Music video by Pulp performing Babies. (C) 1993 Universal Island Records Ltd. A Universal Music Company.
Best line in a song " I know you won't beleive it's true I went with her because she looks like you" pure gold.
"My God".....
Like my sister
Hey just like cornerstone by arctic monkeys
I couldnt agreed more
Yes 1 of the best lines.
How many masterpieces can one band have
all of them
For real
An amazing back catalogue 🎉
This surely their Mona Lisa !
Jarvis Cocker: The most charismatic man of the 90's.
Look, he's the only one who can can had no shirt inside a suit jacket without looking stupid!
David Bowie says you talk shit.
No xt
He has Ron Mael from Sparks to thank for that.
Saw Pulp at a pub called The Duchess & there were only 7 of us there. Jarvis came off the stage and sung & danced in the middle of us. Pissing about with the mic in the pocket of his tight fitting crinoline trousers. Rude boy.
@@JohnCox-ut3cv Its almost a crime that it took them a good decade and a bit before they got any bigger than a local pub band. I was staggered to have learned they formed in 78 (or therabouts). Then again I remember in the 90s thinking "Woah Jarvis looks great for an old dude". He was 32 haha. Oh to be so young again as to think 30 was old lol.
Surprised no-one is commenting on how amazing the bass is in this song. I really have a soft spot for the 90's highly tuned, Peter Hook sound.
Aren't most people watching on their computers and getting a pretty muddy earful? And in the 90s wasn't Peter Hook mostly cashing cheques and tending his investments online from a great gaudy house on the shores of Lake Geneva or Lake Como?
But yeah, I'm with ya.
Absolutely brilliant
I just came to this because I love the bass part and Steve Mackey has just passed. 4yo comment but still relevant today.
RIP Steve Mackey
@@strudders2112 what the hell, this one's been in my head all day so I just sat down to finally listen and while appreciating the bass specifically only found out he passed this moment, from this comment.
Steve Mackey (1966-2023) passed today.
Thursday 2 March 2023
Common people is their signature song, but this is my personal favourite to be honest.
This or Do You Remember the First Time. That guitar riff. Can't decide.
X2
'Do You Remember The First Time?' catched me.
Same
Common People isn't in the same league - sorry, fanboys and girls.
I love the bass lines of Steve ❤️
Rest in peace 😢
My brother stopped his car, once, in Sheffield, to let a pedestrian cross. It was Jarvis Cocker, wearing fluffy slippers and a sassy dressing gown. A brilliant, one-off original!
Aye, he liked antique dressing gowns.
Nah, they were Hush Puppies
He's fucking crazy... But awesome 😁😁😁💗💗💗💗xxxxxxx
Are you sure it wasn't Purves Grundy from Blouse?
Bollox
''I went with her cause she looks like you'' - bloody genius!
Damn
From atop her great fancy plinth somewhere, a towering gorgeous statue of Ideal Romantic Love scowls in Jarvis Cocker's direction for outing one of her dirtiest little secrets.
I love this line. When you're trying to explain yourself and you realize, as the words are coming out, how creepy they make you sound
MY GOD!
I tried that line... Results could've been better...
Jesus Christ and all the saints, he is so beautiful, isn't he? What a gift to the world. Thank you Jarvis Cocker
i love jarvis Not as much as Jesus tho
I'm a straight guy and i fully agree.
I feel like crying a little. This is such a sweet song. It reminds me of my teen years. Music was everything to me. It was my whole world.
same with me I was 12 when I first heard it.
One of the best pop songs ever heard. Masterpiece.
Bryan Ferry, probably: "Ever? When you have all mine to survey?"
"But yeah, ok, if by 'best' you mean quite solidly all right."
For me it sounds kind of Post Punk/New Wave like New Order in the 80s ?? Idk
This is what Alex Turner thought he was doing in the Cornerstone video.
Underrated comment
Highly underrated
Omg yes yes yes yes
LMAOOOO
😂😂😂
RIP Steve Mackey (November 10, 1966 - March 2, 2023), aged 56
You will be remembered as a legend.
