Elvis Costello

[conyoviejo]

All you Elvis fans,help needed please..I thought he did a cover version of a song by Joe Jackson called "Is she really going out with him" .Looked all over and can't find any info on him singing this song.
Think I must have been imaging it unless anybody knows any different.

[Devils_Advocate]

Same person, Elvis Costello is Joe Jackson's stage name

[gsyclaret]

somebody covered it, the cars maybe ?

[elwaclaret]

Could it be the b-side of the Two-Tone withdrawn release of I Can’t Stand Up For Falling Down?

And if so good luck paying for it

think elvis and joe appear on the same episode of one of those bbc4 'heroes' shows.

but buggered if i know.

You are off the hook with 2-Tone the B-side is Girls Talk.

Sure I’ve heard him do a cover version, so that was a good bet; could have been a foreign release: I remember the Jam hits Who Is the Five O’clock Hero and That’s Entertainment only got released in Britain because they charted of import sales…

First recorded by Dave Edmunds, but written by Elvis Costello.

I Can't Stand Up..... is a Sam and Dave original.

Hooked a couple with that one.

I don't think Mr McManus ever played this song. I've seen him a load of times going back to 1976 and never heard him play it.

[CaptainKirk]

Saw them both a long, long time ago - brilliant.
Showed a youngster a picture of him singing that song and she said he was obviously writing from experience!
Bit harsh

There is a cover version by Sugar Ray. I thought the singer sounded a bit like Costello.

[HahaYeah]

I think ISRGOWH just sounds like a Costello song and it's one of those songs that are annoyingly catchy and addictive that stick in in your head all day a bit like 'My Sharona' by Cheap Trick.
