Elvis Costello - (I Dont Want To Go To) Chelsea

Elvis Costello And The Attractions - (I Dont Want To Go To)Chelsea.
Top Tune.
Alegedly Steven Gerrard's favorate song.

[@annieofalderaan]

My dad introduced me to Elvis when I was about 12. I honestly think he's one of the best artists from the new wave era!

[@volgie56]

***** best songwriter, ever, better then Lennon & McCartney

[@stratmad]

The Attractions are one of the most underrated bands in the history of rock, fantastic players who were more than able to hold their own behind the genius of their leader. Love them.

[@kyle8819]

I remember being 8 years old diggin a hole in my back yard and finding an Elvis Costello CD... Never been the same sense

[@splashbash]

elvis costello is sooo original. hes a legend. his music has meaning and feeling. its sooo inspiring.

[@Rozbeanz]

I thank my mother for me growing up with such brilliant music playing. (I'm 18)

[@PeterChatteris]

Ohhhhhh yeah.... the memories.... just fabulous!!

[@leeperryismerry]

'Alegedly Steven Gerrard's favorate song' THAT IS PURE GENIOUS!

[@KimiKitsch]

saw him three times and one of the best shows ever... and i'm old!

[@woofer32]

excellent song and performance, the whole album was outstanding.

[@sophie-grace9143]

"They call her Natasha but she looks like Elsie"--here is a man who is coping brilliantly with the hunt for a rhyme :-)

[@teariedearie]

"...they call her Natasha when she looks like Elsie..." - fantastic lyrics; love it!

[@radiofingernail]

No one is cooler than Elvis.

[@v1m]

I love the wordplay thirty years later. Was merely a kid when this came out and I played it over and over on my cassette recorder, singing along and trying my best to sound like EC (with a Minnesota accent, LOL)!

[@semprini20]

The Attractions were one hell of a backing band. Elvis was lucky to be able to find those players. Can't say enough good things about 'em.

[@ValeriiaJ]

I really like the instruments combination, and this dude looks so original, I like it.

[@Sharksteak_]

Elvis Costello made some impressive songs.

[@NLOsiris]

Imo the best Elvis song!

[@MysticalChicken]

This is my favorite Elvis Costello song.

[@Declan50]

Defining an era!

[@dreamer1303]

im 14 and i love this stuff and even older stuff, like aretha franklin and frank sinatra, but i'll like elvis costello and led zeppelin and miley cyrus and high school musical and the jonas brothers and paramore, and EVERYONEEE whatever your age, its greattt to like old stuff and bring it back again. but its cool to like the stuff everyone else likes too, i cant help it! a good song never dies. thats really the test, to see how long it lives for. and hes certainly lived on

[@pentura7024]

My ankle and knee joints are sore just from looking at this video!

[@gabybenjamin]

Elvis Costello is hilarious and i like his music.

[@rndmblkgrl]

I heard this song on Entourage 2 weeks ago and I just fell in love with it?! It's such a sick song?!

[@insanegogogirl]

The last time I watched this video, not a single comment was about the Jonas Brothers. Can we just get back on focus? Namely - Elvis Costello? I, for one, have started listening to him because my friend brought him to my attention. He's great! Early new wave is the way to go.

[@racecar06]

i remember a LIFE SIZE cardboard promo of Elvis Costello in stores for promotion around this time!. in exactly the same pose, with stratocaster. Identical, what a great period piece that would be now..............

[@124toeknee]

Elvis Costello is Elvis!!!

[@PeteRosenzweig]

aaaahhhhh. this is really is a definitive glimpse of EC riding the first huge wave of popularity. probably '78. promoting LP #2. all venom. all genius. and that cocked-knee dance... oh that dance!

[@FarazP]

Classic Costello. Thanks for the upload.

[@livethedream91]

BEST SONG EVER!!

[@prunesinjuice]

Happy Birthday Mr Costello

[@Kaprrricius]

My fave Costello song.

[@BrokenglasssYO]

Totally makes me smile, and laugh. i love the sound of the song. i love his style. aha, this song is fun.

[@spectrum10]

elvis is still writing great music today, I love his recent song 'monkey to man'

[@Arianna21777]

i luv this song so much!

[@nOPeaxe]

i adooooooore this song.

[@mehall89]

nice choreography! I don't want to check your pulse... *checks his pulse* ha ha, I love this guy

[@Scotty-P]

Classic! ( great hearing it at the end of Entourage too!)

[@brikfilm]

This song is beast.

[@Youdabestone]

Elvis Costello was so hot back then. Oh man

[@brhf9]

Love this song.

[@SpeedingBullet15]

he got that whole cute nerdy thing going (complement..) I love this song

[@FairfieldParlour]

He's just so...watchable!

[@thgirlinlove]

I love this song

[@alauri]

Why do folks equate growing older with selling out? Elvis is NOT A SELL OUT. He is just 30 years older. Selling out would be doing the same new wave over and over and over for 30 years to please a record company or some outside interest. All of Elvis' music is honest and true to what he wants it to be.

[@CrazyDiscotheque]

Love this song.

[@JamesFFC]

Great song.

[@aiydiwdwyaiygiwgwy]

i say once again they have the best bass beats!!

[@Cresta59]

Brilliant !!!

[@EvanSiegel54]

Elvis' older stuff had all the neurotic rage which his later more polished, PC songs lacked. This song is so packed with menace and angst, it's irresistable. Powlett is right. "I loved this song THEN and I love it now."

