just throwin' this idea out
Elvis should do an album of KISS covers. I can just hear songs like Calling Dr. Love, Love Gun, Shout It Out Loud, etc.

Like the Latino TYM, re-record Mad About The Rwong Boy but overdub Elvis' voice - you know it makes sense!

Nellie the Elephant - he's said he sung this regularly to his newborn twins and the "My Darling Clementine Songbook".

Re: just throwin' this idea out
Now you guys are just getting ridiculous. Why would he stop making his own music to do this? I know it is all hypothetical, but why?

Easy Fred....i think we are all bored to tears and just looking for any little pastime to amuse us a touch. Yeah, i took it over the top with a whole lp request. But perhaps there is a song you would like...he does covers WONDERFULLY most everytime we know. Best. Bennyfred darden wrote:Now you guys are just getting ridiculous.

Re: just throwin' this idea out
Agree that we are all bored out of our respective skulls and looking to each other for a bit of a laugh or a distraction right now. Well - technically I'm in a Zoom meeting, but nobody can see me typing, can they?bronxapostle wrote:I think we are all bored to tears and just looking for any little pastime to amuse us a touch.

But with complete and sincere respect to everybody else in the thread, one problem could be that it simply degenerates into each of us yelling out the name of a favourite LP or a favourite artist. How about making it a bit more specific?
What if Elvis was going to record a 4-track EP of covers as a give-away with his next LP. Which four tracks would you want? Ideally by four different artists. And because this is a fantasy project, we can set it in a non-Covid world, and you can therefore have any combination of backing bands/backing musicians you want, for each track.

Re: just throwin' this idea out
if you say so Hawk....but, i was not being facetious, I CAN HEAR E singing most of this lp.
i do like your idea, but as i talk too much i will not name four; just the one. and i will go to my long time favorite concept of an out and out 2 1/2 minute onslaught by the full band, of course, of URIAH HEEP: EASY LIVIN'

Re: just throwin' this idea out
Meant nothing against Dan Fogelberg. Good high school, college memories. Remember the band America? Loved them in high school, but can't imagine Elvis doing Ventura Highway or Horse with No Name.bronxapostle wrote:Easy Fred....i think we are all bored to tears and just looking for any little pastime to amuse us a touch.

Challenge accepted !!
1) Closer To Believing - Greg lake -- Costello and Nieve with maybe EC arranged string and woodwind accompaniment
2) Surrender - Cheap Trick -- + The Attractions
3) Slow Down - Larry Williams - The Confederates
4) From A Buick 6 - Bob Dylan --- The Attractions
Great fun this, I could probably come up with thousands if given time !

Great choices. All the time you need, brother, keep 'em coming. My first stab...sulky lad wrote:Challenge accepted !!

1) (inspired by your choice of Slow Down): I've Changed My Address (The Jam) - EC and The Attractions. I love Bruce Foxton to bits, but our Bruce could knock that bass part out of the park.
2) I Close My Eyes and Count to Ten (Dusty) - yeah, I know, obvious choice. Elvis and Steve, of course. The piano part.
3) Small Bones (Courteeners) - kills me every time, but to hear Elvis breathily intoning 'when she's asking me to dance'...' (probably the Brodskys).
4) Tower of Song (Leonard Cohen) - a great joke, and OK, Len got there first, but it would still be fun to hear Elvis have a crack at it. Elvis solo, naturally, leaning right into the microphone.