Sorry about the bass player. :(
I didn't know. A stylish legend.
Jarvis has such an amazing talent for telling stories
Yup, he is a great lyricist, storyteller.
The 90s were the best, and Pulp was the epitome of outstanding 90s music.
This is British pop at its finest ,so bittersweet full of drama longing and God when it hits the chorus the hairs on the arm stand.
Genius .
You know how many “Jarvis spotting” stories I’ve read? A lot. They can’t all be true. I doubt most of them. If they’re true, this guy wanders around England non-stop, aimlessly “bumping into” the entire country while wearing the most interesting clothes and shoes ever manufactured
wildmercuryfilms honestly, I would expect nothing less from him. The Bill Murray of the UK..
I met him in an airport in 2016 we were on the same flight flying berlin to manchester... i thought it couldnt be him flying easy jet... but i mentioned it to my sister who i was traveling with and the stranger in front of us turned around and said it is him his suitcase has his initials! anyway in the later struck up a conversation with JC he was incredibly nice and gracious and i have always been a huge fan.. we talked about what we were reading... he was wearing a black corduroy suit. one of the most surreal moments of my life.
I met Jarvis in Sainsbury's the other day and he put on a performance for me and my mates. I'll never forget it.
I’ve just bumped into him in my local Asda and he was buying the same bacon as me! (Own brand thick cut unsmoked).
I helped him move a piano
I'm obsessed by this song: it reminds me all the girls I loved in my life.
It's a sensual masterpiece: no other British artist in the 90s has produced a wonderful product like that.
Kid named David:
❤😂same here nostalgia
it reminds me of all my sisters mates i "got it on" to
Brilliant
She died at the age of 45 and I never told her how much I loved her.
How can someone be that fucking cool
+i'mfeelingsupersonic By not trying to be cool. No studied beards, no self-conscious clothing, no attempt to fit in and to be something.
By in no way trying to be, or thinking he's cool
I kinda know him, he's such a cool guy.
+i'mfeelingsupersonic The Doctor is always that cool.
+i'mfeelingsupersonic its easy....he copied me
The many different, heartbreaking, riffs in this are like a velvet purse - Babies is high romantic seediness. It's exquisite. There won't quite be a Pulp again as it requires first hand, bewildered, knowledge of supermarkets that are all decorated in various shades of brown, of environments where Rita Sue and Bob Too is a sympathetic contemporary, of the descent of the north amongst the chattering classes, of the culturelessness of Thatcherism and, yes, even of free university tuition that meant more of the intelligentsia were of very different backgrounds (and were cooler because lack of money didn't obsess them) . No more a taste of honey unless it's a euphemism.
Love this Paul.
Well said Paul, and RIP Steve!
Masterpiece. Thank pulp
If you're of a certain age and background this'll resonate and mean much more than a nice tune.
RIP Steve Mackey, the sound of his bass in this song is amazing 😞
Jarvis cocker,..one of the most under appreciated genius's in the business,...he's just,...f'kin awesome,..love the way he's so grounded and didn't disappear up his own arse,..and this is prolly pulps best ever song...
so true still loving this in 2015
Oh god yes.
For real, I think the man is a proper GENIUS!!!
respect BECCA,..!!!! X
I know right! Im gonna admit, I haven't known of Pulp for long, actually only like, 5 days now, but Jarvis just seens so...so WEIRD. And i fuckin love it.
Remember during Britpop everyone was picking a side between Oasis and Blur.
Seems ridiculous as Pulp were delivering stuff like this that was on another level.
The "Different Class" album was light years ahead of anything Blur and Oasis put out.
Whoa, hold it right there. While "Different Class" is an outstanding album, it wasn´t ahead of anything, really. In terms of experimental playfulness and quality in delivering sound experience it is nowhere near Blur´s "13" album. And again, I love Pulp and I think "Different Class" is possibly their best album and one of my favourite album of the 90´s. But keep it real, please.
