Elvis Costello Watching The Detectives 1977 Liverpool, August 2ndNice girls not one with a defect,cellophane shrink-wrapped, so correct.Red dogs under illegal legs.She looks so good that he gets down and begs.[Chorus:]She is watching the detectives."ooh, he's so cute!"She is watching the detectiveswhen they shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot.They beat him up until the teardrops start,but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.Long shot of that jumping sign,Visible shivers running down my spine.Cut the baby taking off her clothes.Close-up of the sign that says,"We never close"You snatch a tune, you a match a cigarette,She pulls the eyes out with a face like a magnet.I don't know how much more of this I can take.She's filing her nails while they're dragging the lake.[Chorus]You think you're alone until you realize you're in it.Now fear is here to stay. Love is here for a visit.They call it instant justice when it's past the legal limit.Someone's scratching at the window. I wonder who is it?The detectives come to check if you belong to the parentswho are ready to hear the worst about their daughter's disappearance.Though it nearly took a miracle to get you to stay,it only took my little fingers to blow you away.Just like watching the detectives.Don't get cute!"It's just like watching the detectives.I get so angry when the teardrops start,but he can't be wounded 'cause he's got no heart.Watching the detectives.It's just like watching the detectives.

1977 - Elvis Costello and the Attractions appear on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" in place of the Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols could not get visas to enter the U.S.A.And this was the first single credited to Elvis Costello and the Attractions.#dapimusic #mymusichangout #newwave #reggae #elviscostello #saturdaynightlive #onthisday #onthisdate

No, that's why the and is there. Some just like to criticize. This is Youtube, (comma) for crying out loud!

Maybe he was thinking that you could consider a comma after "unique", because the second part of the sentence has a new subject (no one). Personally, I don't think your original sentence is a problem.

One of my all time favorites. The song feels so claustrophobic that during some sections I get this feeling like I'm suffocating.

What are you talking about, what other punctuation is needed? Why are you giving mr grief? I didn't realize I'd run into the grammar police, I'd better watch out, huh?
