Alison - Elvis Costello

[silentalley14]

Thats 70s Show! This song played when Hyde bid farewell to the "Punk Girl" he liked. Nice.

[ManFacingSoutheast]

You missed the key pun in the lyrics. It's not I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE LOVING SOMEBODY.

It's actually I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE LOVING SOME BODY. That's the only way the following line (I ONLY KNOW IT ISN'T MINE meaning [MY BODY]) makes sense.

Glad to be of service,

[labtide]

thats funny!

have a good one!

[louisthegreat7]

love this song amd i am 12

[ace1152000]

@louisthegreat7 I'm 11 and my name is Alison xxx Such an awesome song!!!!! :)

[ryan06105]

His aim is true but it sounds like hers ain't.

[poetuvdapeople]

Everything about this ballad is beautiful from the melody, to the lyrics, to the name....fell in love with it after the first listen!!!

[beachbird8]

I watched this after I read Flawless

[TheresNoEinALLI]

I think his aim is true.

[BrainChild42]

Here's to all the Allison's out there ;)

[AlliLipgloss]

My social studies teacher sang this to me because its my name(well sorta i have 2 L's) and then he played it on his iPod(weird) and now this guy in my math class sings it to me like every day haha

[Lovemehsims123]

[alliykatbrianad1010]

[Freezeframe18]

Like if you came here because you like good music and not shitty books. :D

[imani11rocks]

Its ironic that i discovered this song by watching 'That 70s Show'...huh.

[allisonbrg]

[fadya97]

thumbs up if u came here because u read pretty little liars

[Unwaveringhope4]

[sabresister]

When my mom had me, our family friend Joe went to go visit us in the hospital, and when he found out she named me Alison, he came in the room singing this song :)

[TessyLovesYou98]

this is my favorite song <3

[moaningmyrtlewrocks]

I WAS NAMED AFTER THIS SONG!!!! <3333

[Frogluver21]

like if you came here after reading the PLL series ;)

[OuttaMyHead1304]

@Frogluver21 i know right?! after i read that i was thinking it was wierd especially because the name is alison

[allisonalli9]

Like if your name is Allison!

[ninjadancer888]

@allisonalli9 actually my name is Alison! teehee :)

[unclesalts]

I have this on vinyl somewhere, but no longer have a turntable.

[Karishniko]

11 people were dumped by a girl named Alison. xD

[kec27JR]

I got this song from that 70's show :)

[MBQuaver58]

@kec27JR me too! :D



[SpleenieMartini]

He's playing here and I'm missing it!! ARRRRGHHHHHHH!!!!!

[EyeHawk777]

2:29 - if he says "My aim is true" one more time....

[gregjeans2000]

@EyeHawk777 Lol i was thinking the same thing

[vh93jones]

the 11 people who disliked this song were obviously on the wrong page, for they have no sense of the truth.

[theWGOshow]

YAY MY NAME!

[BenjaminStoneLover21]

I only listened to this song cause Nick Jonas likes it<3333333. i LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

[DavidKyokushin]

The same guy got the two top rated comments. Make it change guys!

[hbdywtk]

My friend used to date a girl named Alison. She let me take off her party dress.

[theWGOshow]

@hbdywtk What a wonderful friend you are.

[trixiestrix2]

@hbdywtk WHO THINKS THIS GUYS FIBBING?? IN MY EXPERIENCE WHEN A GUY TELLS SEX STORIES ABOUT ME/FRIENDS .. IT WAS ALWAYS BULL. THE MEN THAT WOULD TAKE THE DRESS OFF THEIR FRIENDS GIRL, WOULD NEVER TELL.

[labtide]

@hbdywtk some friend you are

[hbdywtk]

@labtide you're right. I actually don't like my own comment and wrote it to be silly. It's not even true. I'm kind of disappointed that so many people liked it.

[watergoddess9]

Always love this song! Had a best friend Alison when i was a kid and I loved her like a sister! I miss her!!

[LoverStyleJump]

10 guys have got a false aim

[flight29down96]

my name lol

[XxAlisonNassifxX]

@flight29down96 Me Too XD

[theWGOshow]

@XxAlisonNassifxX ME TOO!

