Denna vecka ska jag posta låtar som handlar om sex. Det kan vara sex med sig själv, nån annan, flera andra, så länge det är med samtycke. Om du har egna låtar på temat, skicka dem gärna till mig så lägger jag till i spellistan här
Pulp – “This Is Hardcore” (1998)
Den andra singeln från albumet med samma namn. Kändisskapet och nöjesindustrin liknas vid pornografi. Sången innehåller också en sampling av Peter Thomas Sound Orchestra’s ”Bolero on the Moon Rocks”.
Ett långt men belysande citat från en intervju med Jarvis Cocker i boken “Truth And Beauty – The Story of Pulp” (2009):
“This Is Hardcore’ is a bit about fame, actually… I ended up watching a lot of porn – hah! – on tour. If you get back to the hotel and you’ve got nothing to do, you put the adult channel on and have a look… It’s the way that people get used up in it. You’d see the same people in films, and they’d seem to be quite alive, and then you’d see a film from a year later and there’s something gone in their eyes. You can see it, that they’ve done it all and there’s nowhere else to go. There seemed to be something really poignant about that to me. It seemed to be very similar to the way people get used in the entertainment business.”
“You are hardcore, you make me hard
You name the drama and I’ll play the part
It seems I saw you in some teenage wet dream
I like your get-up, if you know what I mean
I want it bad
I want it now
Oh, can’t you see I’m ready now?
I’ve seen all the pictures, I’ve studied them forever”
