Favorite Elvis song

[XMcShiftersonX]

Well, my favorite Elvis song is "Baby, Let's play house"... but as far as the appropriateness of that for a class situation, hmmmm

[NbyNW]

Why not give them a few to choose from?

I gained a new appreciation for Can't Help Falling in Love after my HS choir sang the French song that it was derived from. That was a loong time ago. There's a research project for ya!

I'm with Zen - LOVE In the Ghetto.

A few years ago we were in Vegas with friends, and went to a cheesy Elvis impersonator show. My friend was ASTOUNDED that I knew EVERY word to EVERY song he sang. I grew up in a house where Elvis and John Denver got put on the turntable Sunday mornings while my dad was making breakfast .

(Yes, I know all the words to John Denver's songs, too ).

Hmm so many to choose from
1.In the Ghetto
2. Suspicious Minds (although this is a near tie)
3. Kentucky Rain
4 Teddy Bear

[PamNY]

Blue Moon of Kentucky would be my choice. Elvis doing a Bill Monroe song is cool.

[Fredwina]

or more to the point , what are you hoping to teach them? That could help narrow the list

This assignment is really going to be about exposing them to something they may not have an awareness of.

It would not surprise me if 20 of them have never heard an Elvis song and if ten of them said, "Elvis, who?"

I'm also using these writing assignments to expose them to Beethoven and Mozart.

Minus Teddy Bear your list is mine! I love Kentucky Rain, my favorite. But in the Ghetto is a seriously close second and it seems unfair to call Suspicious Minds 3rd.
