I’ve been watching Lois & Clark the New Adventures of Superman as well as Stitch lately, and both of the shows reminds me of Elvis. (Cuz the character Perry White from Superman and the doggy-alien Stitch adores Elvis)
And like Stitch and Perry… I love the King too. The King had such a strong voice, and all of his songs are memorable and evergreen. They are just timeless. I grew up with his songs, and I remembered dancing on my father’s feet to those songs when I was just a little girl.
My all time favourite from the King himself are the songs below. Just like Stitch and Perry. My my… why the hell am I not some fictional character? I shared quite a lot of traits with a lot of fictional characters!
Hound Dog
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
[instrumental interlude]
Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
[instrumental interlude]
Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Ya know they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
You ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
Cryin’ all the time
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
You ain’t no friend of mine
Fools Rush In
Wise Men say
only fools rush in
but I cant help
falling in love with you
Shall I stay
would it be a sin
if I can’t help falling in love with you…
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darlin so it goes, somethings are meant to be..
Take my hand, take my whole life too
for I can’t help fallin in love with you…
Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darlin so it goes, somethings are meant to be..
Take my hand take my whole life too for I cant help
falling in love with you
for I cant help falling in love with…… you.
Heartbreak Hotel
Well, since my baby left me,
Well I found a new place to dwell.
Well It’s down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel.
Where I’ll be…
I’ve been so lonely baby,
Well I’m so lonely,
I’ll be so lonely I could die.
Oh although it’s always crowded,
You still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers
To cry away their gloom.
They’ll be so…
They’ve been so lonely baby
They’ll be so lonely,
They’re so lonely they could die.
Now, the bell hop’s tears keep flowin’,
and the desk clerk’s dressed in black.
Well they been so long on Lonely Street
They never ever look back.
They’ll be so…
And its so lonely baby,
Well they’re so lonely,
Well they’re so lonely they could die.
Well, if your baby leaves you,
And you got a tale to tell.
Well just take a walk down Lonely Street
To Heartbreak Hotel.
Where you will be…
You’ll be so lonely baby
Where you’ll be lonely
You’ll be so lonely you could die.
Oh although it’s always crowded
You still can find some room.
For broken hearted lovers to cry away their gloom.
They’ll be so…
They’ve been so lonely baby
Well they’re so lonely
They’ll be so lonely they could die.
Do you have any particular favourite from the King? 😀
Cleffairy: Can you hear me singing a medley over here… “You’re nothing but a hound dog, barking all the time… but I can’t help, falling in love with you… Well just take a walk down Lonely Street… To Heartbreak Hotel… They’ll be so lonely they could die….!” God forbids my world from drowning… hahaha… I don’t think my voice could actually sound like a sweet siren that could lead the sailors to their deaths. My voice can be likened to a toad. *ribbit… ribbitt… * (Kiss me and I’ll turn into a princess? LMAO! Gee… I can go on and on and dream!)
Ah…Can’t help falling in love – I sing that at weddings! Btw, should suggest a friend of mine to you on Facebook – a die-hard Elvis fan and Elvis impersonator. Will be going to KL…for some Elvis impersonators’ show or something.
Gosh… you really got the guts to go and sing in public ah, Cikgu. I can never do that, though I wish I have enough courage to do so. LOL…
Ooo… Elvis impersonator? I tot they’re all in Vegas! Malaysia oso got ah?
I love Elvis’s song… hahahah… so meaningful and sounds so nice. Nothing compares to the original. I find some of those modernization are somewhat… awkward.

My voice like katak. I wun dare join you, Claire. Later you will bully me into singing. Boohoo.. I sked malu~
OH GOOD!!!! i love that Hound Dog song by Elvis…I listened to it all the time when I’m rushing for my projects and so on..lol
