  • I didn't like the original version the first time I heard it, but I came to like it a little bit more over time. However, when I heard this version it completely blew me away. This is such an amazing rendition and, in my opinion, the best version.

  • I know why Elvis Costello is a superstar. But why the HELL isn't Ron Sexsmith one?? He is amazing! I only discovered him last year, and I wish I had sooner.

  • Not Arrogant... just a little teasing between friends.. 

  • Anyone find the part where Costello says "oh, you opened for me, it wasn't the other way around?" just a bit arrogant?

  • What an amazing performance. I want to write a book now

  • @mdouris

    Actually, I saw him live a few years ago - and I was anticipating the same thing - but it was really amazing - he has real presence, and like every great talent (not that I've seen too many in smallish venues) - the room seemed to get smaller and smaller until it was just him singing - it was incredible.

  • anyone know a dvd version of these "spectacle"?

  • How could Elvis ever fall outta love with this song? This is one of the most beautiful songs he has penned. This rendition is a testament to that. Ron sounds nice but only Elvis can deliver the goods. He has one of the most unique voices and lyrics of all time!

  • prefer Ron singing it than Costello

  • ONE of my favorite '80s songs - Elvis is still in the building

  • Elvis what kind of accent is that .. you sound like a mid atlantic twat and I know your not because your a genius , but keep it real mate
