Declan Patrick MacManus (born 25 August 1954), better known by his stage name Elvis Costello, is an English musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer.

“Pump It Up” is a 1978 song by Elvis Costello and the Attractions. It originally appeared on Costello’s second album This Year’s Model, which was the first he recorded with the backing group the Attractions. Written as an ironic response to his time during the Stiffs Live Tour and inspired by “Subterranean Homesick Blues” by Bob Dylan, “Pump It Up” features a stomping rhythm and ironic lyrics.
