Costello, Elvis - Pump It Up Lyrics

It was quite listenable until 'Elvis' opened his gob and started braying like a gravely injured donkey

Yo hold up, is this the guy my mum told me just had seizures on stage or whatever

シーソーゲーム

Love it

i come from two and a half men :)

Malcolm brought me here

When heading into a steep mogul field, crank it!

I wonder if he messed up his ankles and feet for life after this.

you can practically smell all the amphetamines that went into the production of this song through the screen and i'm not mad about it

Fodaaaaa

We need an electric blue jacket like that.

My mother and fathers friend Hughie could dance on his ankles like this rate up until he was 70years old... Awesome song an' cool moves there Elvis :)

This Year’s Model had the perfect blend of Pop and Punk.

Great video. EC's Imperial Bedroom is in my all time Top 10.

Buddy Holly on acid backed by The Fall - it doesn't get much better than this!

I loves me some cheesy organ... And this is mighty cheesy.

I love this song and performance so much. About those unbreakable rubber ankles: https://books.google.com/books?id=hO6MCgAAQBAJ&ppis=_e&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q=ankles&f=false

When Seinfeld is high and feelin geeky freaky with a guitar 😎😎

Is that Buddy Holly reincarnated ❓

ジョジョに出てきそう　マンインザミラー辺りで

I remember thinking back when I first saw this video - what was up with the ankles thing?
Well, whatever it was, it worked for whenever I hear this song, my first thought is 'ankles'.
Also, I REALLY liked/like the song.

Subterranean Homesick Blues tranform into the 70΄s

Watch this just for those crazy legs....

Why does this sound like Rogue Traders Voodoo Child?

He looked like Woody Allen on acid back in 1978.

Fantastic! I wonder who in their right mind could give a thumbs down to this?

Those soap bars ❤️

I just realized Escape Clubs ' song "Wild Wild West" sounds exactly like this. Did they just rip this song off?

Gar brought me here!

What's a tiger?

A man that can move his legs like this, can rule the world.. Go,Go Dec....

This was just featured on DC Titans , made the scene a whole lot better!

Elvis Costello, along with Nick Cave and Madonna is far too cool to be cool. That bass and organ riff to this song is legendary - wonder if anyone can do a mash-up of this song with The Rogue Traders' Voodoo Child? :-)

The only reason I am here. Gar. 💚

I saw Elvis Costello live last night with my Dad, and we had VIP passes and got to meet him !!! He was so nice and cool!!! A moment I will remember forever..

Titans S2E9? :D

Titans S2E9 and Voodoo Child brought me here.

Made Gar's scene a lot better didn't it :)

me also.

I danced like this in a club once, I was surrounded by paramedics, they thought I was having an epileptic fit....

Even better than Mudhoney's cover

Am I the only one that thinks Elvis Costello and Lenny Kravitz sound very similar in terms of their voice?

I'm here for the Costello moves 😊

There's a song released in Australia in the late 1980S with a vocal line very similar to the start of this song it's called the Wild wild west.

Great video. This man achieved one of the greatest moments on live tv when he appeared on SNL, began to play Less Than Zero and then stopped-telling the audience that song really wasn't for them but this one was: And then launched into Radio Radio.

Love it a great one to add to your rebounding playlist if you're into it like me🌟😀

this song reminds me Hermes... i dont know why : /

Know it’s probably simple ... what are the chords to this atrocity?

Cool!! 🤓

Fucking powerful

oops, I'm wrong here..

LOVE THIS!!!!

Malcolm in the middle?

Why does this sound so familiar

Most people: good song
Me: *ermes costello*

Fuck the ankles, decent rock.

Elvis Costello aka Mr. Elastic Legs!🔥

Clearly going for that retro rock n roll look, but just slightly exaggerating it to the point of ridiculousness

the best new wave !

going to see him in november in orlando, can't wait

Why doesn’t this song have a Billion views? It’s so good

Look up Roy Orbison black and white night song move on down the line. Elvis holds his own with organ...always makes me laugh when he plays with elbows

geek rocker

Brought me here

Moby's book 'Then it Fell Apart' sent me. Although I have heard this song before

I feel like this could easily be a cover song by rocket from the crypt

1:15 did he cabbage his Jazzmaster volume pot during the shoot?

Buddy Holly on speed!

Rip Elvis Costello's Anciles

One of my favourite Elvis Costello songs!
Soon as I heard it I thought of the song Voodoo Child!

Them shoes are F ing with him...nobody need it....

check the wee man dancing, gawn yerself wee Elvis mark 2 😉💖🇬🇧

got a nervous teenage twitch

She's been a bad girl, she's like a chemical, though you try to stop it, she's like a narcotic...

Insanely good..

remember dancing to this,some twat called an ambulance!

My ankles hurt just watching this great video.

How can his ankles withhold the leg movements

When I need a ridiculous 70s bass line to lift my spirits, I go to this or The Real Me by The Who

HA HA HA! ON THE MORNING PKAY LIST B4 SCHOOL... I WAS 16 SOUTH WEST OF SYDNEY. THANKS 2JJ FOR YOUR INPUT!

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

Two and a Half Men (2x01) , brought me here.

The good old days when my friend and I cut out guitars and performed ‘air guitar’ in the lab we were working in when our professor entered and invited us to continue to ‘Pump it up’. Great times.

just AWESOME 😎

Creellboys

Brilliant.
Not sure if the keyboard player is playing the keyboard or attempting to make love to it!!

454 people really DO need it!

Alguien viene por Malcolm in the middle? Jajaja

This reminds me of the time a friend of mine used a sticker to multiply the amount of arms she has

This song makes me dance.💃

Anyone agree with me that "Allison" is Mr. Costello's lamest tune? I totally do not get that one. I especially couldn't understand why Linda Ronstadt covered it; how could that be performed by a woman?

Just in case it's not obvious, this tune is about masturbating with a blow-up doll! ".though you try to stop it she's like a narcotic.....all the things you bought for her. ]from the bargain bin] .could not get a temperature..." IOW the object of his affections isn't warm blooded.

Bass line!!!!!

pump your blood pressure elvis u go boy
{me when dont make sense}

You can tell this song inspired at least a dozen pop songs into the 80's and 90's. Elvis Costello is a legend.

Every person in this video has the coolest image of all time

Elvis is the King!

Boring repetitive song.

Your opinion. This song is great!

@Ironinquisitor
Not, it truly is a boring repetitive song.

@hyena131 Again just your opinion. This song is better than a lot of crap today.

@Ironinquisitor
Oh no. It's fact. costello the charlie chaplin of pop music - massively over rated. And you've just exposed yourself as a wallowing in the past dinosaur. Which was neither surprising or didn't take long...:)

No it's not fact. It's your fucking opinion. Learn the difference between the two terms smartie. I never said Costello was the greatest either. Oh look at your pathetic attempt to insult me! Not gonna work sorry I'm not a dinosaur I'm 22 in fact. And may I ask one thing? If you hate this song then why the hell are you even here in the first place?
