This must have been around the time when he got rid of the guitar in his band and went keyboard on us. How disappointed I was. This song was meant to be played on a guitar. Sorry, just my opinion. Still love Joe though.
@DNAngel2009 you,re excusedHAHA;-),you are not to blame, and Biebers have to be there too,something for everyone ;-) if their not really talented they just disappear from the scene,and guys like this are here to staay ;-)))
I still love Joe's music, as well as XTC, Costello, and all the better music from the late 70's and early 80's. But there are brilliant acts out now like St Vincent and Fleet Foxes. Have a listen and a look on youtube.
I Don't Know How Many More Are Gunna Whatch This And Comment But.... I Heard This Song On My B-Day @ Dennys!! LMao This Song Played And It Stucked In My Head Now It's On MY Ipod Lmao! I Love The Beat And The Music!!!
So you don't think the organ, bassline and general vibe of the song sounds like "Riders on the Storm"? I'm familiar enough to know that Joe Jackson and Elvis Costello are the same person. Just kidding on that one, still say this sounds a lot like riders definitely on this live version, not as much on the studio version.
As much a I will always love Joe's, Mr. Costello's and XTC's, music, one of the newer acts I've taken a liking to is St Vincent. Her music is brilliant and has some welcome menace to it at times. She's one of the more unique acts out now. She has videos on youtube.
He's so good live.

Does bad teeth make you sing in key? Or sing better? Or make you look unlike Sting?

I wonder if this song was influenced by the doors?

Uh...NO. Joe Jackson at the time (late 70's) was pioneering a new sound of rock/ska/punk.

Great song. I love Joe Jackson. Sad that he's so under-appreciated. If he looked like Sting he would be huge.

I truly don't mean to be rude but perhaps your comment is a bit unfair.Joe Jackson was and remains very popular. I think he is quite cute!
