Default I corrected my Typos, dear Mod!
I've been meaning to comment for several weeks on Bulldog's excellent old thread! I hope he comes back to MB and finishes it.

One reason I first looked at this thread is that up until around 2 months ago, I thought Elvis Costello was some crooner from the 40s who had died decades ago. Then I noticed someone on MusicBanter listening to him, and read up a bit and learned...he's ALIVE!!

So far I don't care much for his songs that I've heard, although he has a nice crooner voice...maybe *too* pretty, warbly, and old-fashioned sounding for my tastes. Still, I've been listening to his newest album, National Ransom, to try to decide what I think. I don't like any song on it--too folksy, not rough enough, and lacking punch--except for one that appeals to me a bit because of the playful, light, bouncy melody:
