I P Knightley Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I hope that a small survey of JKB will help resolve a, so far, interminable discussion: If I say the name Elvis Presley; which one of his songs springs to your mind first? (And I mean Elvis Aaron Presley, the King of Rock'n'Roll (1935-1977) - I'm not starting another "Judas"/"chest-thumping" thread). Your help, dear friends, is greatly appreciated.

The Doctor Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hound Dog was the first song that came to me. I don't much like Elvis, but Love Me Tender and Suspicious Minds have something about about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Payton Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Was this just some sick practical joke to see how many people you can get to complain about having Elvis songs stuck in their head?

I P Knightley Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Was this just some sick practical joke to see how many people you can get to complain about having Elvis songs stuck in their head? I've been whistling "Suspicious Minds" all morning now... I promise it wasn't. I was having a discussion with someone who made a claim about one particular song being the one that most people would associate initially with Elvis. I thought it unlikely that there would be just the one or even that 75% of folk would gravitate towards only one and it seems that I have some evidence to support that. When you're whistling Suspicious Minds, do you do the fade out/fade back in bit? Could be worse, you could be doing Are You Lonesome Tonight - what would you do when you got to the rap bit: 'you know, zzomeone zzaid all the world's a stage....' Now, that would be sick!

Deek Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I love Elvis, and when the question came up my mind went blank, mainly due to the choices. Suspicious minds then came to my mind first but strangely enough not my fav Elvis song. But this is.
