Great stuff, but What’s So Funny… is not an Elvis song. It was originally by Nick Lowe’s old band Brinsley Schwarz.

Sorry, dude, but I disagree. It’s an Elvis song. Just like Respect is Aretha, not Otis Redding, and Watchtower is Hendrix, not Dylan. Elvis OWNS that song.

Agreed. Although it’s a Nick Lowe song, Elvis is definitely the guy who made it amazing and popularized it.

Another Great Post. Elvis C. does great covers, covers great songs, and has even done songs he wrote in the hopes that others would perform them (some did, some he did himself).
What more could you want!!!
