Do you fancy Jarvis Cocker?

[gotelltheoldmandowntheroad]

I know I'm not alone.

From the moment I first saw him when Common People came out, and he was staring into my soul on Top of the Pops. His voice, his sass, his talent. Even today, I have fancied him since he appeared and still do.

Anyone else?

I'm with you here: was always more a Ray Manzarek than a Jim Morrison type of woman. I don't find JC particularly attractive but completely understand why other people do. Charisma is a rare commodity and a total aphrodisiac.

But as far as I'm concerned, the Michael Jackson stunt makes him a-okay by me!

YANBU. I used to have a poster of him on my bedroom wall as a student. It surprised me as I normally liked men on the beefy side.

God yes. The voice, the hips. Not my type usually but Jarvis sends me all of a wibble. Especially when he sings "underwear".

God, yes. It was I Spy live that did it for me.

Oh god yes! The man is sex on (very lanky) legs! The way he says "alright" in various songs, particularly in babies, gives me minge twinge!

Nah, you are ok.

He did an excellent podcast for insomniacs. I love it. Jarvis

Oh my! 😘

James Acaster is a bit of a Jarvis lookie likey

I don't, because he always reminds me of my much loved late best friend (who also loved him) but I think he's a grand chap.

I miss the 90s.

No. I think he’d be boring and sarcastic. I bumped into him once in a hotel (literally bumped into him).

@fuckwhatshouldido has nailed it. I too had a poster of him on my wall at uni. He was totally my type - tall, skinny, slightly nerdy intellectual type. Still is tbh.

I always assumed he’s be pretentious but he was sitting on an EasyJet flight behind me in 2001 and was down to Earth and low-key. When we disembarked he took a photo with me and my fiends. I asked some bloke who he was with to take the photo - didn’t realise it was another member of the band!

No, never have. Too scrawny and pointy. I liked Pulp’s music in the 90’s but I didn’t find the band member attractive. I was more of a Tim Burgess, Damon Albarn, Liam Gallagher type, looks wise. Although Burgess looks mad these days with his bleached pudding bowl.

Yes agreed

@Spidey66 This is amazing!

I would ride Jarvis into the middle of next week.

I walked past him in Soho a few years ago. He was wearing a suit and skinny tie at 2pm on a Wednesday. The man is a legend and Pulp are one of the best bands the UK has ever produced.

Thanks for sharing this Hagel :)

@Needhelp101 I miss the 90s everyday😪

Someone at school said I looked like Jarvis Cocker. 😂. I am tall, I was quite slim and my legs are skinny and long, I had my hair in a short bob style and have high cheekbones. I'm female by the way 😁 This was back in the day, the mid 90s, I was a bit of an indie type too.

Absolutely poetic.

Pulp live was a great gig. I hope I get to see them now they have reformed. I just played my Different Class CD in the car in our holiday and my kids HATED it. I remembered ever word. I did fancy him a bit back in the day. Not keen on his facial hair now.

@gotelltheoldmandowntheroad There's not enough words in the English dictionary to describe my love of Jarvis Cocker.

When I die my own personal heaven will just be me, him, Brett Anderson and Richey Edwards all living as a happy foursome in the afterlife.

@hagelslaagfiend he messed with lyrics so much singing this, compared to the CD version. Do you think he was off his head??
