I heard this song first thing this morning and as I got out of bed I smiled. It was playing on my iPod, which I use as an alarm clock because I simply cannot stand the radio. Can't stand the top 40, bored of classic rock radio, and every other format is way worse.
Anyway. I love this song. I love the urgent organ riff and the sneering pissed-offedness in Costello's voice, as he articulates (verbosely) the problems he has with radio programmers ("I wanna bite the hand that feeds me / I wanna bite that hand so badly!" being the classic line.) This is one of those great songs where it all comes together.