@@elwray3506 The album that went up against Different class would have been The Great Escape not 13 as that came out in 1999 4 year after Different class and by then Brit Pop had passed (1993 -97)
I Never understood that Blur vs Oasis Thing. I was always with Pulp! ❤️
Yeah, their 4 good songs.
@@royfr8136 easy tiger
He is so young and so gorgeous in this video. I would let him give me children every day of the week.
He’s in his 50s
Dude can you actually read??? She said IN THIS VIDEO. Of course he is now older than 50. omg
calm down there sally
I'm in Love girl
@crowly616 I'm DEAD 😂
Jarvis is an amazing mix. He has the swagger of Mick Jagger, the charisma of Freddie Mercury, the edgy cynical front of the Gallaghers, a bit of Bowie and the looks of Jim Morrison. Amazing guy. Why the hell weren't Pulp bigger than Oasis?????
Because people are stupid?
Because Oasis were a stadium rock band. Pulp are great but they didn't have the sound to sell out stadiums around the world.
Oasis' music touched the common working class British man more than Pulp. It's that's simple really
He’s nothing of the above and at best a imitation of them.
He mooned at mj at the brits and they finished him . Shame
PULP • babies
Well, it happened years ago
When you lived on Stanhope Road
We listened to your sister
When she came home from school
'Cause she was two years older
And she had boys in her room
I listened outside, I heard her
Alright
Well, that was all right for a while
But soon I wanted more
I wanna see as well as hear and so I
I hid inside her wardrobe
As she came home 'round four
And she was with some kid called David
Oh, from the garage up the road
I listened outside, I heard her
Alright
Oh, I wanna take you home
I wanna give you children
And you might be my girlfriend
A-yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
When I saw you next day
I really couldn't tell
'Cause you might go and tell your mother
And so you went with Neve
Oh yeah, and Neve was coming on
And I thought I heard you laughing
When his mum and dad were gone
I listened outside, I heard you
Alright
Oh, I wanna take you home
I wanna give you children
And you might be my girlfriend
A-yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
Oh well, I guess
It couldn't last too long
I came home one day
And all her things were gone
I fell asleep inside
I never heard her come
Oh, and I opened up the wardrobe
And I had to get it on, yeah
Oh, listen
Oh, we were on the bed when you came home
I heard you stop outside the door
I know you won't believe it's true
I only went with her 'cause she looks like you
My God!
Oh, I wanna take you home
I wanna give you children
And you might be my girlfriend
A-yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh yeah
Isn't it just great to see someone having fun and not being too serious, yet the truth is he is amazing
one of those rare songs that can fill you with different emotions - for me it's nostalgia , sadness and regret - you'd think that anything that made you sad - you'd want to avoid - aahh the beauty and magic of music .. J.C. what a fuckin legend
This is very well put. I feel much the same whenever I play this one.
Defo nostalgia
Why have I never heard of Pulp before? This band is amazing (I'm a Yank - maybe they didn't get much airplay here in the US at the time). Great band, in the mold of New Order, Cure, Smiths, etc.
This is what makes TH-cam great.
the EP of this song has a track called "seconds" on it, if you haven't come across that yet it's crushingly amazing
They were one of the mainstays of 'Britpop'. So many great tunes to choose from. 'Common People', 'Misshapes', 'Do you remember the First Time', 'Disco 2000', 'This is Hardcore'.
They are popular in the US all their gigs get sold and everyone sings to their songs.
I love Pulp. Jarvis became an absolute legend when he interrupted Michael Jackson's Earth Song during the Brit awards '96? claiming it was blasphemous. I may not believe in a God anyway, but still, Jarvis became an absolute hero to me at that moment.
Despite being massive in the UK, Pulp only ever had one record in the US Billboard chart - and it reached no.114!
R.I.P Steve Mackay thank you very much for all
Of the memories
If you've got this song in your life, your life is good. Long live pulp and their poptastic genius.
One of the best bands and songs of the 90's
This is storytelling from so much more than the first person. No one can even get near to touching the sides like Pulp does it's sides.
