Less Than Zero, the debut single from Elvis Costello, was released by the newly formed Stiff Records in London, England on this date.
According to Dave Marsh’s The Heart of Rock and Soul, The 1001 Greatest Singles Ever, the song is about a young couple making out in one of their parents’ houses, while 1930s British fascist leader Oswald Moseley and his sister babble poison on TV, angling for a comeback in the era of the National Front.
