More than anything this reminds me of the night at Festival Hall when Pulp didn't actually play the song. They played all their great songs and of course we were expecting this one to come on. But no..it didn't happen. At the time we would play Disco 2000 religiously every night at the Lizard Lounge. Apart from Common people it was probably their most popular song. But they didn't play it. Each time the show comes up in conversations we talk about that rather than the gig itself.
Still we played it a lot at the Lizard. It was a song I actually danced a lot to and I wasn't one to dance much preferring to entertain punters from behind the decks.
I also loved the style of the film clips. They were probably the coolest of all the Britpop bands style wise and certainly had the look down. We had a Pulp poster for Different Class in the Lizard hallway. Rock mags like Select would give away a bunch of posters that we used to decorate the club walls.
I've seen Jarvis Cocker 3 times now and I still haven't heard that song live.
