Stateside Pulp fans are in for a special treat next week, as Jarvis Cocker is scheduled to judge a special Pulp karaoke competition in New York.
To coincide with the release of Florian Habicht’s new film Pulp: A Film About Life, Death and Supermarkets, the frontman will arrive in the Big Apple for a special screening of the film, before he engages fans in a Q&A at the Industry City venue in Brooklyn.
As an added bonus, a number of attendants will also be able to perform before Cocker. To enter, you need to tweet @RooftopFilms, stating which Pulp song you’d like to regale the Sheffield musician with and why, adding the hashtag #singforjarvis at the end. Some of Industry City’s other stipulations are:
- You must plan to attend the show! If you can’t be there on August 7th, don’t enter the contest! Jarvis will be very mad at you. Do you really want that on your conscience?
- Creativity is encouraged/mandatory. Tweet something that will make us notice you and think you’re a special and unique snowflake. A funny drawing? A relevant YouTube video? Something weird and wild we’ve never seen or heard before? Impress us.
- No nudity please.
- If we get a million tweets about ‘Common People’, we will be far less likely to pick them. Don’t be so obvious. See above note about creativity
- If you receive that coveted tweet that says you’ve won, don’t have a heart attack. You need to confirm your win within 24 hours of notification.
Contestants must apply by 4 August, and can select from the following Pulp songs:
All Time High
Babies
Common People
Disco 2000
Do You Remember the First Time
Help the Aged
Mile End
Monday Morning
Sorted For E’s & Wizz
