It's Friday! It's about three o'clock! It's time to Boogie At Your Desk!
( You what? )
Today you are invited to Boogie At Your Desk to:
Pulp - Razzmatazz
Yesterday I was hunting around for a link to my last BAYD post last year (which listed all the songs), and I was struck by a sudden dreadful omission: we never Boogyed to Pulp!
My introduction to Pulp was, like the rest of the world, Common People and Disco 2000, which are both fantastic songs. But you're all sensible people, you all own Different Class already. (You do, don't you ? I mean, really. "No, I don't like Pulp" will just about do as an excuse at this point, but everyone else should really get on the case.)
I didn't hear Razzmatazz until years later, after Different Class has left the charts and after Pulp had released the semi-intentionally career-destroying This Is Hardcore. I immediately took to its catchy chorus and sneery lyrics (Am I talking too fast, or are you just playing dumb?)
Razzmatazz comes from the earlier Pulp album Intro - The Gift Recordings which has since become probably my favourite Pulp CD. It's got your popstyle dancealongs like Razzmatazz and Babies, but it's also got weird urban soundscapes like Sheffield Sex City.
In other news, has anyone heard anything of the newly-relaunched "Jarvis", Mr Cocker's comeback persona ? Is it any cop ?
