Idolator Demands: It’s Time To Bring “Mis-Shapes” Back To The Common People!

Last night, we were listening to a copy of Pulp’s recently remastered Different Class album–it’s an import, though you can get it super cheap at CD-WOW–and when the first song came on, we immediately cringed. Why? Because it’s “Mis-Shapes,” and whenever we hear it, instead of thinking about Jarvis Cocker strutting around the stage of the Reading Festival, we think of a bunch of sweaty lil’ brats throwing up on each other. In America, the popularity of MisShapes (the obnoxious party-slash-DJ collective) has forever ruined “Mis-Shapes” (the song).

We at Idolator want to change that, so we’re starting an inevitably fruitless campaign to make “MisShapes” so well known, no one will ever again associate it with anything other than Pulp. We don’t want to hide our heads in shame when it comes on anymore, and so we have to band together to make this song so big, Bush will reference it in a State Of The Union speech without actually knowing what it means. Just like he did with “Jenny From The Block” a few years ago.

So, your mission: Make “Mis-Shapes” famous. Forward the MP3 below to everyone. Send it to a Gilmore Girls soundtrack supervisor, or, barring that, an actual Gilmore Girl. Buy it multiple times at the iTunes store. If all else fails, hand it to Zach Braff. We’re just that desperate.
