    Clean Up Your Own Backyard

    Hello everyone!

    I think this is a great song, and i like it!
    Think this is a good song for the todays music!
    What is your opinion?

    Hehe, all of the movies are not so good, but the songs are not so bad, like this one!

    IMO its by far the worst movie he ever did, but what makes any of it redeeming
    to me is that song. Its fantastic and preformed well .

    This is one of my favourite songs. Love the bass line, slide guitar and soulful backing vocals. If I had to make a 'Best Of The Late 60's' album, this song would be on it, along with:

    • Clean Up Your Own Back Yard
    • Change Of Habit
    • If I Can Dream
    • 68 Gospel Medley
    • Let Yourself Go
    • Guitar Man
    • Big Boss Man
    • Hi Heel Sneakers
    • A Little Less Conversation
    • Memories
    • Plus of course the cream of the American sessions.

    Mac Davis was a co writer on that. Mac is a great songwriter. Everyone knows he wrote "In the Ghetto" & "Don't Cry Daddy" But he wrote many great songs for a lot of artists. Not to mention the hits he had of his own songs later.

    I love it, too. And it would be a great song for a campaign.

    I think it's interesting which Elvis songs actually have turned up in campaigns during the primary season. Mitt Romney has been using A Little Less Conversation as a theme song, and I heard An American Trilogy during one of Mike Huckabee's appearances. I haven't heard any Elvis songs during any of the Democrats' appearances, but then they have their own Elvis, LOL ("Elvis" was Bill Clinton's Secret Service codename).
