Elvis makes me swoon. Not only Costello but Presley. I consider myself an Elvis fan. I know alot about him, spent alot of time in Memphis and alot of time at Graceland.
"Got Alot Of Living To Do", is from the film Loving You. Not the biggest of the Presley films, most notable was the silly red kerchief in the promo poster.
It's songs like this with the plucky bass that make me literally tremble and not in a G rated way either. There something about the crashing snare of 'rockabilly' that just symbolizes being up to no good.
This is the original bad boy music. Hes not screaming hes not cursing but hes suggesting and I cant imagine a girl declining.
Its time we start appreciating the King again.
Enough jokes enough Burger King references. This guy was amazing. You can go through the Colonel Parker gags, or fried banana nonsense, but you cannot say that Elvis Presley was anything short of insane.
Pure raw sex appeal with a simple hip move. Try that now? We're too jaded. Sex appeal is the size of the package or the burst of a cleavage or mannerisms so suggestive theres no need to use imagination. Elvis got filmed from the waist up, times have certainly changed.
I love this song. I wish there were more times where I'm reminded me of why music means everything. A small boy from Tupelo rocks this jaded girls world nearly 55 years later.
That's not music, that's magic.
