Sweet! I found a jukebox in New York years ago that was hooked up to the Internet. You could put just about any song you could think of on. I was tempted to put two hours of Pulp on but had a plane to catch and no spare change.
Hi Fredthe3rd can you tell me where in Wales the pub in Wales has the whole of Different Class, This Is Hardcore and We Love Life on the jukebox please?
I was panicking there. I was about to start guessing random pub names that sound a bit welsh. I didn't get any further than The Leek and The St David. Both wrong as it happens.
A pub near me had "My Legendary Girlfriend" on their jukebox a few years back...and maybe even still does? Haven't been there in a long time. When I did used to go I would always put money in and play it...just for the sake of it!
Here in Australia, I once went to a restaurant which played Common People over the sound system, and they showed the music video on the TV along with it. It was the last thing I expected!
CP and D2K still get moderate airplay these days. Outside of an indie disco or alternative radio setting, any other Pulp song is a bit of a novelty.
If other songs are novelty in the UK, you can imagine how rare it is to here PULP in North America. Heard 'Silvia' playing in The Gap bout 2 years ago.
If you can cope with the smell in Rafferty's in Newcastle it has more or less all the singles since My Legenday Girlfriend. The Percy Arms also has a great jukebox. The Telegraph is ok too. Tut & Shive in Doncaster used to be my personal favourite but I think it's changed now. I used to be an expert on this subject, not so much these days.
No it's been in the last couple of years. I'm a quiz machine junky, and they're almost always placed near the toilets - so I notice such things. I'll take stagnant piss over fag smoke any day though!

Now you mention it, I remember that being on a compilation on the jukebox in the bar at uni. It came on one afternoon at random and I couldn't believe my ears. I had totally forgot about that.
And from a licensee - the smoking ban is the worst thing that has ever hit the pub trade in my lifetime!
I put Wickerman on once, my friends thought I was nuts.
I heard a song other than CP or Disco 2000 in a club last night, it was Babies. I ended up chatting with the DJ and turns out, he's a massive Pulp fan, and I implored him to play Party Hard but apparently it "clears the floor"

Not surprised you heard Babies, that was on the A-list of every indie club night I went to in the late 90s, probably due to it being The Greatest Song Ever Recorded.
Used to play 'Party Hard' & 'Do You Remember The First Time' a lot when I used to DJ. Usually it went down a treat. ALL other DJs played 'Disco 2000' or 'Babies'.
Was very excited to hear Sunrise in Pivni beer bar in York today - then it came on again pretty much less than half an hour later (think there was a jukebox though I wasn't responsible for either)
My nine year old went to a pub with his dad (my ex) a week or so ago and, to the annoyance of his father, put Sorted and Sunrise on the jukebox. That's my boy :)
