elvis costello’s ‘monkey to man’

July 14, 2008

Elvis Costello = still hot. Especially with his recent music video Monkey to Man, which is just full of bouncing babes in retro bikinis! And I mean bouncing — there are some seriously Russ Meyer camera angles in this video… and it’s super extra double plus fun. Not unfun in the least. Interestingly, I was going to embed this from YouTube but the quality was so poor (I don’t want you to miss a jiggle, dear readers) so I poked around and found this embeddable MTV version, introducing me to MTV’s high quality embeddable music videos. Cool! (PS, beware of annoying postroll ad.)

Update: A reader just commented that viewers outside the US can’t watch the MTV video, they “get a notice that ‘Copyrights restrict us from playing this video outside the U.S.’” Now that’s the lamest thing I’ve ever heard of. Okay, maybe not the lamest thing *this month* but it’s up there… Here’s another version:

Oh, how I love Mr. Costello! One of the best live performers I’ve ever seen. Thanks for posting this – the song and video both rock!!

The shot where the guy in the gorilla suit has his gorilla head off just might upset the kiddies. It sure upset me ;-P

But f.y.i. we readers outside the US can’t watch this (get a notice that “Copyrights restrict us from playing this video outside the U.S.”)

National restrictions on internet content never cease to annoy the crap out of me, no matter who’s doing it.

Gawd! The EC link is still playing…I’ve been in love with Mr. Costello for sooooo many years. Thank you.

BTW, will keep reading for next round of interview requests. I don’t do the virtual world of sex but have some interesting poly experiences.

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been a huge fan of his for years and this vid was hilarious. Loved the minxy,curvy,muscular babes romping around! (I suspect Mr. Costello did too!)
