Yeah, and thanks to being farking awesome.

Elvis? Ugh. Yuck.

I hear that the Beatles are supposed to catch on big over there someday.

Elvis >>> Beatles

Its just that simple.

Awesome!

public enemy sucks!

From an Avid BBC Radio1 listener: "THAT SONG IS FARKING AWESOME!"

Elvis Costello is #1 again? Cool.

(Obvious, but someone was going to make the joke, might as well be me.)

What is the singles chart anyway? Do they even sell singles anymore?

Then again, BBC Radio1 plays a whole lot of Eminem, so one must question thier taste from time to time.

The King is still alive.

Pubic enemy uhhh.... drawing a blank there.

Great, what's next? John Denver?

Nike=evil...and they sell funky shoes? Can anyone over 25 even legally wear them now?

Elvis was just a chart-friendly whore like me.

Elvis? Who is that?

I'm glad the article states at the end that Elvis is dead, just incase anyone didn't know that.

Elvis Rules!!!

Elvis Sucks!!!


bla bla bla, have a nice thread

Wasn't there a song about Elvis by Living Colour as well?

THIS is how pathetic current music has become? A number one single is a song that features NO instruments, a song performed almost 50 years ago, and some studio wizardry that came about as a multi-million dollar campaign to sell soccer apparel? Damn, people are sheep, especially British people, I've noticed. They gave us the Spice Girls and "Pop Idol."

Why can't terrorists strike the Grammys?

thats cuz their stupid thats why.

Ok, it's a "dance remix" of an old obscure Elvis song. I don't think that really qualifies as something that should be attributed to Elvis. Elvis would be rolling over in his grave... if he were really dead, that is.

"bla bla bla, have a nice thread" - The_marq you crack me up!

That's far superior to Fb-'s paternal complex or the terrorists winning - it's user-friendly!

BTW, I love Elvis but almost everything he put out post-1960 (including this song) is pretty lame.

Elvis sighting... Sitting on the crapper in the Piccadily Circus tube station

Yeah, GurneyHalleck, that's what I was trying to say...

Is that the commercial where Figo, Ronaldo, Zidane etc, are all playing futbol in the cargo hold of some boat?

I don't really understand that one.

Good song though, Elvis is the King!

Some techno crap and a dead guys voice. Thats the sophisticated English charts for ya.

What? No link to the MP3? Reuters finds a new way to disappoint me every day...

I can't wait till he's on "Becoming..." on MTV. Or Cribs. Or Behind the Music. Or he's a guest VJ.

elvis, white trash
elvis, the memphis smash
elvis, would have been a sissy w/out johny cash
elvis eat america before america eat him

First his daughter marries Michael Jackson, and then they add techno beats to his tunes. What next mass-marketing of Elvis related merchandise????

uh actually this was on the ocean's eleven soundtrack before it hit the nike commercial. but nice rant eyeballkid, let's go buy some hemp clothing.

[i]I said, Elvis Presley ain't got no soul (huh)
Chuck Berry is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the Rolling Stones
But they ain't come up with that style on they own (uh-uh)
Elvis Presley ain't got no SOULLLL (hell naw)
Little Richard is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the Rolling Stones
But they ain't come up with that shiat on they own (nah-ah)

Guess that's just the way shiat goes
You steal my clothes and try to say they yo's (yes they do)
Cause it's a show filled with pimps and hoes
Tryin to take everything that you made or control (there they go)
Elvis Presley ain't got no SOULLLL
Bo Diddley is rock and roll (damn right)
You may dig on the Rolling Stones
But they ain't the first place the credit belongs[/i]

Yeah, his daughter is a wacked out Scientologist slut, but Priscilla is pretty cool. Performed one of the best lines in a movie -

Priscilla's up on a ladder getting something...A stuffed beaver falls in Drabin's hands

Drabin (looking up)- "Nice beaver!'

Priscilla - "Thank you, I just had it stuffed"

Classic

http://www.nikefootball.com has the commercial. it's pretty sweet. too bad nike soccer products are garbage.

There was an interesting article I read in a trade mag recently that Elvis' estate is working hard to make the King relevant (aka marketable) to a new generation. I guess the median age at Graceland visitors is getting precariously high, and they know if they want the franchise to have a revenue stream, they need to recast him. Hence the multinational corporations working with the estate to insinuate themselves into pop culture together.

It's only gonna get worse as corporations commission artists to promote their stuff, kinda like the church did in its heyday. You can always tell what evil organization is running things by looking at who gives the most to the arts and to politicans to promote their own causes.

elvis evils

I saw Elvis in the Walmart parking lot last weekend. He gave me the toy from his happy meal.

Elvis is the king, therefore, he rules.

I can't wait for the "Crap on the John" remix...

MY EYES! IT BURNS!!!!!

A little less conversation a little more BOOBIES

Otisburg: Where did you find the song to download it?

Elvis was farking awesome before he got fat and did drugs. He wasn't racist, I'm not sure where that shiat came from.

Jokestress is right. Note the new Disney movie "lilo and
stitch" with prominent use of the King's music etc. Not
that I mind, being a big fan of His work. In fact, I see
it mutating into a religious movement, as more years pass
since His demise. Think of the Elvis impersonators as a
sort of quasi-priesthood.

Anybody remember an album called "If 60s Were 90s" by a
group called the Beautiful People? Along similar lines, it
consisted of electronic remixes of Jimi Hendrix. Pretty
good LP...I think Jimi himself would have been amused.
