Christmas With The King

Although this is mislabeled as 1965, it's from the '68 Comeback Special obviously. It's a classic Christmas song from Elvis, "Blue Christmas". I have this on DVD and think it was when he was at his peak, which shocked a lot of people as he was just coming off of some of his horrible movie years. The black leather, the intimate performance, the awesome vocals... it doesn't get much better than this for my money. Enjoy.

Elvis Is Girl Happy

Of course I'm still in the midst of my own Elvis week. Last night we watched Girl Happy, which is an enjoyable yet ridulously silly film from 1965. It's on of his "beach films" and it takes place in Ft. Lauderdale during spring break (sort of... you can tell nothing was really on location). The dance numbers are quite comical and there are really only a couple of memorable songs... the title track, "The Meanest Girl In Town" (also done by Bill Haley & His Comets called "She's Evil") and "You'll Be Gone". Unfortunately there's also some real forgetable stuff here as well, like "Do The Clam" (seriously), "Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce" and "Wolf Call". And I hate to spoil the ending for you, but after a big misunderstanding... Elvis gets the girl! Who knew! But hey, at least watch it so you too can learn how to do the clam. All the kids are doing it.



So to keep the week going, how about you just enjoy Elvis Presley performing "Steamroller Blues" from his legendary Aloha from Hawaii concert. For more Elvis videos visit Elvis.com.

Warden Threw A Party In The County Jail

R.I.P. Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977)... as usual I'm watching plenty of Elvis movies and listening to tunes. I've watched Change of Habit and Loving You so far, kicking in some Spinout later. We also visited famous Studio B just last week while in Nashville and sat at the same piano The King played on. Get in the mood! Watch this classic (and still one of my favorite Elvis songs) below:

Beer And Elvis?

Since I post a lot about beer, hot women and often post about Elvis as well, this video is made just for this blog I guess. Check out the cool new TV commercial for Heineken that features the great track "Bossa Nova Baby" from Viva ELVIS. The ad is now airing in Ireland. Well done Heineken! I believe I'll have one in your honor, King.
