It ’s Elvis ' seventy-fifth natal day ! I ’m certain he ’s out there celebrating somewhere with aFool ’s Gold sandwich . To celebrate his natal day here on the _ dental floss , we thought we ’d forego the kilocalorie and crack out some rather interesting cover version of his songs instead . The King had such a large repertoire ( many of whichhecovered ) that his songs have been covered by everyone from Andrea Bocelli to the Dead Kennedys " “ here are 10 of the more challenging ones .
1 . Viva Las Vegas , the Dead Kennedys . If you ’ve seenFear and Loathing in Las Vegas , you ’ve belike heard it , and if you have n’t , here you go :
2 . All Shook Up , Billy Joel . It was on theHoneymoon in Vegassoundtrack for you rooter of pre - sex activity and the CitySarah Jessica Parker .
3 . Are You Lonesome Tonight , Sam Kinison . I think you ’ll be surprised at first :
4 . Ringo Starr , Do n’t Be Cruel.(Also : Neil Diamond , Cheap Trick , Blondie and Devo . Definitely an eclectic group . )
5 . Fools Rush In , Bow Wow Wow . Yep , the " ˜80s band behind " I Want Candy,“ which was also a cover vocal .
6 . Heartbreak Hotel , Dread Zeppelin . possibly you have n’t hear of Dread Zeppelin , but they voice reasonably entertaining " “ they ’re a reggae band with an Elvis imitator for a lead singer . And Bill Clinton did his version on the saxophone when he famously played onThe Arsenio Hall Showduring his presidential effort .
7 . In the Ghettois another one that has been covered by a wide range of creative person , include The Cranberries , Leatherface , Three Six Mafia , Natalie Merchant and Merle Haggard .
8 . Jailhouse Rock , ABBA with Olivia Newton John and Andy Gibb . Also : ZZ Top , Twisted Sister , Miranda Lambert , and Motley Crüe . But you live you ’re the most curious about ABBA with ONJ and Andy Gibb ! It starts at 7:10 " ¦ I wo n’t make you sit through the first seven minutes like I just did .
9 . Suspicious Minds , Fine Young Cannibals(“She Drives Me Crazy" ) .
10 . Hound Doghas been covered by a lot of masses over the years , include John Lennon , Jimi Hendrix , and John Entwistle of The Who . But the ones that sound the strange to me are Robert Palmer and James Taylor . I happen to learn James Taylor do his version last year , and I in reality enjoyed it quite a bit . I ca n’t vouch for Robert Palmer ’s !
