The Friday Canon: ELVIS aka THE MONSTER TICK FEST

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

EVEN MORE TICKS THAN CLIFF. Jebus, Mr Presley was a busy bunny! In the first 3 years of his career he released 25 hit singles! And I'm sure he would have kept churning them out at a rate of knots if he hadn't joined the army/made a bunch of rubbish fillums/et less burgers.

I've left off the re-issues but there's still hella-ticky under the cut. You have THIRTY FOUR ticks to show your Elvis love. Uh-huh-huh!

I'm surprised by these people not ticking Always On My Mind, but Jailhouse Rock is far and away the best record on this list.

Anyone who actually manages to tick 34 of these put your hands up.

I always tick the exact number,is this wrong? It seems a shame to waste the tickies.

I don't think I got to 34 even by ticking ones with enticing titles like "Do the Clam"

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Do The Clam sounds grebt! I am imagining it being from one of his Hawaii films.

I hope it is a cousin to the magnificently WTF "Song Of The Shrimp"

You can see it on youtube. The song is very very dull, but the Clam is hilarious. You can see why it never caught on as a dancecraze.

I ticked exactly 34 on my first pass, and went with it. Could have ticked another couple too, but knew it would be tricky in places and restrained myself.
