The last verse gets me every time I hear it. It's so...stark. For me it's an anthem for anyone whose life hasn't quite turned out how they imagined it would.

That composer guy on the piano explained incredibly well what makes it a good song. He really knows his stuff

No part 6!? Waaaah...

wow - i didn't realize how complicated it is to be a musical composer .. gary carpenter breaks this thing down to bits & pieces & builds it back up again ... how interesting ! i now wish i had studie music as a kid. lol

awwww... Jarvis got emotional.. such a sweetheart!

"That silly song" was by The Righteous Brothers and it's fucking amazing.

Part 6 is blocked on YT but found it here v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNTYyNDMxNTAw.html

Nick Moore Well done for that find. Part 6 is blocked because of the Glastonbury 95 footage is copyright issue.

I wanna live like part 2 and 6 !?!??? 😠😟 BTW as a composer I REALLY hear PUNK in this track. The energy is what drives it + good lyrics

Soundtack to my life...

Where the heck is part 6????

Where tf is part 6 eh? 😔

Oh come on, upload that 6th part please, on bbc it ain't available. :/

top top song my kids love it

any chance for part 6 pls?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Why the sixth part is not available in my country as the others :( please fix this or ... don't you can upload the full archive to download it?, this and the onter documentary of Pulp that you have here They are so amazing!! Please Thanks :):)

Why show 5 parts and leave out the sixth? Is it malice?

I'm doing a bit of research for a piece on the Glastonbury gig - looks like the info I need is in part 6 (which has been blocked) - do you know if it's available anywhere else? Cheers :)

Try the 6th part now.

The melody of "Common People" is simply a variant of one of the songs of Spanish Pop Band "Mecano". It is the beginning of Mecano's song "Los amantes" from the Album "Descanso Dominical" (1988). See the second single "Los amantes" (The lovers), with Ana Torroja. The single topped out at position No. 32 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs. See kzread.info/dash/bejne/iIKXpcqiZtPdj9I.html

jaysus..... where the **** is part 6, well bolloxed that mate!!

No part 2 or 6 for me. BBC help!

I have no idea why this part isn't available in your country, I've uploaded it the same way like the others. And I don't know how could I fix that. Both documentaries are quite big, so it would take me a long time to upload it.

AnthemForTheWorld Part 6 is right here, but cannot be shown because part of the content belongs to some Lasso Entertainment, or sth. like that, so they had it blocked ... - I suppose these Lasso guys aren't no common people ... @Anthem for the World thank you so much for uploading this for us !

"There's a dog sitting in the corner, he'll bite yea but he'd never warn yea, not like me, that's not what I'm about, but he'll tear your insides out!"

It should have been number infinity

Don't care about the analysis or the composition. Watched Jarvis twice and in Leeds, he was the so called undercard to the Strokes. I was there for the Strokes but Jarvis just blew the whole thing out.

For part 6 ... kzread.info/dash/bejne/n2aZ3LJsgafUkrw.html ... and start @ 48:20 ... Stone Roses segment, Glastonbury, etc.

it would be a saloon song hehe

WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE ME

I tried, but still not working :(

Same AS keeping 'viena' FROM NO 1

in a sense, perhaps common people never making #1 is apropos

@mjbastin72

Link for part 6 web.archive.org/web/20121121030125/kzread.info/dash/bejne/d4R4wZWyZJiaiMo.html

what happened to Jarvis?? he used to be so hot!!

i love that gary carpenter guy, proper musicologist! most people's taste in music is sadly shit and people like him intellectualize that fact haha

...but in the end, he admits that it's a kick arse song ;)

Common People being kept off the no 1 spot by Unchained Melody was as much of a travesty as Tender (by Blur) losing out to One more time (by Britney Spears)...ugh

It's ironic how great artists get dislodged by mediocre artists for number one. Fairytale of New York only reached no2 aswell to be beaten by the fucking pet shop boys's "You're always on mind".

Ser Bronn of the Blackwater at number 1!!

there is some absurd filler material on this show. interesting still, though

Denied the No 1 spot by Robson and Gerome doing a cheap cover rip off no less! Oh the horror! Why God? Whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy?????

Yeah then maybe putrid mediocrity wouldn't have taken over like it has now, todays music is garbage.
