Declan Patrick MacManus (born 25 August 1954), known as Elvis Costello, is an English singer-songwriter. He came to prominence as an early participant in London's pub rock scene in the mid-1970s and later became associated with the punk/New Wave genre. Steeped in word play, the vocabulary of Costello's lyrics is broader than that of most popular songs. His music has drawn on many diverse genres; one critic described him as a "pop encyclopedia," able to "reinvent the past in his own image".

Hi Mick -
A great song and one of the definitive numbers of the 80s. Love all of the clips and images you've used. I'd forgotten just how young and geeky Elvis Costello looked back then, lol! All the stars and thumbs up!

Hi Rey,I didn't like Mr. Costello at the time,I thought he was completely out of order calling himself Elvis !!!!
Oddly enough,I liked his father,Ross McManus,he had been around for years as a "big band" singer,in fact I had his autograph !
I think this song was his second release and didn't do much at the time,but it's become one of my favourites over the years !
Thanks very much Rey,for all the stars and the thumbs up,I'm pleased you liked the number and video,,cheeers,,Mick :-))
