Accidents Will Happen is another great one so I edited the poll to include it, so I apologize if it looks weird coming after the 'other option. :)

Agreed - Accidents Will Happen. I also enjoy Oliver's Army and Radio Radio.

'Watching the Detectives' was Costello's first ever chart single in Canada where it reached #60. He would not chart again here 'Everyday I Write the Book' in 1983 which was his first ever US Hot 100 hit
My favourite 70s Costello song has always been 'Pump it Up' :)

All good stuff from the man...
But odd, especially in this day and age, how 'Oliver's Army' brazenly used the 'n' word, yet never had an issue with radio play... ???

Oliver's Army is my fave. It refers to Oliver Cromwell, but in 1986, I re-appropriated it for Oliver North!
