Oliver's Army is here to stay! I like this better. Jo must've loved the Graham Parker/Costello late 70s UK scene and he was right up there as part of it. Must have been great to see him live in a pub in Melbourne back in the late 70s early 80s.

[nzoz1980]

@mistersmith6000 he supported Elvis Costello on his 1979 Aussie tour. EC also did a cover of Jo Jo Zep's 'So Young' (a mere demo). I'm not sure, but I think Graham Parker also did a cover of Jo Jo's 'So Young'.

Classy song & sound. Joe is right up there in the history of Aussie Rock Music as one of the landmark best Aussie rock-music talents .. both as a composer + performer. I agree with you nzoz1980 .. Joe has popped up here & there in various convulsions over the years .. but much like the legendary Brian Cadd, I feel that Joe has never ever gotten the accolades & proper recognition either from the industry & the public that have been bloody-well due to him. Great posting !!

[nzoz1980]

Same old story, really... talent only gets one so far.

[Tarrant1976]

Is that Wilbur Wilde at 0.46?

[nzoz1980]

it is!

[KyleeDick]

this song is so joe jackson.gotta love it.

[peecee1384]

@Johnnystrychnine He manages to get some great sounds out of that tiny piano, busts a move with an invisible spade, and has a very shiny head...

[Johnnystrychnine]

@peecee1384 why?

[Johnnystrychnine]

Joe Camilleri= The Duke of Melbourne. I was in year 7 at high school..

[1970groupie]

Just heard Elvis Costello's 'Every day' on radio and for first time noticed the striking similarity in sound to Camilleri. I came to youtube to check, and I see that I'm not alone in this. Never been into their music myself.

[TheSatanicFerret]

You guys do know, that the band didn't write this song themselves, don't you?

[julesian]

Great pop! Didn't EC produce the song when he was out here touring at the time?

[dreftsnoop]

what a lineup Joe Camilleri, Geoff Burstyn, Gary Young, Wilbur Wilde...

[peecee1384]

The bald guy steals the show :-)
