awwwwwwwww....  just opened the site and I missed this by two songs !

I love the PSD button, now how about a PIA button, Play It Again; for times like these when one of my all time favorite songs just played.....and I missed it.

What ya think Bill, it's just one more button to code.  Love you guys!  Thanks for everything.

Ok - without looking them up, name 5 - just 5 Elvis Costello albums that you didn't like.  Otherwise...shut the ......

All I can think of now when I hear this is when Billy sang it to Alison in an episode of Melrose Place.  TV ruins everything.

Well that wasn't the best episode, IMHO, but the series as a whole was great.{#Guitarist}

No, no, no.  The Attractions; Steve Nieve, Bruce Thomas and Pete Thomas, were a kick-ass band.  Pop music bands don't much better than they were.

Excellent song.  I'm glad it became a hit because it helped to get more airplay for his unique perspective and take on songs.  His Watching the Detectives is one of my favorites of his.

Sadly, this song died for me the night Billy butchered it serenading Allison, on Melrose Place. I can't hear it without thinking of that show.

Oh the horror.

And by horror, I mean Billy's frightful singing and the atrocity that was Melrose Place, as well as my tv-watching taste at that time. (College dorm days, what can I say?)

Surprised me to see Elvis Costello acting as one of the many fill-in hosts for David Letterman when he was recovering from his heart attack(??). Also surprised me how intelligent, witty and utterly capable Elvis was in this role. The guy was unassumingly but definitely impressive.

No, Elvis loses me on the chorus. I'm a bad Canadian. I do not like Costello's music.

The first time I ever heard this song, it was on the radio as my new bride and I pulled into the hotel parking lot on our honey moon. Years later, after we broke up, the first post-marriage girlfriend I had was named .... Alison. So was Elvis trying to tell me something? ;-)

I once knew a girl named Angie. At one point, to be funny, I sang to her "Angie, Ayyyyyyyngie, they can't say we never tried". I expected her to roll her eyes and tell me I was the 108th guy to think of that. Turns out she had no idea what I was referring to - she had never heard the Rolling Stones song in her life! Can you imagine!


No, I cannot.
Was she raised by wolves in a cave or something?

This reminds me of the summer of '87 with many of the evenings spent in my favorite college bar. We played this constantly on one of the very early CD jukeboxes. Ahhh them memories.
