Comment:

Elvis Presley and David Bowie share a birthday, January 8th. I've been threatening to make this mix for years. Yes, the Elvis songs lean toward the lightweight, not particularly good movie songs, but I actually find them to be a lot of fun and they work better in this particular context than the far superior Sun Studios songs would. I only wish I could have fit "Clambake" and "Do The Clam" on this, but I would've been up all night trying to figure out what Bowie songs to pair them up with.

Crazy! What a great mix and great idea! But no 'Fame/Fame & Fortune' combo?

I was looking through some old mixes and caught yours...fantastic! The London, Vegas, Detroit, Aculpulco portion is my favorite part.
