Have I mentioned that words absolutely freaking fail me?

I've loved this clip for ages! Surprised it never made it your way until now.
I'm surprised too.
Wow. And a great version too! Declan looks just like his dad.
And they have the same stage moves!!! 😎
He also recorded as "Day" Costello (wth?) and recorded "Long and Winding Road" under this name. Look to the internet for a Swedish release with picture sleeve. He looks like a cross between Colin Blunstone and Austin Powers.
I remember an interview with Elvis saying that due to his dad's profession he got Beatles acetates (used as demos for Joe Loss) )before they reached the general public.

I think I first saw this on Stephan Colbert show. I think it was about the time Elvis released his memoir. Always a good time to see.
I'm speechless. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Reminds me of Peter Sellers with a dash of Monty Python
