Common People is primarily known as the title of a highly influential song by the English alternative rock band Pulp, released in May 1995. This track quickly became a defining anthem of the Britpop movement, peaking at No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart and achieving significant critical acclaim, including being voted the favorite Britpop song by BBC Radio 6 Music listeners in 2014. The song’s composition originated from Jarvis Cocker’s experience at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, where he met a Greek art student, and built around a tune he developed on a Casiotone keyboard purchased in Notting Hill, London.
The song’s lyrics offer a satirical critique of “class tourism,” addressing wealthy individuals who idealize poverty without understanding its inherent struggles. This theme resonated broadly, making “Common People” not just a musical success but also a cultural touchstone that has been referenced in various media, including the 2023 film *Saltburn*. The band first publicly performed the song at Reading Festival in August 1994, followed by a headline performance at Glastonbury Festival a year later. Its enduring popularity led to its inclusion on more than 16 compilation albums and a BBC Three documentary in 2006 detailing its composition and cultural impact.
Beyond Pulp’s original, “Common People” has seen diverse interpretations, notably a 2004 cover version produced by Ben Folds for William Shatner’s album *Has Been*, which introduced the song to new, international audiences. Jarvis Cocker himself praised Shatner’s rendition, acknowledging the unique appeal of “Captain Kirk singing my song.” The song’s themes have also inspired covers by artists like My Chemical Romance, who performed it multiple times on tour, citing its relevance to “regular people.”
