I suspect that it has to pre-date Costello. I am going to check some sources later on.

Dunno! But I'd like to add Brian Eno to the long list of (mis)attributions.

Honestly, the first person I heard it attributed to was Martin Mull.

When I went to the Cold War Modern exhibition at the V&A last year they had a film of Russian propaganda that involved lots of people waltzing inside a brand new towerblock while singing a song about how everyone could own their own kitchen. So that was dancing about architecture. It was awesome.

The answer is definitively Martin Mull. See OT: We Hear from Martin Mull.

Crazy! And good to definitively know this :)

don't know if it's been mentioned but lots of 60s "postmodern" dance was site-specific, thus often very much about architecture...sorry declan!
