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.
@@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.
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.
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 ;-)
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
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.
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!
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 😎
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🙂
I uttered these exact words to my friends at a festival around ~2010 when I was the only one interested in seeing Pulp play live after a very long while. I won and I fell in love with Jarvis, again.
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...
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!

'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.

Jarvis Cocker:
100% talent
100% looks
10000% magic hands
Jarvis is definitely the most unconventionally beautiful man to ever.
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.
💯
I'm a straight man and I appreciate him.
He’s soooooo handsome ❤️❤️
Jarvis made the idea we could all be something. Then we woke up!
RIP Steve Mackey (November 10, 1966 - March 2, 2023), aged 56
You will be remembered as a legend.
Jarvis's dancing and finger pointing in this video is utterly brilliant.
One might say it's...."on point!"
was there actually. And 25 years later I finally write about it all stevepafford.com/differentclass25/
Love it- Ultimately we use our minds 👏🏽👍🏽😁💃🏻
Yes it is
The fuck. I'm barely able to put this video together lol I'm Canadian
this song is so underrated
My three musketeers of the era, PULP, BLUR, SUEDE
Definitely! My dad is a fan of all three since the 90s and in 2022 i was lucky enough to see Suede with him
Looking back, Pulp were the best band of this era. Never realised it at the time.
Caught in the oasis wave myself mate , only just realised pulp/jarvis puts them well in the shade 😎
@Kieran Regan Suede were a great band but I love Pulp's working class view of life.
I actually did but, as an italian, I was the only Pulp fan in my company...
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.
Mainics Blur Oasis and many more. There was no best. We were gifted.
In case anyone was wondering, the song played at the start is 'Sorted out for E's and Whizz', another great song by Pulp
Double a side with this song. Hence the controversial cover art of the single
@@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.
I liked that bizarre album Scott Walker produced
By far the best band of the Britpop scene for me. The intelligent and artful antidote to the laddishness of the era. ❤️✌🏼
100%
Suede was with them there too
All the britpop bands were great
All the bands were great
“Blur or Oasis”
PULP
The Britpop equivalent to:
Q- The Beatles or The Stones?
A- The Kinks
SQUEEZE, IRON MAIDEN, MANICS, THE POLICE, EURYTHMICS.
suede
Pulp > Blur > Oasis
Oasis > Pulp > Blur
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.
How many ways do I adore Jarvis? Each and every way, even now he's still so charismatic.
Oasis or Blur? Pulp is the correct answer.
Revenge of the nerds. Brilliant opener to a great album, 'Different Class'.
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 ;-)
Listen to the Kinks. Ray Davies was a Genius.
Everyone reads the lyrics if they're there!😁
The most realist song ever
This song rings true today more than ever.
I miss the 90's :(
Genuinely surprised this song has never been used in an X Men movie
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
Still rings true in 2022!!!
Well, yes, but it does nick the verse from “The Greatest Love of All” for its chorus, which is always rather distracting…
@@paulgerard410Does it??
"IT'S GOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!! IT'S GOOOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!!!!" Gets me every time
So underrated.
Lyrical genius.
Pulp and Suede, my favorites ❤🇨🇱
No one points a finger like Jarvis Cocker.
Except Scott Walker..
Ashley Rae Sebastian Who
Ashley Rae Sebastian hes rlly inspired by scott walker and they have even worked together. love it.
Sir Jarvis is the ultimate master of the hand jive action sequence.
At the end of common people at the 1995 Glastonbury... What a point...
Jarvis admitted to being drunk when they made this video. The first appearance of Darren Spooner
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.
I’m curious, what did you mean by that?
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.
