Elvis Costello Fan Forum

Quite possibly the most beautiful song of his, in my mind or at least very close. Songs like CCIU No. 4, Suffering Face and Any King's Shilling, possibly even with I Want To Vanish is exactly where it belongs. It has achieved a place in my heart and I love it to pieces. How does everyone feel about ...

Can anyone make out what Elvis sing in the second line of meanest gal ? "I don't know who's president, ??????"

I've looked the page back and forth but it says there has been no audience recording, however I have come across various pieces of it such as It Don't Bother Me, Whose The Meanest and so forth. So does anyone officially have any other bits of the concert ? It looks absolutely fantastic !

Lol, awesome thread. I even tried to do that rat face and couldn't compare.

I know this isn't what my post was for but it's been bugging me, is Elvis bald underneath of his lid ?

Watercamp I think there's a pattern here, Sunday's Best sucks hard and so does Gloomy Sunday.

Agreed but It's on of those EC songs you have to be a true fan to appreciate.

Does anyone dislike Hurry Down Doomsday ?

Lol I believe this thread is about what the title includes, not a how much Elvis do you know thread. But yes that is quite the list. By the way what's your least favourite EC song Bronx ?

Wait people hate Alibi ? Since when ? I love that track.

As well all know there are wayyyy more great ones that ones that "didn't reach their potential" but what one, for you sucks to listen to. Personally I can't stand 'Eisenhower Blues' it makes me just pissed to listen to and everything about it spews terrible garbage.

Is there by any chance a video for this or a wiki page ? I don't mean to be ungrateful but I want more of this song lol I don't know why but I fucking love it.

I think it's more to the effect that, and we on this board might not want to admit it but Elvis isn't and never has been as widely loved musician. And he just cannot compete in popularity and seats sold as say Drake, Katy Perry or Justin Bieber.

I have a creeping feeling that my amount of songs he's covered don't even scrape the surface. ;(

Yeah I searched and searched and it comes to find this is damn near impossible.

Could you point me to this 'Georgia' cover ?

Thanks for that but I do have that, I posted up links to that a while back on here but it must've been deleted.

I have scaled my EC catalog quite a few times and I decided it's time to find some new (technically old) songs to listen to. Any suggestions ?

Also be reminded I am a HUGE Elvis fan like the rest of you so rarities would be appreciated.

You get the chance start looking into the bonus editions of albums, then eventually give the bootleg menu a look. Unwanted Numbers is great for that.

That constant up down little melody that sounds like it's from Tetris and that god forsaken starting part of lyrics. I much rather prefer the "Everyday I see a rich man in a poor man's disguise, whose counting on the future while the past plays on his mind."

You can find it on MAIT or just download off the internet although I don't condone it.

That the demo version of Living In Paradise is a great song and that the album version on TYM is possibly the worst song on the album.

Yeah, but he is Elvis Costello.

It says there was a performance in Australia in April, is there a recording ?

That... Was... Awesome !
