“Pump It Up” is a song by Elvis Costello. It originally appeared on Costello’s second album This Year’s Model which was the first he recorded with The Attractions. Costello frequently uses double entendres in his songs and “Pump It Up” is a good example of this, with the lyric “Pump it up” being used to mean both turning up the volume on the music as well as masturbation. The story in the song is about the narrator’s sexual frustration at the hands of a femme fatale who’s described in the lyrics as being “a bad girl” and “like a narcotic.“ “Pump It Up” was written in reaction to the excesses of the Stiffs Live Tour. http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/the-spirit-of-stiff-records-lives-on-773546.html Read on...
