Baby I Don't Care
You don't like crazy music.
You don't like rockin' bands.
You just wanna go to a movie show,
And sit there holdin' hands.
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.
You don't like hotrod racin'
Or drivin' late at night.
You just wanna park where it's nice and dark.
You just wanna hold me tight.
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.
You don't know any dance steps that are new,
But no one else could love me like you do, do, do, do.
I don't know why my heart flips.
I only know it does.
I wonder why I love you, baby.
I guess it's just because
You're so square.
Baby, I don't care.

Ik heb al tijden geen Elvis meer gedraaid eigenlijk, weet zo ook niet wat ik het beste nummer vind...
Van de meest bekende nummers van hem ga ik voor 'Blue suede shoes'...
Overigens, vandaag is Madonna's verjaardag!

Elvis-beeldje in Deurne huilt weerHet Elvis-beeldje van Elvis-fan en imitator Toon Nieuwenhuisen uit Deurne huilde vanochtend weer. Er verscheen vocht onder de ogen van het beeldje. Het was één natte boel, want ook op de foto's in de woonkamer zat vocht.
Vijf jaar geleden haalde Toon Nieuwenhuisen het wereldnieuws met zijn huilende Elvis-beeld. Zijn slaapkamer werd een waar bedevaartsoord. Afgelopen jaar huilde Elvis vijf keer en haalde zo het Guiness book of records.

op de een of andere manier heb ik de neiging om elvis te vergelijken met de beatles, en andere muziek uit de jaren 60 en 70 (ik vind ook dat er in de jaren 80 voornamelijk schijtmuziek is gemaakt) ik vind Elvis een te zware of droge stem hebben die me het bloed onder de nagels vandaan haalt, en heb het eerlijk gezegd niet zo op de vage heupdansjes 
(sjees! ik lijkt wel een der veranwoordelijke ouders uit the sixties! )
Verder vind ik de nummers gewoon 'niet klinken' maar een mening is een slechte onderbouwing... onderbouwen waarom een bepaalde muzieksoort niet deugt, lijkt me redelijk onmogelijk, ti's gewoon een gevoel
