From "The Book of Irrelevant Elvis Lists". John Battles.
1. Psychedelvis - "The Edge of Reality" (Accompanied by a dream sequence that's really a trip sequence in the movie "Live a Little , Love a Little".).
2. Elvis does Chuck - "Promised Land".
3. Elvis does Bo - "Marie's The Name (Of His Latest Flame)", "Do The Clam".
4. Elvis Does Jackie Wilson - "Return To Sender" , "Don't Be Cruel" (Million Dollar Quartet that's really a trio tapes.).
5. Elvis does him some greasy R'n'B and Blues - "Down in The Alley", "Reconsider Baby" , "Trouble".
6. Elvis does Dylan - "Tomorrow is a Long , Long Time" , "Don't Think Twice , it's alright (A perfect post - breakup version , it's a nine minute long putdown.).
7. Fuzztone Elvis - "Slowly , But Surely" , Wolf Call" , "Never Say Yes" (Also Elvis does Bo.). Honorable mention -"Steamroller Blues" (Fuzztone trumpet.)
8. Elvis goes Glam - "Way Down".
9. Most Rockabilly Elvis , post - Sun Records - "U.S.Male" (Gene Vincent : "It's just like the old PURE stuff !").
10/ Most Garage Punk Elvis , hands down : "Long Legged Girl (With The Short Dress on)".
11. Proto - Ramones Elvis - "You're So Square (Baby , I Don't Care.) . The great Bill Black could'nt get the bass line the way Elvis wanted it , so ELVIS played it instead. "Take it , EP - One - two - three - FOUR !".
12. Why Jerry Lee Lewis showed up at Graceland with a gun - Elvis cut "T-R-O-U-B -L-E" before he could.
