Elvis Costello Fan Forum's Top 50 Elvis Costello songs!
And another big thanks to Blue Chair for doing this....
And yet I'm another person who never quite figured out why "Beyond Belief" is such a huge fan favorite (even my friend who basically dropped EC with Imperial Bedroom loves that song!)

AH HA! this proves my anti-clubland conspiracy theory. what happened to cbartal's clubland vote hmmmmm?so lacklustre wrote:Clubland was joint 53rd, only 3 people out of 42 voted for it (oily, bambi & crash).
and i'm confused. bluechair is getting all the props and so lacklustre appears to have done all the math (which proves he is a geek, not poser after all). unless they are the same person . another conspiracy (or i missed something again). lack chair lustre so blue. i mean, baby plays around is on the list...
I'm not concerned about the very poor.

Well, in wehit's defense, it would be a little weird to be clothed in the shower. If anyone has watched "Arrested Development" on Fox and encountered David Cross's "never-nude" character, Dr. Tobias Funke you've seen an all to frightening represenation.wehitandrun wrote:*EDIT: nudity is a very elvis thing to be.

On the other hand, it's interesting that he felt the need to make special mention of his nakedity. I'll let the psychologically astute types among you speculate on that one. Also on the idea that being naked is "very elvis." It's more "very Red Hot Chili Peppers" or maybe "very Jonathan Richman" but not so much EC, who's never even done the shirtless rock star thing, thanks be to Jehovah.

Elvis in Short Sleeves . . .
I think this is the only picture Ive ever seen where he's wearing short sleeves . . .
As a Southern Californian, I don't really really consider wearing short sleeves or short pants in any way "naked. But, somehow, EC does look a bit naked there, doesn't he, somehow. Like a plucked chicken. Shorts would be weirder, still. I guess it's just the novelty. Like my long-time bespectacled friend who recently swithed to contacts. It's been months and it still doesn't seem quite right to me.

What appalls me is the word "nakedity." Bobster, everyone knows it's nakeditude.
And just what the hell does this mean?

So, he doesn't have scales under those all those long sleeves, after all. Has anyone ever seen him on stage in short sleeves? I can't contemplate short pants.
pip, thanks for the picture. Two pair of dark glasses and a duck. I know I never leave home without 'em!
