Out, damn'd spot! Out, I say!
One; two: why, then, ’tis time to do ’t.
Hell is murky! Fie, my lord, fie!

This first appeared on an "other people doing Yoko songs" album called "Every Man Has a Woman", which was one of the first ten or so CDs I ever bought. While I prefer the original Yoko version, I like the Elvis Costello one just because it's so different while still recognizably being the same song.

Having said that, I never thought I'd hear anyone other than *me* play it!

My favorite Yoko song performed by my third favorite artist of all time.

I respect Declan's experimentation and eclecticism but this one's seriously sucky to these ears. The Casio intro sets the tone and it's downhill from there.

I like Elvis on Blood and Chocolate. He stopped the commercial crap on that entire album. Not sure what he's doing with the rest.

90% of the posts are favorable, so how come this only gets a 5.3?

Fantastic record. Elvis and Yoko together for the first and only time.

Put the Casio away and get out the gee-tar


Do you have any clue about Elvis. The Attractions are a keyboard driven band with one of the greatest of all time Mr. Steve Nieve behind a wide range of keys. EC has written many a song on the piano, and is generally the only guitarist, with his mostly rhthym but occassionally bizarre solos, on his records. He self-effacingly called himself Little Hands of Concrete.

Classic rock sequence — loving it.

Elvis Costello - Walking On Thin Ice
U2 - Two Hearts Beat As One
Procol Harum - A Whiter Shade Of Pale

Just like I love "alternative" sequences, world music sequences, grunge sequences, jazz sequences, 80"s seq..... well maybe not.

Thats why I love RP.

No where else but on RP - or at my house - would you get to hear Elvis and the TKO horns raising up one of Yoko's best songs to another level.
