Girls Talk (Elvis Costello song)
"Girls Talk" is an Elvis Costello song. Originally written for Costello's 1979 album ''Get Happy!!'', the song was later recorded by Dave Edmunds and Linda Rondstadt. Edmunds' version peaked at #4 on the UK Singles Chart.
==Background==
As with many of Costello's previous songs, it is tricky to ascertain a particular meaning, as his lyrics are replete with such double meanings as "though you may not be an old-fashioned girl, you're still going to get dated".〔Robert Palmer, Anthony DeCurtis, ''Blues & Chaos: The Music Writing of Robert Palmer''. 2009. p.291. "'Alison' was a hit for Linda Ronstadt, and Dave Edmunds also scored a hit with a Costello song, 'Girls Talk' ('Though you may not be an old-fashioned girl, you're still going to get dated')."〕 However, in the liner notes for the 2002 Rhino reissue of ''Get Happy!!'', Costello stated that the record was about women's gossip, and that it had been donated to Dave Edmunds "in a moment of drunken bravado".
Released in June 1979, Edmunds' version charted at #4 on the UK Singles Chart, spending 11 weeks on the chart. It was his final top ten hit in that country, and began his album ''Repeat When Necessary''. Costello's version, however, did see the light of day when released as the B-side of his single I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down,〔Franklin Bruno ''Elvis Costello's Armed Forces'' 2005 p.132 "This was another Stax cover, Sam and Dave's "I Can't Stand Up for Falling Down," backed with "Girls Talk," a song EC had given away to Dave Edmunds (whose version hit #2 earlier in the year)."〕 and was a fixture of the set lists for his tours for some time after it was recorded.
