There is nobody that writes a song quite like Elvis Costello, and this cut is a great example. I can't believe all those rockers out there who are young haven't turned on to this type of music.
Its actually very disappointing - he comes across as being very bitter in it - i'm not actually at all surprised that Elvis spat the dummy over it. Also he almost totally ignores the music and his bass playing in it which is such a shame when he is one of the greats on the instrument - he became much less of a hero after reading his 'told you so' memoir
Yeah baby! Give MotelMatches a run for his money LoL
Certainly One Of my all time fave E.C. songs, Thanks!

Bruce and Pete are the most underrated rhythm section EVER. Amazing musicians.

Thanks for the upload.
It's a good video of the group and a good play of Shabby Doll, but the audio's a little too compressed.
