Song by song
Babies
A sly, giddy confession of adolescent curiosity and voyeurism: hiding in a wardrobe, spying on an older girl's bedroom, equal parts shame, desire and comic suburban drama.
Submarine, The Inbetweeners, This Is England
Common People
A sharp, witty and bitter takedown of a rich art student who wants to "live like common people", building from wry storytelling into a defiant, communal release.
Trainspotting, The Full Monty, Billy Elliot
Disco 2000
A bittersweet, funny, euphoric memory of a childhood crush on a neighbour girl, and the unrealised plans to meet again at the millennium, when life turned out smaller than dreamed.
Brassed Off, The Full Monty, Fever Pitch
Do You Remember the First Time?
A wry, tender, slightly embarrassed memory of a clumsy first sexual encounter, told with Jarvis Cocker's sly humor and class-conscious British awkwardness.
Submarine, The Inbetweeners, Sex Education
Underwear
A grubby, tender and quietly devastating tale of an awkward hotel-room encounter, where the clothes come off and the shame, embarrassment and disappointment of two people who barely know each other come into view.
Brief Encounter, Secrets & Lies, Naked Lunch
