Seeing Jarvis remove those knickers from his pocket and wiping his face with them during the TOTP Babies performance was a brilliant moment and very mucky in true British smut style.
My favourite filthy moment was Jarvis singing and that goes in there, etc whilst pointing in different strangely seedy ways on Top Of The Pops... At 7 pm on BBC 1! Only topped by Mos Def, Nate Dogg and Pharoah Monch singing Oh No on same show and somehow getting away with saying shit and nigga alot and somehow getting away without anyone noticing. Prefer the smut of TIH on family TV though. I was watching with my mum. It was excruciating.
Indeed. Nicely summed-up by the guy on acrylicafternoons.com:
Performances in '98 were largely confined to the predictable series of music programmes, TFI, Top Of The Pops, another fantastic Jools Holland and snippets from the wonderful Glastonbury set. At the time, I felt a certain smugness at watching them mime This Is Hardcore on Top of The Pops. How brilliant it was that Pulp could get away with releasing a six and half minute porn-drenched single, thrusting it into the top 20 and then performing it on prime time TV in front of a bunch of teenagers. Subversive or what?
I love that Banksy picture. I think it's probably my favourite. Hasn't it been saved by public vote?
It got attacked during the exhibition in the museum by something that looks a bit like a paintball gun, as did the Mild, Mild West in Stokes Croft. There are always stories going round of Banksy's being painted over by clueless householders or vandalised and philosophical discussions ensue as to whether the original painting was vandalism in the first place and so on, then there are the council-organised street art events that provoke similar exchanges of rantings.

I still vividly remember listening to Mike Read's chart rundown on a Monday morning when he refused to play Relax having read the lyrics while the no. 2 of the week was playing, so it isn't a given that you can pull the wool over the eyes of the BBC meeja types (OK, they didn't have meeja types in 1984). Only trouble was, at the time I was the one that didn't have a clue what his problem was.

I saw something that looked Banksyish in Belsize Village, London I think... It had a big sheet of, chipped at the edges, clear plastic nailed over it, picture of a woman I think.
Everyone forgot "little girl with blue eyes theres a hole in your heart, and one between your legs, your never gonna wander which one he's going to fill"

What's really disturbing is that it was inspired by a picture of his mother.
Is that the ONLY song you can't play round your family?
LOL NO actually... but I definitely wouldn't play that or My Legendary GF...or many many more... I guess I only play my HITS cd to save embarrassment...the 'others' stay on the ipod :)

MLG got on Radio 4 on Thursday night, so it is now officially art, but I wouldn't have said it was near the top of the shuffle anxiety list, This is Hardcore came on once on my iTunes radio oojie in the kitchen when my mum was staying, that was more worrying.
And here's a well-educated(?) American 14-year old.