Same here!
PULP is the best Britpop band period.
I love how they just start playing straight ahead Bond music during the chorus
I was 15 years old by the time this song came out and it meant the world to me. We shall prevail!
i discovered Pulp in my record store coz i thought the cover for This Is Hardcore looked awesome. been hooked ever since. !viva Pulp!
Jarvis Cocker has the awsomeness personality of UK!!
Very underated band
One of the best bands before britpop, during , and after.
OH MY GOD YES YES YES! HE'D MAKE SUCH A SASSY DOCTOR ITS PERFECT
This is the ultimate Mods vs Rockers anthem...and the Mods always win, as they should.
Pulp and Placebo were as intelligently and spiritually definitive for me as The Matrix and Gattaca were for the mid-late 90s.
Different Classes is timeless !
What a band, what a record time machine please
The best opening
Just kepp on moving💃
Underrated legends!
Masterpiece
I don't really miss the way things were back then tbh
class act, what band they were what the 90s was all about, you hear one of there songs, and boom flash back to the 90s, peace out people
First band I saw at 15 at q club Birmingham
Got to be my second favorite Pulp songs, such a criminally underrated song.
Pulp on the goblet of fire 🔥
Wish RUclips had a love button this would be the top of the list
Gawd how good this band is.. Jarvis and the band.... perfection.. talent.. and LOTS of fun !!! 😎
This is lyrical genius
Rest in peace Steve Mackey
It´s GOOOOOD!!!
Oh my fucking god i love pulp
Very thick. Cracked me up when I first heard it. So so cool.
Jarvis kicks ass! 2023 IOW Festival - wow!
This is the rise of the geeks anthem. Growing up in the 90's it makes perfect sense.. A writer ahead of his time.
Without watching the video, it sounds like poor vs rich, rather than geeks vs society
@@rashotcake6945 Very rarely are the poor people who "learn too much at school". This song is for the outcast
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 great to convince the geeks that they're in control. They're so eager! All that productivity yield.....
@@rashotcake6945 It's the Communist Manifesto.
It's goooooooddd it's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!! so happy to see them again in Santiago Chile this year!!!
Ahhh remeber in the 90s when you heard this song and thought you could stand up to the rest!
Hard fast driving beat from beginning to the end.good job y'all.
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 😎
best video ever
one of my best and fav albums from the 90s...... love it
The chorus is fantastic
Most underrated 90s band ever
One of my Pulp favourites, Jarvis was peak sexy here.
BiggsyBiggs indeed
Best pulp song x
They were the days...💕
I fucking loved the 90's this was played loud in my car on the way to school every day
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🙂
I loved this, when I was a kid. 😂😂✊😂
Remember when we fought over Blur and Oasis? It was Pulp all along.
I uttered these exact words to my friends at a festival around ~2010 when I was the only one interested in seeing Pulp play live after a very long while. I won and I fell in love with Jarvis, again.
Proud to come from sheffield😅
A masterpiece
Iiiiits goooood
This is the best song
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.

If you think he's bowie-esque and seductive, may I suggest Suede as well?
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!
0:34 Ty
Jarvis Cocker looks like evil Spider-Man from Spider-Man 3....
fun fact: he was immobilized temporarily in 1985 from falling out a window doing a spider man impression, for the purpose of attempting to impress a girl
I thought it was emo peter
no Emo Peter looks like Jarvis :P
No one realised it at the time but Pulp were the best band of the Britpop era.
THANK YOUUUU, finally the full-length version!

Some straywberrie thoughts... About Valentine day
My favourite song by Pulp. Cracking piece of work.
One of my favourite videos of all time. 90s Friday night out right there.
the album sent me mad and I never came down .
Bump for new gigs !
Jarvis’s acting in this is spot on tbh
Dude dancing at 1:07 is FEELING IT!
Picked up the original 95' print CD for Different Class in pristine condition at a second hand record sale for $4.50. Best. Deal. Ever.
1:43 is that Jackie who used to be Zammo’s girlfriend in Grange Hill?
Who is Still listening to pulp during this 2020 corona virus pandemic 🤷🥳
I actually discovered them because of the pandemic
That melody sounds like that Don't Hug I'm scared song 1:21
Amo a pulp
