Original - Elvis Presley The span separating these two songs could only be measured in parsecs.

You know, I once heard of a guy who once made the Kessel Run in 12 of those. But, yeah, this is an easy vote for the King.

Original - Elvis Presley

Well, inevitably, there are reasons why somebody -- be it a singer named Presley; an artist named Kirby; or a softball pitcher named Feigner -- is dubbed "The King."

This here's a pretty good example.

Even so, I would have enjoyed hearing Motley Crue do the number in concert, though probably not as much as I enjoyed hearing these guys perform it...

That said...

The Original -- The King, please!

Both are pretty solid, but it's Elvis man.

Does that explain Jerry Lawler?

Sometimes I can tell when somebody thinks Andy Kaufman had it coming.

I think this might be one of those times...

Elvis' original for me.

What, no Motley Crue fans out there? Where are all our headbangers?

Well, I wanted something that was going to be different enough from Elvis’s original to give people a real choice. I do know there are some people out there that don’t appreciate Elvis. (Heathens.) As for me, I appreciate him. Go Elvis.

I enjoy Motley Crue, but when Elvis was young he was a powerhouse and he was also, .......well Elvis. Thanks for the selections!!

My vote is for the Original - Elvis Presley.

Headbanger here, but the cover can't touch a classic like this. Elvis.

I'm sure we could have found a better cover then Motley Crue.

Elvis gets my vote here.
