....and make a music video for the Pet Shop Boys ?
I listened to this podcast from a few years ago today, and in it Neil says he felt slightly threatened by Pulp at the time and describes Common People as a bit of a Pet Shop Boys song...
Quite funny because there's that ancient 1986 or so interview where Jarvis mentions that PSB have just had a big hit with Suburbia and they have a newie called Nights Of Suburbia, although he is positive about PSB.
He mentions Disco 2000 as well. I'm guessing he's said so elsewhere then. Would be great if he (or they) were to do something with Jarv. Perhaps a Suburbia / Nites Of Suburbia mash-up.
Ok, that will not happen.

Minor criticism- I never saw Sheffield in the 90s so I could be mistaken, but am I wrong for thinking there's not enough smoking and too much working out in this video to make it look authentic? Everyone is way too fit for '92.
