Sulky Girl

"Sulky Girl" is a song written and performed by English new wave musician Elvis Costello, that was first released on his fourteenth studio album, Brutal Youth (1994). The song was one of those on the album that featured Costello performing with his longtime backing band the Attractions, who reunited during the course of the album's recording. As such, Costello singled out the song as an instance of the band's ability to play loudly and aggressively.

"Sulky Girl" was released as the first single from Brutal Youth in February 1994 and became Costello's highest charting UK single in eleven years, although Costello chalked up this success to successful promotion by Warner Bros. as opposed to organic commercial appeal. The song's classic Attractions style garnered the song critical acclaim and the song has since appeared on Costello compilation albums.
