About The Song
'Disco 2000' is a hit single by British band Pulp. It is the third one from their album 'Different Class'. 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 when they are older. The song is based on true events. Cocker said "the only bit that isn't true is the woodchip wallpaper."
