Well, a lot of people wrote songs about Elvis... which is your fav?

I really like Robbie Williams' "Advertising Space"
YouTube - Advertising Space - Robbie Williams
Although the song always makes me really sad... but I think there's a lot of truth in it.

I'm not a fan of Lisa Marie in any way but if I had to choose I guess 'Nobody noticed it' would me my favorite song about Elvis.

Have to agree with "Black Velvet"...a great song,and it does it all without being too sentimental and corny...which is always the danger with these kind of songs. Even though it`s not strictly about Elvis I also love the song "Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohen.(y)(y)(y)

I only know three songs about Elvis:

"Nobody noticed it" & "Lights out" from Lisa Marie.
And the song "Walkin´ in Memphis" from Cher.

"Nobody noticed it" is my favourite.

Could some of you post videos to all the songs you know, please? I would like to hear what people sing about Elvis.
