"I-Spy" sits on Different Class, the fifth studio album Pulp released on Island in October 1995, and it comes dressed up in strings: 8 violins, 2 violas and a cello, with Chris Thomas producing and David Nicholas engineering. Jarvis Cocker wrote the words, and the music is credited to Cocker with Nick Banks, Candida Doyle, Steve Mackey, Russell Senior and Mark Webber.
The record around it went straight to the top of the UK albums chart, took the 1996 Mercury Music Prize and threw off four UK top-ten singles: "Common People", "Sorted for E's & Wizz", "Disco 2000" and "Something Changed".
