“Disco 2000” is a hit single by British band Pulp. It is the third one from their album Different Class, following #2 hits “Common People” and the double A-side “Mis-Shapes”/”Sorted for E’s & Wizz”.
The song tells the story of a narrator falling for a childhood friend, called ‘Deborah’, who is more popular than he and wondering what it would be like to meet again in the year 2000, rendering it thematically consistent with the album title, “Different Class”. It is believed that the fountain referred to as the meeting place was Goodwin Fountain, located on Fargate, in Sheffield city centre. This song peaked in the UK at #7.
The song was covered by Nick Cave as a b-side for the single ‘Bad Cover Version’.

Won't it be strange when we're all fully grown? - evokes such a strong sense of nostalgia thinking about that.

I too had a childhood sweetheart called Deborah - so this song means a lot, could have almost been written for me. Wonder what she is doing now :)

Is this the only song that mentions woodchip? Those are the kind of details that make a Pulp song so special, giving them a Betjamenesque quality. Wonderful song. Jarvis is such a charismatic performer though on the face of it he would appear to be just the opposite.