90's, I miss you.
Rosi gurad0
Me too
yeah i'm so sicken missing too
It's all gone wrong since.
The 90's still live in my heart.
I'll never get tired of watching this guy dancing........amazing!!!
Someone once said it's like seeing someone trying to put up a deckchair in the wind 😊
Laura muñoz
I'll never get tired of listening this guy singing........amazing!!!

Jarvis Cocker is the coolest guy who ever lived!
My mancrush.
He shook my hand at Glastonbury festival, love Pulp seen three times and he is a proper front man, so engaging and had the audience in the palm of his hand. Superstar.
Honestly I saw them live the first time two weeks ago he told me he adore my photography top bloke 🖤
This song is one of the reasons why Britain is called “Great”.
Probably the best Pulp song of all time....... and that's not an easy call to make
Pencil skirt
Common people
I spy
Nah mate. Lipgloss.
agreed
Dear mother of god, this is a MASTERPIECE
Part of the masterpiece is now in heaven.
RIP Steve Mackey. Thanks for the music.
In the 90s American music was good but British music was amazing. Both had a strong influence on each other but we nailed it.
100%
Jarvis Cocker the original hipster, before hipster was a thing...he's so swag a licious, but what a great story teller. Love the way he delivers a line...
At that time the word hipster meant a person who was ahead of fashion. The look of the hipster came from fine art students in the UK, while the actual hipsters were dressing in 80s fashion at the time.
Rest in Paradise Steve Mackey 🖤
Alex turner didn't wanted to be one of the strokes... He wanted to be this guy
But this guy voice same with Strokes, Alex voice not good
@@as-zm8pt You wat riiite
ahha bold but true!!!!!! SHEFF SHEFF SHEFF
a s alex’s voice not good??wtf
@@as-zm8pt yeah mabye your voice is good 😂
Aged like a fine wine. What a cracking track.
Best frontman in the entire 90's 'Britpop' era. Wish I had 10% of his dance-moves.
What about Brett Anderson?
What about Damon Albarn?
Damon Albarn was a very talented bell end, but I formed that opinion when he was rude to Jonathan Woss who is also a bit of a bellend so there may be bellend saturation skewing the data.
Another vote for Brett. Though I do like Jarvis and he was cool, I definitely prefer Brett's voice and music.
Richard Ashcroft had an amazing voice... don't know if he's the best frontman though
I love the crazy way he dances
1987 Walthamstow Charity shop. Pennies purchased a Purple wide lapel jacket, massively collared horribly tight shirt. Brown striped, tight thighs but flared strides. Big fat fake sideburns. Grabbed my mate’s Tarzan wig off him to finish it off. Walking into the Rose and Crown and drinkers were like WTF?!! What is that. No irony or trend just a laugh.
This video lifts my spirits more than anything I can think of. The visuals and interactions. The clever beautiful piercing synth, clever bridges and Rhythms. Soooooooo good.
Love u RoRo.
Truly do. xx 🧑🎤
This lives rent free in my mind
Damn this song is soooo good
Forget Common People. This is their best tune.
Those were the days 🫠
I was young and so cool back then .
Now I'm ancient, in my 40's and fatter
Groan
You're still cool mate. You have good taste in music.
Love how pulp songs always tell a story
The tenth Doctor during his heroin phase.
Rob Fraser 12 months late but HOLY SHIT YOURE SO RIGHT. It’s like baby Tenant
no way you guys
ooohhhmmmyygoodododd
Jarvis would make an amazing Doctor.
The Ninth Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor, the protagonist of the BBC science fiction ... At the end of life, the Doctor can regenerate his body, but in doing so gains a new ... him to regenerate and the Tenth Doctor (David Tennant) takes his place. ... Eccleston felt that Rose is a "heroine" who "teaches [the Doctor]
This is what all the modern hipster people of today wish they were
we can try
..but, ultimately, they not from Sheffield and they just not, sadly, truly, just not Jarvis...
No tattoos either.
So accurate. Unfortunately they lack the talent and originality. Pretentiousness galore...
