Omaggi Musicali Ad Elvis Presley

[hurt]

Ho pensato di aprire questo topic per inserire tutti i video di altri cantanti e/o gruppi che hanno inciso un brano in omaggio ad Elvis (no cover)

Se riusciamo a rintracciare anche il testo della canzone, credo possa diventare una cosa molto carina. Che ne dite?

Io dò il via, poi continuate voi

Walking In Memphis -Cher



Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then i'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
Boy you got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Advertising Space - Robbie Williams



There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in your heart
When it stopped going
the whole world shook
a storm was blowing through you
waiting for god to stop this
and up to your neck in darkness
everyone around you was corrupted
say something

there's no dignity in death
to sell the world your last breath
we're still fighting over everything you left..oh

I saw you standing at the gates
when Marlon Brando passed away
you had that look upon your face
advertising space and

no one learned from your mistakes
we let our profits go to waste
all that's left in any case
is advertising space ooh

through your eyes the world was burning
please be gentle I'm still learning
you seemed to say as you kept turning up
they poisoned you with compromise
at what point did you re-alise
everybody loves your life but you ah-ha

a special agent for the man
through watergate and vietnam
no one really gave a damn
Do-you think the CIA did

I saw you standing at the gates
when Marlon Brando passed away
you had that look upon your face
advertising space and

no one learned from your mistakes
we let our profits go to waste
all that's left in any case
is advertising space ooh

oh.........oh
...ahhhhh...
oooh oooh
oooh oooh

no one learned from your mistakes
we let our profits go to waste
all that's left in any case
is advertising space ooh

I've seen your daughter man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
boy she looks a lot like you

Calling Elvis - Dire Straits



Calling Elvis
Is anybody home
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone

Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number
Heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender
Baby don't be cruel
Return to sender
Treat me like a fool

Calling Elvis
Is anybody home
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone

Why don't you go get him
I'm his biggest fan
You gotta tell him
He's still the man
Long distance baby
So far from home
Don't you think maybe you could put him on

Well tell him I was calling just to wish him well
Let me leave my number
Heartbreak hotel
Oh love me tender
Baby don't be cruel
Return to sender
Treat me like a fool

Calling Elvis
Is anybody home
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone
Did he leave the building
Or can he come to the phone
Calling Elvis
I'm here all alone

Graceland Paul Simon



The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guitar,
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war,

I'm going to Graceland
Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland,

Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage,
But I've reason to believe
We both will be received
In Graceland,

She comes back to tell me she's gone,
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed,
As if I'd never noticed,
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead,
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody sees the wind blow,

I'm going to Graceland,
Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland,
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we are going to Graceland,

And my traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties,
But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland,

There is a girl in New York City,
Who calls herself the human trampoline,
And sometimes when I'm falling flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Whoa so this is what she means,
She means we're bouncing into Graceland,
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
Everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody feels the wind blow,

In Graceland Graceland,
I'm going to Graceland,
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
Graceland,
And I may be obliged to defend
Every love every ending
Or maybe there's no obligations now,
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received
In Graceland

(Pause)

Woah in graceland graceland graceland
i'm going to graceland

Old Friend - Bill Medley (es Righteous Brothers)



Questa canzone è stupenda, ma non trovo il testo, per postarlo.

Se qualcuno mi aiuta magari, altrimenti cercherò di farne una stesura, perchè contiene parole bellissime

Ci provo, Hurt, ma non ho capito proprio tutto (fa schifo l'audio del mio computer):

Old Friend

Don't be cruel, teddy baer
dancing tips and long black hair
you crossed my mind today
Las Vegas Hotel, Graceland
a sweet young daughter
and a million fans
old friend, you touched my heart today.

And I listen to you in the still of the night
open to your voice and you're all right
I close my eyes and open my soul
touch the king of rock 'n roll
old friend, it's good to hear you once again.

You shook us all up, you loved us tender
caught us in a trap, we all surrendered
aha, oh yeah, loving you
don't, don't .....?
I'm falling in love with you
I happen to sit down with your records on
seven sad years are suddenly gone
I get you in young, it doesn't seem fair
would it be heal if I could have been there
old friend, my heart is crying once again.

Trapped here on
your mother is free
a lonely pain
we refused to see
old friend, you touched my heart today
old friend, I'm missing you once again
I'm missing you once again.

[françois]

Bellissima l'ultima canzone.

Hey Elvis won't cha come back home

Everybody knows about your pink Cadilac
Everybody's wonderin' when you're comin' back
Everbody's waitin' just to hear ya sing

Hey Elvis won't cha come back soon
Nobody's rockin' in the jungle room
Come December don't know what we'll do
Be a blue Christmas [without you
Everybody knows about your pink Cadilac
Everybody's wonderin' when you're comin' back
Everbody's waitin' just to hear ya sing
Hey Elvis, You're still the king

Love Me Tender - Don't Be Cruel

Everybody knows about your Lisa Marie
Everybody knows about TCB
Everybody's waitin' just to hear ya

He Was The King - Neil Young



"He Was The King"

(Okay, we're gonna start with a... Uh...
Start with an F. Just ride in on the F.
Maybe that's a good way to start.
Or maybe the D. Whaddya think, Ben?
- Uh, the F sounds good...
- Just like a...)

The last time I saw Elvis
He was shooting at a colour TV
The phones were ringing in the pink motel
And the rest is history
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was singing a gospel song
You could tell he had the feeling
And the whole world sang along
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was up on the silver screen
Pushing a plough in a black and white movie
And everybody started to scream
Yes, he was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
It was some kind of Vegas dream
Spotlights flashed on a silver cape
And a blue-haired lady screamed
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis
He was fronting a three-piece band
Rocking on the back of a flatbed truck
With an old guitar in his hand
He was the King

The last time I saw Elvis

The last time I saw Elvis
He was riding in a pink Cadillac
Wind was blowing through his hair
And he never did look back
He was the King

Thank you very much

The last time I saw Elvis
He was singing that gospel song
You could tell that he had the feeling
And the whole world sang along
He was the King

He was the King
He was the King

(- Elvis has left the arena
- But he was rocking while he was getting out.
- Oh, man, you blew me right outta my seat when you said,
"Thank you very much." I almost stopped playing!
- "Thank you very much." etc.)
