New Game!

[Jackson Monk]

The new album may not be my favourite, but it has reignited my interest in the board. Time for a simple Elvis game.

Post a word to be found in an EC song and the others have to identify a song it is found in. The person who answers has to post another word and so on. Obviously you don't use words like 'the' or 'and'. If nobody gets it within a day, the question poser gives the answer and posts another worrd. No cheating. I shall start the proverbial ballrolling:

Insolent

[Who Shot Sam?]

Does it have to be the exact word or can it be a variant? For example I know "insolence" appears in "Beyond Belief."

I've seen those clowns vacant and insolent - Button My Lip

"I'm shattered like a piece of cyrstal, porcelain or alabaster"

And whilst we're in London, how about another reference to "Piccadilly?

Next word keeping this theme going of course Hammersmith - there are two but I don't want the Hammersmith Palais from London's Brilliant Parade I want a different Hammersmith

Do you lose "points" if the reference isn't unique?
He loves "shellac" - also in 45 and Stella Hurt.
