“Whats So Funny About Peace Love & Understanding” by Nick Lowe.
I liked the way Elvis Costello did the song. It’s interesting when a very good songwriter covers another very good songwriter. Because, sometimes another a songwriter can recognize the heart of the matter. See, it really is a case of “the musical question”. It’s all in how you ask the question.
Elvis is more confrontational. It’s a, “you think that’s funny man?”, loud argument sort of way. Nick Lowe is asking you like he really wants the answer.
The clip is from the Jimmy Kimmel Show, 2007.