[ElectricLuvz]

I've always thought of this song as being about him fantasizing about jizzing and/or relieving himself on Allison's face.

[moz77000]

Am i the one who heared it on OTH ?

[LiLEMiSSEQUESTRiAN]

my nameeeee :)

[JimmyMcEmoson]

I think alison is the pretties name a girl can have

[Appaloosa1117]

Ugh this song has been of the annoyances of my childhood. My friends dad would always play it :P Curse being named Allison. lol

[allisonx3leigh]

My name is Allison <3 :) !

[theofficialMATIC]

1st heard this song on that 70s show when hyde and the biker chick was in the hotel. been hooked ever since

[owenmatt]

I searched this co I got a date with a girl called Alison this sunday. Depending how well it goes and how drunk I get I might just warble the chorus to her!

[akgoness]

My uncle sings this to me ha :) 

He sings, "ALLLLLISONNNN!"

And I go, "I KNOW THIS WORLD IS KILLIN' MEEEEE"

[liambrawley]

First heard this on that 70s show; took me ages to find out what song it was coz it wasnt listed in the credits

[iamstalin42]

Thumbs Up if you knew this song because its good music and E.C. ROCKS, and not because you watch too much tv.

[darthsage411]

@iamstalin42 Thank you! I was reading the comments being like "wtf? Why does the top comment have anything to do with Pretty little liars!?"

[FunkyFrameProd]

One of Nick Jonas's favorite songs. :')

[MrBulldog94]

I was named after this song :)

[TheXoXoAllysonXoXo]

@MrBulldog94 i'm sort of named after this & alison krauss

[MrsMichelleCool]

I don't know much of Elvis Costello but this song is so F**kn Amazing! Do you guys know if he has another song like this?

[JofusSunshyne]

@MrsMichelleCool ; lots of great songs, none so similar. Check out his Girls! Girls! Girls! Greatest Hits.

[Ema188897]

My Dad wanted to call me Alison because of this song, but my Mum wouldn't let him, haha

[Davidwinning123]

pll CRRREEEEEEEPY

[kyndallb1000]

The comments about that 70s show and Pretty little liars: I found it in Pretty little liars, but I was watching that 70s show at the time..... :D

[ElectricLuvz]

I'm only 4 months old but I don't like the current music such as Justin Bieber (can I get a "hell ya!"?) I prefer music like this and I wish I was born at this time instead of 2011 because you all had the best music!

[DANCEEXPONETS]

@ElectricLuvz

lol@4 months old.

[2222melissa]

My mom has a thing for Elvis Costello so this song was played when I was little. Haha

[YuvalZZZBeren]

the best song i have ever heared.... more then gaga and bieber, this is just pure music...

[Cheer1422xD]

Read this Song in Pretty Little Liars and came on Youtube 2 check it out thumbs up if u did 2 xD

[Renitamac]

@Cheer1422xD This song is actually a lot more famous than Pretty Little Liars.

[Cheer1422xD]

@Renitamac Yea no dip but I don't think so mi opion and urs back off smart ass

[televisionpreview]

@Renitamac Yeah, but hey at least Pretty Little Liars helped people find some good music! :p

[augustcinnamon]

Get Over It :D :D

[Tbone180000]

@augustcinnamon

This song was hilarious and totally fit the scene and the movie lol

[augustcinnamon]

@Tbone180000 haha yeah, the 1st time I saw the film I hardly recognized the song :D

[Tbone180000]

@augustcinnamon

I first heard of the song through the movie, I was impressed ;) lol

[BledZeppelin]

Press play?

[t00117598]

im giving up on this guy, i keep hearing how good he is yet cant find a single song that i would call anything more than average.

[Reliby]

Thumbs up if you know someone named Alison or Allison or any other spelling or the name...

[lovefromeponine]

@Reliby that's me :)

[TheNiaJane]

One of the few good things to come out of my past relationship. My ex introduced me to this song:)

[321ajs]

This isn't half as creepy as what I thought it would be after reading Pretty Little Liars.. thumbs up if you agree.

