Elvis Costello's cynical take on the fashion industry rocks the house while getting his point across in just 3 powerful minutes; as fresh as ever, even after 25 years.

Closer to 30 years, actually 35, now. Damn, where did the time go?. :-]

@Svatopluk No, that was 'Pump it up'.

Sexual come-ons? Now they tell me. Damn I heard this a thousand places and I didn't realize that. I thought it was about a girl with great grammar who was not misspoken with it came to fancy grammar while being bored to distraction by expensive carpets and empty thought-less guys.
What great organ and drums and bass and Costello's voice is amazingly charged. Not a better song in the world.

@jonbecker03 I think Elvis Costello transcended his first 3 records if that's what you mean by new wave. I particularly like Get Happy!!, Imperial Bedroom and King Of America.

Bravo! One of the best videos I've seen, truly captures the sickening way everybody's taken for a ride by the rich with subconscious come-ons of sexual fulfillment.
I really like the part where Elvis sings "you see yourself rooling on the carpet..." and this beautiful blonde makes you sigh, yet the music reminds one to think with their mind, not with their dick.
BRAVO!

Nice treatment of a great song. A few months ago I was looking for an EC song to cover acoustically but I did want to do a song that was originally done on an acoustic. I chose this one and I was surprised how well it sounded - well it could have sounded much better if done by others, but still, it translated from the original edgy accusation to a sweet lament.
