Pulp - This Is Hardcore (live)

Wooo, nice live version.

Pulp got to release this as the first single off This Is Hardcore cause Radiohead released a highly successful sprawling single also known as 'Paranoid Android' the year before in 1997. This didn't do as well as expected.

Could be the fact that frontman Jarvis Cocker is not really a singer than an observant exhibitionist. Could be the issue that the song draws an allegory between his personal demons and all the porn movies he watched in the hotels the band stayed during their European tour.

I love this tune anyway. Great stuff. Lovely and underrated album too.
