Don't get the wrong idea; he's one of my favorites, but until he recently started including the printed lyrics in his albums, I had a tough time. Particularly disturbing since he writes great lyrics. For example, on his classic first album there's a song titled "Less than zero", in which Elvis sings something like "Hey, Hoo-ray". If anyone out there can figure out what I'm talking about, and has a guess about what he's saying, I'd be interested. Or even if you just have some other good Elvis mis-quotes... By the way, for those of you who think that the other guy is the real Elvis, ask yourself, would anybody with class make a movie called "Kissin' Cousins"? - Glenn Bruns
