Elvis Costello on Conan O'Brien's "Secrets"

The Snoop one is pretty great too.

"I got the name Slash because I used to work in a grocery store and I was in charge of reducing prices for really big sales."

"An anagram of Axl Rose is oral sex. Why do I know? Because when I'm not playing music I love solving erotic jumbles."

"I guess you could say there are two Slashes. There's the crazy, rock-and-roll Slash, he's wild. And then there's the real Slash- he collects miniature soaps and treats his hookers real nice."

Three's Company was originally called Three Companies about a trio of pharmaceutical companies. It was ten times funnier."

Elvis isn't up yet, though.

"I got into rock-and-roll because I wanted the chicks. The Dixie Chicks."

"I got the name Slash because I used to work in a grocery store and I was in charge of reducing prices for really big sales."

"One time we played a concert in Antwerp, Belgium. At least I thought it was Antwerp, Belgium. Turns out it was a Stop 'n Shop in Wisconsin somewhere, but it was fun man."

"If I ever go bald, I'll kill myself."

"The original name for Guns 'n Roses was Roses 'n Guns, but that just sounded stupid."

"I once asked Axl why he left the 'E' off his name. He started crying and said he thought he'd spelled it right."

"Almost every night I have a dream where one of my pet snakes eats all those boys in Hanson."

"Someone once asked me what I liked better-kittens or puppies. And I said "'It's a tie man.' They said- 'Too close to call?' I said, 'No, man, too cute to call.'"

"My original nickname was 'Splash' because I loved that movie so much."

"I guess you could say there are two Slashes. There's the crazy, rock-and-roll Slash, he's wild. And then there's the real Slash- he collects miniature soaps and treats his hookers real nice."

"An anagram of Axl Rose is oral sex. Why do I know? Because when I'm not playing music I love solving erotic jumbles."

"Originally, I wanted to call the band 'Guns 'n Robots.' I still believe that if we had just called ourselves 'Guns 'n Robots' we'd still be together."

"In the original version of A Space Odyssey I sang 'Ground Control, I miss my mum. Ground Control, I miss my mum.' What can I say? I miss mum."

"I was on tour in the United States back in '89 and we did a show in Cincinnati. During that show I shouted out, 'It's great to be in Cincinnati!' That was a lie."

"The song To All The Girls I've Loved Before was actually not written for all the girls I've loved before. It was written for all of them except one, Sue Ginsberg. I told her I loved her, but I really didn't. She was nice and all that, but she was a total rebound. She had this really weird body."

"I'm happy about being a solo artist, but part of me wishes I'd never been kicked out of Devo."

"I named my dog Willie so sometimes when the phone rings and somebody asks 'Is Willie there?' I can say 'Which one do you really want to talk to?'"

"You Were Always On My Mind is actually about my house keys. You see I've never forgotten my house keys."

"If I don't get into the rock-and-roll Hall of Fame this year - it's cool. If I don't get in next year, I'll burn the place to the ground."

"My music is my mistress that- in a sense that when it is exposed in public it brings me great shame and humiliation."

Personal fave:

"I played Kip on Bosom Buddies. The funny thing is I originally tried out for the part of Henry. How crazy would that have been?"
