Information About

Oliver's Army




The "Oliver's Army" single (with a b-side of Costello performing " My Funny Valentine " solo) peaked at #2 on the UK charts. It was recorded at Eden Studios in West London.

During the recording of ''Armed Forces'', the incomplete "Oliver's Army" was nearly dropped from the album, but was eventually kept after keyboardist Steve Nieve created a piano part for the song that was reminiscent of " Dancing Queen " by ABBA .

The song has been covered by a large number of bands, including Blur , OK Go , {Link without Title} and Belle & Sebastian .
