Jim ScampoliHOST
We're
Mike SteeleHOST
listening to Common People by fucking Shatner and Ben Folds and like...
Mike SteeleHOST
Ben Folds is like doing the singing version while Shatner did the talking version.
Mike SteeleHOST
They're completely different times.
LukeHOST
Oh.
JohnHOST
"I was gonna send you, uh, his version of Common People.
JohnHOST
I will endeavor to keep up to date with the podcast.
JohnHOST
Here it is anyway-
LukeHOST
I'll dub it over now.
William ShatnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
She told me that her dad was loaded.
William ShatnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I said, "In that case, I'll have a rum and Coca-Cola." She said, "Fine." And in 30 seconds time, she said, "I wanna live like common people.
William ShatnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I wanna do whatever common people do.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
And it might be because any other song that did that to me, I'll have since overly played it to death, but I would never obviously really go, I'm going to listen to Nessun Dorma by Pavarotti.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
So, for instance, you know when people listen to Radio X or something and they'll play Common People and you think, who's still getting anything out of this? Yeah.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
Do you know what I mean? You've just heard it too many times.
Josh WiddicombeHOST
But Nessun Dorma, for some reason, it still transports me more than any other piece of music.
Sam SlightHOST
is.
Sam SlightHOST
I mean, I think there's an argument to be made, you know, for whatever you might think about, you know, kind of anything from Britpop, be it, you know, Common People or, you know, Don't Look Back in Anger or anything that came from grunge, obviously, you know, any of Nirvana's kind of myriad hits.
Sam SlightHOST
I think there is a very strong case that it's actually...
Sam SlightHOST
I think this person is right for the third time in their family when they say that actually it could be wanderlust when he's got a lust for wandering and he'll lust where he wanders.
Tim AndrewsHOST
He did an album with Joe Jackson on it.
Tim AndrewsHOST
They did a cover of the Pulp song Common People.
Tim AndrewsHOST
That was really good.
Tim AndrewsHOST
And there's a song he did with Amy Mann and Ben Folds.
Scott TailfordHOST
The first one from Leroy McAwesome, who says, "Gun to your head, which song could you nail without the words in front of you at karaoke?"
Josh BrownHOST
[laughs] Um, Common People by Pulp.
Josh BrownHOST
Common People by Pulp.
Scott TailfordHOST
Oh, that's a pull.
Josh BrownHOST
I could do that.
Josh BrownHOST
I like to think I've got a bit of Jarvis Cocker in me.
Josh BrownHOST
I have done it at karaoke before.
Josh BrownHOST
Common People by Pulp.
Joe SparrowHOST
So I wonder if there's actually some things that will be forever unknowable, that will only exist in human brains, and people won't wanna talk about it j- just because they don't wanna, uh, just stop it from working.
Joe SparrowHOST
Anyway, um, talking about musical genius, Stu, uh, and finally, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, Mr. Tambourine Man, Common People by Pulp, and now the Ace of Spades.
Joe SparrowHOST
Uh, what links those four iconic tracks?
Stuart DredgeHOST
This is like an Only Connect question from the quiz show.
Joe SparrowHOST
Wow.
Stuart DredgeHOST
So he, he, I mean, his...
Stuart DredgeHOST
The, the first three of those were from his albums from, well, first two back in the day, and then recently he did one with Common People.
Stuart DredgeHOST
And now he's basically, he's, he's, he's formed a metal band.

Eric Von HaesslerHOST
