CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:strange both you and Music Head both said "elvis' siganture song"?????...i dont subscribe to that view, and always thought Suspicious Minds was his 'real' signature tune, but hey SteveO, each to their own...if you asked 100 people you'd get 50 different answers re:Elvis Presley
I can't decide between the two. I would say that Love Me Tender is his signature song but Suspicious Minds is my favorite.

either "if i can dream","you gave me a mountain" and probably "it hurts me" would be my favourite Elvis tracks
i simply dont rate Love Me Tender as a great Elvis track and have never looked at it as being "iconic elvis", anyway I AM the Elvis fanatic here and you guys are way off the mark!!!! LMAO

#441 - Wilson Pickett - Mustang Sally - 1966
running recap for me - 3's=30, 2's=22, 1's=8
this one - ***
from the album: various compilations
Written by Mack Rice
Produced by Jerry Wexler
Chart action: #23 US, #28 UK
the players:
Wilson Pickett: vocals
other people playing things
Never could decide which version I liked better, Picketts or the Rascals. I love them both. The Rascals
claim they recorded it first. Both being on the same label, Atlantic decided Wilson's got the single while
the Rascal's versin was a b-side for Good Lovin'. It was first recorded by writer Mack Rice, making it to
#15 on the r&b chart in 1965. This version went to #6 plus a crossover to the pop side at #23. Wilson
Pickett was inducted into the R&R Hall Of Fame in 1991.

Lyrics
Mustang Sally, guess you better slow your mustang down.
Mustang Sally, guess you better slow your mustang down.
You been running all over the town now.
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
One of these early mornings, oh, you gonna be wiping your weeping eyes.
I bought you a brand new mustang 'bout nineteen sixty five
Now you come around signifying a woman, you don't wanna let me ride.
Mustang Sally, think you better slow your mustang down.
You been running all over the town now.
Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.
All you want to do is ride around Sally, ride, Sally, ride.

soul music in its most ragged edgy form IMO, classy stuff from my favourite 'soul man'(but Otis comes a close 2nd)

#440 - Led Zeppelin - Ramble On - 1969
running recap for me - 3's=31, 2's=22, 1's=8
this one - ***
from the album: II
Written by Jimmy Page, Robert Plant
Produced by Jimmy Page
Chart action: non-single
the players:
Robert Plant - vocals
Jimmy Page - guitars
John Paul Jones - bass guitar
John Bonham - drums
Haven't heard any Zep in awhile. This one works. Most do. This is worth a love for the Gollum reference
alone. Jimmy Page says after reading Tolkien, he was inspired to move to the country. During the groups
second US tour, time out was taken to record this classic in NYC. The song was seldom played in the groups
concerts. I see where Train released it as a single in 2001. Didn't go anywhere, but it got the band a
major label deal.

Lyrics
Leaves are falling all around, It's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.
Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do...
Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.
Got no time to for spreadin' roots, The time has come to be gone.
And to' our health we drank a thousand times, it's time to Ramble On.
Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.
Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.
How years ago in days of old, when magic filled the air.
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor, I met a girl so fair.
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her, her, her....yeah.
Ramble On, And now's the time, the time is now, to sing my song.
I'm goin' 'round the world, I got to find my girl, on my way.
I've been this way ten years to the day, Ramble On,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.
Gonna ramble on, sing my song. Gotta keep-a-searchin' for my baby...
Gonna work my way, round the world. I can't stop this feelin' in my heart
Gotta keep searchin' for my baby. I can't find my bluebird!
