it might just get you through Laugh along with the common people Laugh along even though they're laughing at you And the stupid things that you do. Because you think that poor is cool. I want to live with common people like you, I want to live with common people like you [etc..]
Flashdelirium17 I believe one of their fathers was in TSOL and one was associated with The Adolescents, which would explain the awesome Cali punk sound that is in some FIDLAR songs.
Max(drummer) and Elvis(guitar) are the sons of T.S.O.L's keyboardist, Brandon(bass) is the half cousin of them, and Zac(rhythm guitar and normally vocals) is the son of John Carper(I think) a surfboard designer.
Went with 4 friends, got a hotel room and got absolutely smashed at the show. We had one lost wedding ring, one broken pair of glasses, and one friend throwing up in the urinal. Thank god for Uber haha.
13dirty666 Do you even understand the song, the feeling of the poor and how it was in England? Yes it's no Sex Pistols number but Jarvis uses his tone exceptionally well to create andunderlying tone of angst in my opinion. This was a year go and I don't really know why you're commenting but that's my opinion, have a nice night.
I think William Shatners' version was better. This is pretty heavy material for any man to handle, but I think Bill had the proper training. Still, this has some nice ideas.
It's a nice cover, and that's it. It starts way too slow. So it doesn't build that tension, that Pulp did. They sing as powerful in the beginning as in the end. Again no tension. Et cetera. Pulp's original is maybe simple, but clever.
Fidlar is who this song was about. they are voyeurs looking in at garage rock and only seeing "lo-fi! party! beer! drugs!" and at their best they sound like Nobunny/Sneaky Pinks cast offs and at worst Black Lips rejects. this is the epitome of the homogenization of a sub-culture into a fad. it's all so chic and off base i cringe.
garage punk spin on a 90s song
I love it

You should try to see them live, its even more obvious
I want out
shut the fuck up
woke
Are you still gay?
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,"
And in thirty seconds time
She said,
"I want to live like common people.
I want to do whatever common people do,
I want to sleep with common people
I want to sleep with common people like you."
Well, what else could I do?
I said, "I'll see what I can do."
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why but I had to start it
Somewhere,
So it started there.
I said, "Pretend you've got no money,"
She just laughed and said, "Oh, you're so funny."
I said, "Yeah?
Well, I can't see anyone else smiling in here."
Are you sure you want to live like common people?
You want to see whatever common people see
You want to sleep with common people,
You want to sleep with common people like me.
But she didn't understand,
She just smiled and held my hand.
Rent a flat above a shop,
Cut your hair and get a job.
Smoke some fags and play some pool,
Pretend you never went to school.
But still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching 'roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all.
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view,
And dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do.
Sing along with the common people,
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do.
Because you think that poor is cool.
I want to live with common people like you,
I want to live with common people like you [etc..]
“and the SERIOUS things you do”

Thanks for the heads up man,that's some helpful info right there.
I really sounded like a fandboy after
that.
i'm quite new to fidlar and i found this like last week and i love it
found this today and feel quite satisfied my friend
found this today and feel quite HYPED AF my brother
As an enormous fan of the original, and of both Pulp and Fidlar...I approve.
pulp is awesome its good to hear good bands keep them alive sweeet
I like how they took a four min. and 15 second song and made it a two min. and 44 second song.
Wonders of punk rock covers.
The non-radio edit is 5.51 mins or so. Hats off!
Thats fidlar for you
who's experienced them live?!!!!
They are the absolute fucking best it's crazy
absolutely fucking mental, i took a beating in the crowd
+shabbawasowski Awesome, it was.
Went with 4 friends, got a hotel room and got absolutely smashed at the show. We had one lost wedding ring, one broken pair of glasses, and one friend throwing up in the urinal. Thank god for Uber haha.
Ayyyy over here! Wildest pit I've ever been in
I love them so much already and then i discover they cover one of my favorite band.
And in thirty seconds time, this fast version was over. (OK, technically 2:44.) Great job!
I love you for having made that cover
I enjoy this.
Oh wow I like Fidlar and they re invented a great pulp song
Dude .... awesome
I enjoy this.
this cover changed my life
Oh wow I like Fidlar and they re invented a great pulp song
I like the vibe to this
I love how Fidlar, unlike many US bands, get the fucking scathing in the song
awwwwwwwwwww! I so ♥ them for covering this. thx guys!!!!
I wish there was some of their garage punk distortion but still a good cover.
This cover is what I live for ngl.
I fucking love it!
I NEED THIS ON SPOTIFY
love it!!!!!!
well this is lit.
great cover
damn this song is sooo good
Amazing.
'cause me, I pull the screw
this song is 11/10
omg nice cover
Awesome
LEWIS KNOWS
BIG CHEDDAR WENGLEBERRY
pray tell, what else is 'garage rock' about? is it possible that these young men are more self-aware than you're giving them credit for?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think gyrating in his grave is more Jarvis' scene
FUCK YES.
Hecka badass cover. This band is the shit. The card-carrying, tenured shit.
g00d
WWWWWOOOOOAAAAAHH
OH MY GOD
10,000th viewing. I get a prize, right?
misses original angst
No.
***** trollllll :p
+simplykhairah original angst? There is no angst in the original
13dirty666 Do you even understand the song, the feeling of the poor and how it was in England? Yes it's no Sex Pistols number but Jarvis uses his tone exceptionally well to create andunderlying tone of angst in my opinion. This was a year go and I don't really know why you're commenting but that's my opinion, have a nice night.
simplykhairah have a skitz much hahaha. Just because it was a year ago doesn't mean I have to go back in time to comment. It's a polished pop song
I think William Shatners' version was better. This is pretty heavy material for any man to handle, but I think Bill had the proper training. Still, this has some nice ideas.
FUCKING RULES .....
FILM CREW HOLLA
bloody faRT
That's dire. If Jarvis was dead he'd be revolving in his grave.
Interesting. Almost as good as the Bill Shatner version.
People said that they like this cover better than mcr's but I don't know...mcr even added some new lyrics and shit I like theirs better...
MCR is whack tho
hey! chill out! i just expressed my opinion i didnt insult fidlar of anything...no reason to be rude hun
@@wendy257go MCR is whack aint no doubt about it.
cause theres nothing else to do
This cover is so much better than the original
Kamilla Suurkuusk it's almost like people have different taste in music
Stop doing drugs
L
It's a nice cover, and that's it.
It starts way too slow. So it doesn't build that tension, that Pulp did. They sing as powerful in the beginning as in the end. Again no tension. Et cetera.
Pulp's original is maybe simple, but clever.
this makes me angry
Get your ears checked.
:v
This is probably one of the only FIDLAR songs that I don't like
Listen on .75x speed for doomer energy
I like My Chemical Romance's cover better. 😏😏
Still a good cover tho.
glad u shared that with us
nah this one is better
no
My Chemical Romance! What a disgrace of a band!
i like the original :)))))))
Fidlar is who this song was about. they are voyeurs looking in at garage rock and only seeing "lo-fi! party! beer! drugs!" and at their best they sound like Nobunny/Sneaky Pinks cast offs and at worst Black Lips rejects. this is the epitome of the homogenization of a sub-culture into a fad. it's all so chic and off base i cringe.
ok
r/iamverysmart
this is my favorite fidlar review
Really gay accent.
yeah I totally agree how an accent can have a sexuality.
you fucking idiot
This is disgustingly bad
Kamilla Suurkuusk okay
nobady cares, bitch