Western spot on
The thing about Pulp was their ability to tell a story...this one is up there with Common People in my book.
Without a doubt one of my favorite songs to come out of the 90s.
What a blast from the past.. Pulp were one of the coolest bands ever. Listen if you can To the synth in the back ground. It's amazing. Jarvis is like a cross between a lizard and elvis,
BRILLIANT. If i were King you would be offered a knighthood for that comment
"Jarvis is like a cross between a lizard and elvis" Haha, exactly!
Sorted out for es and whizz. Awesome synth too
❤Pulp took a long time to emerge from relative obscurity, to stardom and popular acclaim.They thoroughly deserve their status now with their catchy times about working class life in Britain, so cool, so Narley 😊
RIP Steve Mackey
I have to pause this at 41 seconds... while I gather my thoughts... It hurts my heart to see and hear this wonderful song.... I will press play in a moment xxx I love this soooo much x
Aww that’s sweet
RIP Steve Mackey - legend
The best Pulp song ever - never fails to sends shivers down my spine....
He is like a flamboyant dylan moran, I think thats why this band is so awesome to me, also his expressions and constant 60's flashbacks and disco references.
+Jacqueline Woods The brits have it right
+Jacqueline Woods OMG i WAS ABOUT TO TYPE THAT
Yes oh my gosh, so true
I always thought he looked like Dylan Moran.
or Dylan Moran looks bit like Jarvis Cocker,still they are both cool.
This is what genius sounds like. A creative mind and the best Sheffield has to offer the world.
The older I get the more convinced I am that Pulp were the best band of the '90s.
Love his charisma!
For all their enthusiastic and passionate performances, the keyboard player, in the background, stands out the most!
For me, at least.
For me, her and Jarvis make this video, but she dominates it.
I wonder if Jarvis understands this, and how she does it.
Let me guess: hetero male?
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Jarvis' dancing...
That, my friends, is how you do it!
jarvis voice is so cooldown and chill, love it.
Underrated band by many. One of the best for me.
oh hey, i'm pretty sure this video just broke 10 million views, because it was 9 something last i checked. glad people are still listening to this epic

Theo Trevino the human subtitle
I have a hard time hearing the lyrics when I listen to music so I love to read them while I listen to a song. This genuinely helps me. So thanks.
Jarvis Cocker is the only man that manages to put on a blazer without nothing under it and still look ok, like there is nothing wrong with that
Still and always will be the BEST Pulp song EVER
cocker wrote the deepest songs of his generation
British treasure. SOOO underated
some people are just born to entertain....
R.I.P Steve mackey 🎸🙏
This song is so great! I just love it. Love it for years.
This makes me feel so... nostalgic !!! Pulp lives for ever!!
Perfect in every way. Pure perfection.
This is an excellent track
Genius. My favourite pulp song
love the guitar work in this
Pulp's finest moment, and surely one of the greatest singles of all time. I've been listening to it for years and years and I still get the same buzz every time I hear it. Great video too. Miles better then the remake.
RIP Steve 🙏😪🖤
Another absolute gem of a song. Jarvis's voice is iconic.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris.
Punchline still makes me smile 😊
I think we can all conclude from this video that music used to be more interesting and stimulating and regardless of your age group/generation this will always be a banger
R.I.P. Steve
One of the best beginning of a song
It's a very, very elegant working of a mid-century idiom. Bacharach or Simon & Garfunkle would have been proud to write this. And, of course, it would be rude to say to our American cousins (who have gifted us the finest popular music) "this is how it's done" because they already know.
But Christ, it really is how it's done.

I'll never forget what this fella did to mick Jackson at the brit award,, legendary.
RIP steve Mackey can’t believe it
Jarvis Cocker cool outfit great voice love his dancing moves
90's referencing the 70's. Fuck I'm old.
When did you realise it was too late?
TommyTwobats
37
They formed in the late 70s it would be odd if they didn't!
I hear ya! It's not just me that thinks the music was better pre-millennium is it?
No!!!
