Under Lime



That pencil sketch at 2:20 comes back in light color at 2:30 and looks quite dashingly bold at 3:34!

Who is Maurice Worm (4:35)? That's none other than Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame pianist, Stephen John Nason. Stephen is better known to Elvis Costello fans as Steve  (what's a "groupie"?) Nieve! A man of many names, Stephen is also known as Steve A'dore (get it?), Norman Brain, and yes, Maurice Worm.

Credit for the video's artwork is given to one Eamon Singer (0:10), who also produced the video for 'Unwanted Number'. Elvis fans will remember paintings by this artist appeared on the inner sleeve of his 1984 album 'Good Bye Cruel World' and on the cover of his 1986 LP 'Blood and Chocolate'. If you liked those paintings, you'll love the cover of 'Look Now'.



Who is Florence Lacy (0:38)? Who, indeed!

The character at 2:00 is reminiscent of the chap on the cover of 'Imperial Bedroom'.


The Imperial Bedroom cover is a painting titled "Snakecharmer & Reclining Octopus" by Barney Bubbles (but credited to "Sal Forlenza").
