More on Common People
Description from Wikipedia:
"Common People" is a song by English alternative rock band Pulp. It was released as a single in 1995, reaching number two on the UK singles chart. It also appears on the band's 1995 album Different Class. The song is about those who were perceived by the songwriter as wanting to be "like common people" and who ascribe glamour to poverty. This phenomenon is commonly referred to as slumming or "class tourism". A similar theme is explored in 1960s novel and film "Up The Junction".
The song was written Nick Banks, Jarvis Cocker, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey & Russell Senior
