which one would he have done?

I reckon Shine a light is a good one, Wild Horses and Miss you also. Perhaps none of the 'drugrelated'songs like Brown sugar and Sister Morphine....

The lyrics of Shine A Light wouldn't sound right coming from Elvis. "When you're drunk in the alley.."

i always think about that!!! he did ''yesterday''i would have liked memory motel sung by the rockin machine(the king was still alive!) angie...YGAWGWYW (maybe to left wing foo the king?)
what about gimme shelter wow!! that would be strange!!
of course ''I got the blues '' is the winner!!!......and Dance sister dance!!....in this modern age why cant we hear how this would have sounded? intresting indeed!

I got the blues is a good one indeed! Elvis should have done a bluesalbum (just like Elvis Country) with that song on it!

"Some Girls"

"No Anchovies, Please"

comming down again

That's a good suggestion; I Got The Blues - it would've been perfect for Elvis

Elvis was a fantastic blues (and soul) singer (as well as mastering pretty much any other style of singing), so he could have handled any Stones song in that musical vein.

'I Got the Blues' is indeed an interesting choice. A nice big soul ballad.


There was a guy from Belfast who made a few records about 5 or 6 years ago, calling himself "The King". For some bizarre reason he was quite big in Eastern Europe. He was an Elvis impersonator who released two albums ("Gravelands" and "Return to Splendor") which consisted of him as Elvis covering songs by dead artists. As the Stones 'qualified' because of Brian Jones' demise, he did a cover of 'Sympathy for the Devil''....!

That wasnt actually one of the better ones, but some of the covers were pretty enjoyable.

Here he is doing Nirvana's "Come as you Are".... I love this.





("ah swear that ah dont have a gu-hu-hun...")

It would make us cry....cheeers!!

Somehow, I just can't picture Elvis singing that
line about black girls.

Did Elvis ever have any explicit lyrics in his catalog?

maybe someone on tell with a great elvis voice...is willing to sing''blues'' for us??!! while the guitars weep!!

That's quite funny and enjoyable! Loved also 'Elvis sings ACDC'

And elvis never did a disco tune....of course not!

Salt of the Earth might of worked

long long while.....blue turns to grey

Something like this?

One night of sin, yeah
Is what Im now paying for
The things I did and I saw
Would make the earth stand still

And from Shake Rattle And Roll:
Well, you wear low dresses, the sun comes shining through
I can't believe my eyes all that mess belongs to you

Those lyrics sure beat the song 'I love only one girl':
In Naples there's Maria how she can cook and flirt
You can't beat her lasagna, I eat until I hurt
And then she tops it off with "amore" for dessert

I would say those lyrics might be controversial
to some people, especially fifty years ago, but I
would not consider them explicit.

Blue Turns To Grey?

I think the most explicit (or political) song Elvis recorded was In the ghetto. Other than that, not really explicit songs by Elvis.

jesus...elvis doing...let it loose..now that would be something

Country Honk for the album Elvis Country?

Always found "Power of My Love" to be dirty,
as it sounds like Elvis is singing about something specific... :

"Oh break it, burn it, drag it all around
Twist it, turn it, you cant tear it down
Cos every minute, every hour youll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love

Crush it, kick it, you can never win
I know baby you cant lick it
Ill make you give in
Every minute, every hour youll be shaken
By the strength and mighty power of my love"
