Our little piece of pop history Adapted from British newspaper
Andrew Holgate and his family bougin a house at number
59 Lyndhurst Grove, in London. On their first morning in their new
house they were very surprised. They looked out of the window and
saw some people taking photographs of their front door. Every week
more people came and took photographs. Andrew and his family
couldn't understand it. Then they solved the mystery...
The British pop group Pulp have a song on their album Pulpintro
called 59 Lyndhurst Grove (written by the singer. Jarvis Cocker).
The people who came to see their house were Pulp fans. But why
did Pulp sing about 59 Lyndhurst Grove? This is the story. One
night Jarvis Cocker came to a party at the house. He argued with
the owner an architect, and tbe owner threw him out of the house,
Jarvis went home and wrote an angry song about the house, the
party, and the architect owner.
There are other pop songs about streets. For example, the Beatles
wrote a song about Penny Lane in Liverpool. But what is unusual
is that Jarvis Cocker's song gives the number of the house,
Fortunately, Andrew and his family are quite happy that their
house is famous.
