    Jailhouse Rock
    All Shook Up
    That's alright now mama


    I even like his campy version of My Way

    The other day a song was repeating in my head and the only part I could remember was "hamburger medium rare....".

    After much thought I finally figured out it came from a version of "Old McDonald" that Elvis sang in one of his movies.




    Old Macdonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o
    And on that farm he had some chicks, ee-i-ee-i-o
    With a cluck, cluck here, a cluck, cluck there
    Loud as they could be
    And when those chicks got out of line
    Chicken fricasse
    With a cluck, cluck here, a cluck, cluck there
    Loud as they could be
    And when those chicks got out of line
    Chicken fricasse

    Well, Old Macdonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o
    And on that farm he had some cows, ee-i-ee-i-o
    With a moo, moo here, a moo, moo there
    Cattle everywhere
    And when those cows got out of line
    Hamburger, medium rare
    With a moo, moo here, a moo, moo there
    Cattle everywhere
    And when those cows got out of line
    Hamburger, medium rare

    Ohh, Well, Old Macdonald had a farm, ee-i-ee-i-o
    And on that farm he had some pigs, ee-i-ee-i-o
    With an oink, oink here, an oink, oink there
    Pigs everywhere in sight
    And when those pigs got out of line
    Pork and beans at night
    With an oink, oink here, an oink, oink there
    Pigs everywhere in sight
    And when those pigs got out of line
    Pork and beans at night

    Well I'm goona have a farm one day, ee-i-e-i-o
    And I'll do things McDonalds way, ee-i-e-i-o
    With a cluck, cluck here, a cluck, cluck there
    A moo, moo here, a moo, moo there
    An oink, oink here, an oink, oink there
    And I can promise you
    If those animals ever get out of line
    We'll have a mulligan stew
    How about you?

    it's tough to listen to elvis songs as they have morphed into caricature. the culture of elvis makes it difficult to hear them objectively. i have to be in the right mood to listen to the king. when i am in that mood i usually throw on suspicious minds- great song. there is a great cover vesion by fine young cannibals that fans of the song should check out.

    Well Freddie Mercury does sorta sing like Elvis on that song...

    Plus I knew you would have to like some Elvis stuff since you are such a big fan of the demonic Elvis aka Glenn Danzig. ;) :cool:

    I absolutely love the original Misfits and the first 3 Danzig albums, but I can't stand Elvis.

    Not an Elvis fan. Eddie Murphy did a great job of spoofing him in Delirious. :D

    Well, I went crazy and bought some box sets that include almost all of his songs from the 50's and 60's plus all the best stuff from the 70's.

    More favorites:

    "Tiger Man" (version from the 1968 Comeback Special)
    "Guitar Man" (remix version from 1981 with new guitar licks by Jerry Reed)
    "Make the World Go Away" (awesome cover of country song by Eddy Arnold)
