I was just about to comment about his funky ankles. I was reminded of how great this song was when it was played in the background of an AFV montage.

My dad never used to want to put his stress and worry on his kids, so he never let on when his job got him down or bills were hard to pay. Instead he would play this song at full blast and dance through, singing at the top of his lungs till me and him both had huge smiles on our faces. I didn’t know this till years later, and to this day I still play this when I need to de-stress

Ehh…for newer generations that were either born after or didn’t hear this song growing up, Olivia’s song is probably sick, but for people who heard this song all the time, on the radio, on MTV, in bowling alleys, at the mall, wherever, to hear Olivia's version, it’s like…”Uhhh, is Elvis okay with this?”. I don’t quite think Olivia understood just how popular that song used to be. She probably thought it was either not very well known or that it’s been long enough where people have forgotten it and that enough people had never heard it before so it would be okay to copy and no one would be the wiser. That was a mistake. She's just too young to realize that most people on this planet were alive long enough to hear this song. She’s honestly luck af that Elvis Costello was kind enough not to sue the shit outta her, cuz other artists like Katy Perry have been successfully sued for millions for copying only a teeny 7 note section of another song let alone the entire thing. It really is just Elvis’ instrumentals with Olivias voice over it with maybe a few little changes but if we’re gonna be honest here, it’s the same song. Lucky girl.

God bless Elvis Costello. Also, Olivia doesn't make the beats of the song. She just writes the lyrics and sing it and a producer makes the beats for her.

Whenever he would be taking care of my sister and I while my mom was running errands he'd put this song on the stereo and all of us would just spaz out. We'd pillow fight, wrestle, tickle torture, and chase each other throughout the house. Those were the simplest, yet funnest times of my life. My dad is gone now, and although I've been depressed ever since his death I can't help but have the biggest smile on my face hearing this song and have those memories rushing back to me after so many years.

It also inspired Voodoo Child by Rogue Traders. When the part kicked in at 0:15, it instantly reminded of Voodoo Child because it's so similar.

The album this year's model was phenomenal !

Everytime I hear this song I get ALL PUMPED UP. Another good, classic hit which I enjoy listening to. This song is full of energy.

59 people couldn't pump it up when they didn't really need it.

I certainly know this song well but I don't think I ever saw this video. Good Lord, what a ton of youthful energy from Elvis and the Attractions. Great stuff.

All i have to say is i like this song one of my favourites from this band this song it's got rhythm for white brother's

This is one of my favorite albums and the bass playing is just awesome!

Malcolm in the Middle: Season 3, Episode 2. At first, I thought this song was released right around the time this episode came out. Boy, was I wrong.

While everyone is pointing out Elvis' feet no one is talking about Bruce's right hand. Is that a boxing glove?

Bruce Thomas bass player! I think he is an overlooked, by many, great player!

One of the greatest singles ever released. An amphetamine hurricane of a song.

Both Letterman and Colbert said in interviews that he was their favorite guest. Cool guy , intelligent , and really funny - and didnt mind coming in at the last minute to fill in for a guest that didnt show up. And did I mention he is an awesome musician. They dont make those anymore.

There’s plenty of amazing musicians around! If you’re looking for newer rock bands, check out Shame and Squid for some more classic post-punk stuff, Black Midi’s new album is like a fusion of King Crimson and Zappa, and Black Country, New Road’s album is amazing too

This song , and video change my life forever. I was soon listening to more and more punk music, and still go to punk shows today. Thank you Elvis.

A great track from my youth that I still love to blast out when I'm driving in the car by myself. Fantastic.

Perfect example of being far better than what's required.

I recently discovered this song and its crazy that my favorite new song is from 1978!