[@nad0491]

awsome song!

[@superstarmsn03]

At first i listened to this song becuz i heard dat Nick J. lyked it and i was lyk "WTF iz diz?!?" at 1st but da song really grows on u it's kewl n SO diff. 4rm da music dat der iz today it's awesome! Rawr ♥

[@Amarythe]

Best pope ever.

[@BobDylansPet]

i could die for this bass line.........

[@jamesqw5]

J'adore

[@MrTomb789]

absolute f**kin classic

[@JusticieroBurning]

Escupe la palabras con sarcasmo,suena a Johny rotten...tan intenso.El organo es sensacional...BRILLANTE MUSICO !

[@Townie124]

FAVROTIE SONG IN LIFE :)

[@weap4u]

I played this at full volume while driving through Chelsea

[@tootone76]

...senses working overtime

[@courtb6]

dude, this song is amazingggg(:

[@SierraG]

ii know me too! nick has amazing taste!if it wasnt for him, i deff. wouldnt have listened to this, and now i love it!

[@zx7gp]

I just saw him in a music store here in Vancouver B.C.Him a Diana Krall live here.Man he looked ruff!Ya think he would think about having a shave and a shower before going out.He looked like a rubby.I loved those first 2 albums!

[@vertrees2]

Yes I agree wholeheartedly...

[@1966425]

This song cranks and Pete Thomas is one of the greatest drummers I've ever heard.

[@kjnjonas95]

I LOVE ELVIS COSTELLO..... and the jonas brothers haha but hes reallllly good

[@courtb6]

this songgg is genius (:

[@ramoneschick1]

I Love this song, kinda surpising to say im 19..Its a very catchy song :D

[@rachel112263]

I have been trying to find this song for 20 years. I still don't know what album it's on. I bought six tapes trying to find it to no avail. I am so thrilled to finally be able to hear this song again. Thank you so much.

[@vongirl123]

i luv it

[@krissy4nik]

Eliv is was and shall forever be the epitome of cool.... for the doubters listen to alison and see if your heart doesnt melt

[@balerina4]

JB is the Jonas Brothers. They are all huge Elvis Costello fans. One of their inspirations. This just happens to be Nick Jonas's favorite song. It's also one of mine.

[@Declan50]

This was cool then, it's cool now, it'll be cool 20 years from now!

[@EricPierreCantona]

Coming soon to Luna Park, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Already got my ticket and can hardly wait...

[@jmurray1157]

Genius

[@Drexeh]

Well said old boy.

[@breezyboyat]

i love him! he does whatever the f*ck he wants and is a legand!

[@bimsie01]

Thank you.I discovered a lot of bands because another artist mentioned them.I think its cool that kids are getting exposed to Elvis because of the Jonas Brothers.They have even got kids listening to Carole King because of the Little Bit Longer/So Far Away thing.Good for them.

[@slash1wife]

because they enjoy REAL music.

[@rotolo]

perfect..

[@Pixiedustm3rmaid]

same here. i heard of him from the jonas brothers. he's pretty cool!

[@vertrees2]

These individuals who have posted negative comments obviously do not know extreme musical talent when they hear it... Elvis Costello is one of the greatest song writers of our time. In fact, the below persons are more than likely shallow, self centered individuals who can't get beyond the visual element and actually hear the feeling and what the music is getting across. Thats really to bad...

[@SurelynotTHErose]

Elvis Costello is really all I want in a man...

[@HALFAMICK]

member this one brill

[@bluextangerine]

my thoughts exactly.

[@nickjonasislegend]

I'm watching this video because Nick said this was his favorite Elvis Costello song, stop hating on the jonas brothers. They're really talented. You should be happy this video is actually getting views from us Jonas Brothers fans.....

[@mmgcash522]

YES!! :D

[@willis636]

i lol'd at the description

[@GP1138]

This was released in 1978 on the album "This Year's Model". Buy it and learn more about real music. ;)

[@CHANTYM22]

wow this is my first time listenin 2 this nd i like it!!! btw evn though i like the jobros doesnt mean that im listenin 2 the song bcuz of them.

[@thegreatmuta]

Amazing! All I need now is for somebody to post'Accidents will happen'.

[@Sashthecat]

Great vid.

[@YogurtYard]

cool!!!!

[@feefriz]

yes it does. just face it already. u can't run away from it.

[@DonnerParty1000]

2:27 Elvis Costello regenerates

[@swonetchko]

In the early 80's, the "white room" performance clip was a staple on Mtv (& something the Stone Temple Pilots made fun of it in one of their own videos), but that was before Stan Brakhage's influence set in from the late 1980's onward(go 2 IMDB or Wikipedia), so younger people look at this video & by today's standards, it does look silly, but lotsa bands did it back then. Elvis Costello's the man, though, & he has influenced a lot of what rock n' roll is today.

[@derevolutionary]

seconded.

[@modelleg]

Hasselblad!

[@chiamusics]

I've been watching "Spectacle" this week and telling people how good it is, and two of my friends (also musicians) say they can't stand him! What's going on? What is it about Elvis Costello that people don't like? I don't get it. I think he's awesome.

[@pickneydem4087]

i don't want to go to chelsea because i'm a spurs fan

[@craigthomable]

Not even to see them away?

[@MouthingWords]

Wait wait wait wait. The Jonas Brothers said they liked Elvis Costello??? Wow. My respect for them just skyrocketed.
