THE SONG:

“Veronica” is a song by Elvis Costello. It was released in 1989 as the lead single from his album Spike. The song was co-written by Sir Paul McCartney and was the first to come from McCartney and Costello’s co-writing relationship. “Veronica” was co-produced by T-Bone Burnett and Kevin Killen and features McCartney on his iconic Höfner bass. “Veronica” has been Costello’s highest charting single to date, peaking at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100. He explained to NME in 1996: "As soon as you make a record, particularly if it becomes a big success, it doesn't belong to you anymore, it's that 'Wah Boo!' situation. I did this show with Steve (Nieve, Attraction's keyboardist), and I changed the key and the whole song changed completely. Suddenly I didn't have to think about the record. It went back to why I wrote it, how I wrote it about my grandmother and it really meant something to me" Link to OfficialVideo
