Description

It's hard to believe that Pulp's Common People was released 25 years ago.
The overall theme of the song is the over-romanticised empathy with “poor folk” popular among wealthy students.
As for the women talked about in the song? There were rumours that it was the wife of former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis but Cocker still hasn’t revealed it.
Alison Curtis joined Mario for The Story Behind The Song.
