I have almost the same taste as yours: Wast your time is probably the one with memories because the road he's driving on is the one we used to travel by bus with my wife, round hackney. So that's special.

Disco 2000 is also great, it was so different from the other videos there used to be on tv, when, remember, we watched videos on tv...

This is hardcore video is a piece of art... not much more to say about it

Actually, I'm only asking because I found a stash of Pulp videos on my virgin media box .  

DYRTFT is excellent but I suffer from motion sickness and always feel a bit quesy afterwards

I like DYRTFT a little more these days as I actually know a chap who was in it! He told me that Jarvis got together with this chap's ladyfriend. As some sort of recompense, he got to be in the video. He's the chap rolling off the car bonnet towards the start!

Something Changed and Sorted... The vision, the magnitude, the endless joyous invention. Bliss.

This is Hardcore. Simply one of the most beautiful videos I've ever seen.
I just realised I either havent seen or dont remember seeing some of the videos mentioned, Something Changed and Sorted...you tube brings me nothing.

No...we established where I lived already...Canada. They do both start with C though.

I thought you might have internet search restrictions. What do you get when you type in the song titles on youtube? A page full of different versions of both songs comes up for me

I knew what you meant..just messing. I get lots of concert footage, tv spots and covers. Are there official videos for those two songs? Im trying to think of all the videos I have seen, I know Canada didnt always get videos released or played. Or most likely Im just crap at youtube searches.

This is hardcore (just brilliant and so beautiful) Don't let him waste your time (fantastic idea) and Further complications (makes a bad song(musically) sounds good).

'Babies' original is a favourite. I like how the story is interspersed with clips of the band from the setting of the story in the tower block to the end.

There's something familiar and comforting I suppose about the decor in the houses in Pulp videos. The orange swirly wallpaper in Razzmatazz video (shot in France (?) were all the scenes shot in France?), the hanging baskets in the orginal Babies and the clutter in what I think is the kitchen - just a quick clip near the start, the decor in the Disco 2000 video (colours of the walls, carpets, duvet, lampshades). So I suppose that makes Babies, Disco 2000 and Razzmatazzz some of my favourite vids but I have to agree with those of you mentioning Waste Your Time. I still look that one up every now and again when I want a laugh. Think it's great. Love when the car opens out and the disco ball comes down or when they go to change the tyre! Lipgloss, DYRTFT, Mis-Shapes, Common People - all quite good. Pulp were always visually appealing & interesting

Ian, what is it about "Party Hard" that you like?  I'm completely baffled by that one...

I agree with everyone else who thinks that This is Harcore is their best video, but can't say it's my personal favorite since it's post-Senior...maybe Lipgloss?  I love the setting and look of that video, and I think everyone looks fantastic.

I thought the performance shots for Razzmatazz were filmed in a strip club in Paris, but of course found the accurate info on Pulp Wiki:

Lipgloss: An amazing video; wasn't it shot in the Dreamspace installation, that - caught in extreme conditions - went on to suffer a tragic end? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7856121.stm

The TIH video was the perfect Pulp video for me, and DYRTFT still makes me dizzy. But, seriously, I once told a girl that I was "splashing out on a cab to impress her" and she GOT IT... that was special, so very special indeed...

(I wonder where she is today)

I haven't seen all of them yet but This Is Hardcore blew me away. Such a shame it wasn't a bigger hit at the time, everyone should see this piece of art.
