This is another song I heard on spotify and that means it is in my head and on this page and beamed to you! But what is it about, according to Wikipedia?
Disco 2000” is a hit single by British band Pulp, released in 1995. The song tells the story of a narrator falling for a childhood friend called Deborah, who is more popular than he is and wondering what it would be like to meet again when they are older. Deborah was based on a real life childhood friend of Cocker’s, Deborah Bone, who moved away from Sheffield to Letchworth when she was 10. As the lyrics suggest, she did marry and have children.[1] Pulp frontman Jarvis Cocker said “the only bit that isn’t true is the woodchip wallpaper.”[2] It is believed that the fountain referred to as the meeting place was Goodwin Fountain, formerly located on Fargate, in Sheffield city centre. The song’s riff is said to be influenced by Umberto Tozzi‘s 1979 hit “Gloria“.[
I just like that this is a song about us, the people living in the future. They grew up thinking the year 2000 was way in the future and maybe it would’ve been except: 9/11.

Disco 2000 Lyrics
Oh we were born within one hour of each other
Our mothers said we could be sister and brother
Your name is Deborah, Deborah
It never suited ya
And they said that when we grew up
We’d get married, and never split up
Oh, we never did it, although I often thought of itOh Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall
When I came around to call
You didn’t notice me at allAnd I said let’s all meet up in the year 2000
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown
Be there 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you’d get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years agoYou were the first girl at school to get breasts
And Martyn said that you were the best
Oh the boys all loved you, but I was a mess
I had to watch them trying to get you undressed
We were friends, that was as far as it went
I used to walk you home sometimes but it meant
Oh, it meant nothing to you
‘Cause you were so popularDeborah do you recall?
Your house was very small
With woodchip on the wall
When I came around to call
You didn’t notice me at allAnd I said let’s all meet up in the year 2000
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown
Be there 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you’d get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years ago
Do it
Oh yeah
Oh yeahAh Deborah do you recall?
Oh, your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall
When I came around to call
You didn’t notice me at allAnd I said let’s all meet up in the year 2000
Won’t it be strange when we’re all fully grown
Be there 2 o’clock by the fountain down the road
I never knew that you’d get married
I would be living down here on my own
On that damp and lonely Thursday years agoOh what are you doing Sunday baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby
Oh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
What are you doing Sunday baby
Would you like to come and meet me maybe?
You can even bring your baby
Ooh ooh oh oh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
