Okay - so I just checked my I Pod, and I have 610 Elvis songs on it.

And I've seen him live 25 times.

So I'm not objective.

But c'mon, this is a good song. {#Biggrin}

We need to get somebody to really piss him off. He was so much better when he was angry.

I can't understand the hate for Elvis Costello on an eclectic station.  Is it the weird time signatures?  The unconventional phrasing and melodies?  I just don't understand it.

Never got the Elvis Costello love.  Oh well, I don't have to love everything RP plays.

There are some songs from this album that I can't really get into (yet) but this song surely deserves much better than a 5.

4.8 is so wrong for this song so I gave it a 9 and it jumped to 4.9 - Nice to know I can make a difference - Hey even the worst Elvis deserves at least a 5 or better.

an 8 from a pro choice, pro gay marriage, pro cannabis, separation of church and state Tea Party Republican. I am against spending tax money on entitlements for imagined or manufactured rights/needs of every kind regardless of race, creed, sexual orientation or political affiliation if that helps the stereotype.

If we can agree on music maybe we're not so different.

Thanks for the heads-up.  I gave it a 1 and bumped it back to a 4.8.  Glad to help.

6 for the song + 10 for the bass playing / 2 = 8!

Really nails that King of America sound!
