Great song, Daniel! I still remember the dance scene in the film with this song in it, VERY cool! Holds up, even now! Sorry about my comments yesterday, I don't think Elvis is "square" now, I appreciate his music very much! The Beatles loved him (well John did too but said he "sold out" after he went into the army, lol) so he is VERY influential, and his impact can not be denied! Merry
it's ok Merry...I wasn't a big fan of Elvis at first...I love the version of Heartbreak Hotel at the comeback special...Anyone seen it?

Jail House Rock - The #1 song in the nation when I was born!

Cool song to be #1 when you were born.

In less than five minutes, thieves swiped $US325,000 ($A439,783.50) worth of Elvis Presley's jewellery and kitsch. But the Sunday night heist at the Elvis-A-Rama museum left behind a million-dollar gem: the King's blue suede shoes. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/03/18/1079199360878.html

Yesterday`s song of the day: That`s Alright Mama- IMO the best debut single ever. Today`s song of the day: Heartbreak Hotel- one of the best-produced records ever

Another great rocker Hound Dog

1. I love the '68 Comeback version of Heartbreak Hotel. 2. It's sad about all that jewelry. 3. I always thought it was a myth that Elvis owned an actual pair of blue suede shoes.
