One of Costello's funniest songs... He captures the macho desperation of young teenage guys as they start putting those special hormones on. This remarkable 45 was issued on translucent orange vinyl in Belgium in 1977, with two great songs from Costello's first LP collaborating with Nick Lowe. Also remarkable is the "Mystery Dance" clocks in at only 1:36, so the mp3 snippet in our jukebox captures the entire song!
