Happy Birthday to The King

Google "The King" and this is what pops up...

 

Is he drooling after eating a dexedrine cocktail? The Colonel would like to have a word.

 

Fave King tune? Hmmm, maybe "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck". His live version of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" (from the That's the Way It Is movie) is tremendous.

 

I think you are jumping to conclusions in at least one case, Drip.

 

What do you mean would have been? He's still alive, dammit!
(/end psychotic fan rant)

 

Are you trying to say that something's wrong with Nicolas Cage?

 

My favourite Elvis hit song is probably "All Shook Up."

My fave Elvis performances (he lip-synced to his own recordings) are "Mean Woman Blues" in the film "Loving You" (in the juke joint, where he followed it up by punching out the creep who had pressured him into singing) and "Trouble" in "King Creole" (sneering at Walter Matthau from start to finish).

 

Thank you. There's only one king on this island, and his name ain't Elvis.

 

To put in perspective how much jack his music made: He was rich beyond belief despite being screwed by Col. Tom Parker, despite having written very few of his songs by himselt, and despite never being allowed to tour outside the U.S.

 

Elvis is Everywhere...

 

Too many great Elvis songs to pick just one as a favorite.
