Pump It Up
Elvis Costello And The Attractions
Paul Gambaccini
Having the third best single of this week is no insult. After an intro not unlike those of the Spencer Davis Group in its prime, the Attractions join in on the title and Elvis captures a Sixties r&b feel in his voice. The beat is steady and prominent, the repeated instrumental section between the verses clever. The performance is always entertaining, the only flaw being that song itself is not especially strong. Then again, not being especially strong is a flaw only when everything else is.
