"You're no Jesus...


...Yeah, you're no fucking Elvis" Incubus- Megalomanic, 2004.


Today is The King's birthday. If he was alive (or is he?) Elvis would be 73. I was 4 when he died so this is not the place to look for Elvis knowledge. I have none. But in honer of his birthday, let's quote some songs with "Elvis" in the lyrics.

"Elvis was a hero to most, But he never meant shit to me you see, Straight up racist that sucker was simple and plain, Mother fuck him and John Wayne" Public Enemy- Fight The Power, 1989

"Cause Junior's still living in the blackboard jungle with his Elvis Presley hair" Leon Russell- Shoot Out On The Plantation, 1970

" And Maria came from Nashville with a suitcase in her hand, I always kinda sorta wished I looked like Elvis" The Gaslight Anthem- High Lonesome, 2008

"I don't believe that Elvis is dead" Bush- Everything Zen, 1994

How about Walking In Memphis from Marc Cohn? Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland, then I watched him walk right through.

One of my favorite song!