[Produceproducers]

my song :)

[rugra1000]

i am watchin this after i read it pretty little liars i can see why can't sing this song you could be arrested if you sung it happy

[blackend1611]

nice song :)



[jikelgo]

I think every guy has an alison in thier lives, my alison was named hillary. She was the ONE!!!!!But I never told her that she was my world. So now all I can do is sleep to dream her. And yes she did put her pretty fingers in the wedding cake.

[yeewaishun]

just heard this song in the movie "The Killer (Le Tueur)" today. at the scene, the killer was dancing with the escorted girl. its wonderful, this original version is so unique. no cover can beat it.

[baustin91]

cuz its about drugs

[getupanddosomething]

@baustin91 Could you explain what you mean? I think the lyrics pretty clearly tell an ironic story of unrequited love gone a little crazy. He stalks the his old love, is unsatisfied with her life after him, and then shoots her out of what he thinks is mercy.

[dobrall]

@sunset5921 WOW that is weird!! the only thing different is my name is spelled like allyson not alyson :(

[TheIrishallie]

i was named after this song :) it is near and dear to my heart :)

[theHoTBoXkid]

why are the faces of meth in the suggestion box?

[911problemchild]

@theHoTBoXkid i was wondering the same thing..

[DookNun]

@theHoTBoXkid It's what became of Alison...

[laulinde]

Thumbs up if random !

[theHoTBoXkid]

Thumbs up if you liked this song BEFORE that 70's show and pretty little liars!!!!

[miki4088pen]

@theHoTBoXkid not gonna lie

i just saw that episode of that 70's show

[davemfc1885]

Classic song by Mr. Costello

[BIG6DODGE9]

Thumbs up if you're here for House

[snookisdabomb]

ha my names alison.... :)

[faillblogkeyboardcat]

300th comment

[maajoohh]

omg i love this song!!! and then i read about it inm PPL and i got all excited hahahaa

[SeizuresHD]

thats 70s show <3

[Pedalfeet2010]

My-My-My ...... Pangalan ay Alison (if you can read this it is true)

[whadawethink]

good song - Elvis Costello is weird. I heard that this song was about murder - a ballad about murder. "Veronika" is about a woman in a nursing hiome who has alzheimer's disease and she's trying to remember things. Elvis looks innocuous but he is a dark soul.

[crazedbirdy9]

@whadawethink According to wikipedia, Elvis denied that this song is about murder. Rather it is about dissapointing someone. He refuses to comment on who the song is about.

[XFutureMrsCullenX1]

I came here from Pretty little liars!

[dobrall]

my name is allyson but my teacher played this song and now he sings it whenever i walk into a room. and he is an ok singer but it is SO annoying

[sunset5921]

@dobrall oh my god my band teacher does that to me too and my name is alyson too xD

[cstring420]

@dobrall you should tell someone...

[phillipburch]

That 70's Show FTW! That show was great, and introduced me to some awesome music.

[junkiejunkify1]

like this is your name is Allison like me (:

[selenalikethesinger]

get over it!

(the movie)

[iSurfTV]

While PLL and That 70's Show are both great, it makes me kind of sad to see that none of you kid's ever heard of Elvis Costello before that. My mom showed me this song when I was 10.

[musicislove25]

@iSurfTV this comment really needs to get thumbed up a LOT

it's so true...

[Rinkei9]

i was named after this song

[fusahey22]

@Rinkei9

[Rinkei9]

@fusahey22 ummm no allyson… o.o 

[MetsFanDJL]

[MTCatman]

[awesome13jeff]

Hey Allison, I miss you so much and I know I won't ever get to be with you...I guess the only thing that makes me feel better is the fact that I'm winning the lottery tonight.

[Aec1127able]

[wushock1991]

[andytaylor228]

[wushock1991]

@Tbone180000 the one where hyde meets the biker chick and he thinks about moving to NYC

[OuTRunner12]

[Rockport269]

E-HEM!!! You spelled it wrong, Mr. Costello! My name has TWO L's, not one!

[theDGKings]

I was just watching family guy and the episode came up where the kids sing to the guy with the wierd mustache and suit and this song was almost exactly in tune with their mouths holy shit

[babybits2011]

Love this song with my name (although he spelt it wrong should be 2 ll's) got me through some bad times!

[babybits2011]

[TheTorontoMusician]

I don't care what anyone says I'm naming my kid after this, even if its a FUCKING boy!
