Pulp - Do You Remember the First Time?

"Do You Remember the First Time?" was the second single from His 'n' Hers, Pulp's 1994 album for Island and their fourth overall, and it gave Jarvis Cocker the ideal stage for his peculiar gift: taking the most awkward moment of a teenage life and making it sound grand and grubby at once. The lyric grows loosely out of Cocker's own first time, which was enough to ruffle some feathers.

Ed Buller produced, and the whole band shares the music credit with Cocker writing the words, so the swell and shudder behind him belongs to all five. It became Pulp's first UK top-40 hit, landing at 33, and the video went one better on the theme, rounding up famous faces to talk about losing their virginity. It has since been hailed as one of Pulp's best-known songs, and it opened the show when Pulp reunited.
