5. I'm with you.

"Tryin' To Get To You" and "Mystery Train" are the best.

Of those listed, I'd pick "Suspicious Minds". I think it's impossible to do a bad version of that song.

7. Tough choice. I'll take "other"

My favorite upbeat song is "Jailhouse Rock."

Favorite country song - "Kentucky Rain"

But overall my favorite Elvis song wasn't one of his most famous....

"Love Me"

Treat me like a fool,
Treat me mean and cruel,
But love me.

Wring my faithful heart,
Tear it all apart,
But love me.

If you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
I'll be sad and blue,
Crying over you, dear only.

I would beg and steal
Just to feel your heart
Beatin' close to mine

Well, if you ever go,
Darling, I'll be oh so lonely
Beggin' on knees,
All I ask is please, please love me
Oh yeah

9. Loving You...

10. "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" was a great crooner love song/

slow dance.

I like the old rockabilly/ early rock songs like "Long Tall Sally" and "Shake, Rattle, and Roll" a lot, the pre-"G.I. Blues" albums. "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" "You're Right, I'm Left, She's Gone."

11. Other

High Heeled Sneaker (very obscure).

[SarahB]

12. Burning Love

Can't Help Falling in Love has always gotten to me too. Recently as lesser known song, We Can Make the Morning managed to get under my skin a bit. I like Teddy Bear also.

I like them all though as they remind me of someone I like a lot. :)
