Bad Cover Version
This is all 7 years too late, but I've been revisiting Pulp's last album, We Love Life, and felt the urge to rave about 'Bad Cover Version'. The lyrics talk about trying to replace lost love using the metaphor of bad covers to get the message across. At the time the album came out I never bothered to track down the video, but, man, it's worth it. It's one of the most nicely married-to-the-song vids I've seen in ages, both in terms of message and tone.On top of that, the b-side for the single is a cover of 'Disco 2000' by Nick Cave. Follow that concept through! Follow it!
No video, but you can stream it via Youtube too.
Aaand for in-jokey reference bonus points, the lyrics trawl through a list of "bad imitations that got it so wrong". This includes "the second side of Til The Band Comes In", which happens to be an album by the song's producer, Scott Walker.
Haha, I guess it's nice to work with someone you get along with well enough that you can take the piss out of them while they're helping you out.
