One song 2 Artists, Elvis Costello vs Brinsley Schwarz....
What's so funny about peace love and understanding.
Originally written by Nick Lowe on the album of the same name by Brinsley Schwarz in 1974
The Elvis Costello & the Attractions version was first issued as the B-side of Lowe's 1978 single "American Squirm" credited to "Nick Lowe and His Sound". At the time, Lowe was Costello's producer, and he produced this track as well. When the song became a hit, it was quickly appended as the last track to the US edition of Costello's album Armed Forces. It has appeared on most of Costello's "Best of..." compilations over the years. It has also been covered by many, many, many artists
