"Pretty Vacant" is a song by the English punk rock band the Sex Pistols. It was released on 2 July 1977 as the band's third single and was later featured on their only album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, released during that same year. The song reached No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart and marked the band's first appearance on the British chart music TV programme Top of the Pops. The song gained attention for vocalist John Lydon's phrasing of the word "vacant", emphasising the last syllable to sound like the vulgar word cunt. According to bassist Glen Matlock, the song's main riff was inspired by hearing "SOS" by ABBA. The B-side of the single was a cover of the Stooges' "No Fun", which the band played on the spot without a proper rehearsal. It was taken from demo sessions

  • Pretty Vacant è stato il terzo singolo della punk band britannica dei Sex Pistols. Fu pubblicato dalla Virgin Records il 2 luglio 1977. Questa canzone portò i Pistols alla loro prima (ed ultima) apparizione al programma musicale inglese Top of the Pops. Il riff del bassista Glen Matlock è ispirato a quello della canzone S.O.S. degli ABBA, dopo che la band lo aveva ascoltato alla radio. La tematica del brano si fa beffe della disoccupazione giovanile dilagante all'epoca: «We're so pretty, oh so pretty! / Vacant / But now... / And we don't care!» ("Siamo così carinamente, oh così carinamente/ Disoccupati/ ma ora.../ Non ce ne frega niente!").

  • "Pretty Vacant" é uma canção da banda de punk rock britânica Sex Pistols. Foi lançada em 1 de julho de 1977 como o terceiro single da banda e mais tarde foi apresentada em seu único álbum de estúdio, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, lançado no mesmo ano. A canção alcançou o sexto lugar na UK Singles Chart e marcou a primeira aparição da banda no programa televisivo britânico Top of the Pops. A canção ganhou atenção pelo fraseado do vocalista John Lydon na palavra "vacant", enfatizando a última sílaba para soar como a palavra cunt, uma forma vulgar de se referir a vagina. Segundo o baixista Glen Matlock, o riff principal da música foi inspirado em "SOS", do ABBA. O lado B do single era um cover de "No Fun" dos Stooges, que a banda tocou no local sem ensaio adequado.

  • Pretty Vacant — третий сингл панк-рок-группы Sex Pistols, выпущенный 2 июля 1977 года. Песню можно назвать своего рода одой апатии; она была написана Sex Pistols под впечатлением «Blank Generation» Ричарда Хэлла, который позже обвинял их в плагиате. Рифф Глена Мэтлока был вдохновлён песней «S.O.S.» группы ABBA, которая была случайно услышана им по радио. Би-сайдом сингла стала кавер-версия песни The Stooges «No Fun», длящаяся около 7 минут — длиннее, чем оригинальная версия. (ru)
