Great song, but one that didn't age so gracefully IMO ... partly because Jarvis wrote much better pervy illicit affair songs later on (e.g. I Spy, Seductive B****)

No, Acrylic Afternoons is the best because he didn't outcreep himself - you can imagine that stuff happening everyday, everywhere.

that image isn't working for me.

yeah, AA beats I Spy for me - I've never been sold on the class war stuff in the latter - AA a much stranger piece of work, with the net curtain/eiderdown world around him, lying under the table - it's like the affair's super-sexual yet taking place in childhood memoryland.

It's like the This Is Hardcore cover, but green.

Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 15:20 (twelve years ago) link

hahahaha. Sure!

This is true, the imagery in AA is great, but I Spy is a better song. The keyboard hook in AA has always annoyed me a bit and the chorus is somewhat drab, the magic is nearly 100% in the lyrics and Jarvis' delivery. I Spy is a much richer song (the strings, the way it builds as it goes along), and I've always loved Evil Conniving Jarvis (so says the guy who loves "Freaks").

i see - for me the chorus of AA is killer - the way the melody unwinds & almost overstretches through that odd little vision of all the children's mothers finishing with lovers. I guess i can see I Spy is the stronger song in almost all regards - ambition, arrangement (especially), doing a lot of big things at once with the lyrics (it's prob his ultimate sex, class, resentment, ambivalent self-dramatisation moment) - and I did vote for it, but out of admiration rather than current love.

I really don't know Pulp lyrics very well, it turns out.

Totally stuck. First Man in Space?

Missed most of this day two roll-out due to work, and working again later, but here for the fun right now. Bring it on!

There we go, Daavid! I took a brief break for lunch and was about to come back and drop some more clues. I should apologize - my first image was an opposum (a small animal that -might- only come out at night) but then my second image was a lizard, which is not an animal, SCIENCE FAIL. :(

Wait, lizard is not an animal?

daavid, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:37 (twelve years ago) link

isn't it a reptile? maybe I was right all along. I'm stupid with those things - my head only had room for pop culture trivia.

Reptiles are animals, no?

daavid, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:39 (twelve years ago) link

wasn't that second image a tree frog, which is an amphibian?

BUNCHA NITPICKERS

yes, there are virtually no lyrics in the song that wouldn't have led to an immediate giveaway. I tried!

A little shocked this placed so high tbh!

Interesting, or not, to note that Pulp only played Help The Aged once this summer, in Athens.

Upt0eleven, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link

Seductive Barry?

Y Kant Lou Reed (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:44 (twelve years ago) link

"SEDUCTIVE BARRY"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to get really excited, like my ESP evangelizing had made ppl suddenly fall madly in love with that song

You should've worked a bit harder the week the balloting was open! Or did you need to? We'll find out!

Is it an "Underwear" reference?

Mark G, Tuesday, 1 November 2011 16:47 (twelve years ago) link

He's coming up the stairs.. isn't he? Another song with few pictures to choose from imo!

but the whole point was to just visualize everyone voting "Seductive Barry", like having a vision board

(I suspect the guy in Underwear wouldn't be bringing her breakfast.. but I have to throw you guys off the scent SOMEWHAT)

"The whole message board voted in unison at 4:13 AM.."

Well, if she's getting breakfast, she's not going anywhere just yet.

Funnily enough - I have that purse!
