This Year’s Girl – Elvis Costello

The soul-infused Get Happy!! would be the first, and_along with King of America_possibly most successful, of Costello’s many experiments with genres beyond those he is normally associated with. The single, “I Can’t Stand Up for Falling Down” was an old Sam and Dave song (though Costello increased the tempo considerably). Lyrically, the songs are full of Costello’s signature word play, to the point that he later felt he had become something of a self-parody and toned it down on later releases; he has mockingly described himself in interviews as “rock and roll’s Scrabble champion.” His only 1980 appearance in North America was at the Heatwave festival in August near Toronto.

In 1981, the band released Trust amidst growing tensions within the band, particularly between Bruce and Pete Thomas. In the U.S., the single “Watch Your Step” was released and played live on Tom Snyder’s Tomorrow show, and received airplay on FM rock radio. In the U.K., the single “Clubland” scraped the lower reaches of the charts; follow-up single “From a Whisper to a Scream” (a duet with Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze) became the first Costello single in over four years to completely miss the charts. Costello also co-produced Squeeze’s popular 1981 album East Side Story (with Roger Bechirian) and also performed backing vocals on the group’s hit single “Tempted”.
