Freddie wrote this song in Berlin and released it in the Game album so how come Elvis sang it years before??? Well Elvis died in 1977 so when did Freddie write the song and how come Elvis sang it before Queen? |
Maz 28.03.2005 23:40 |
Elvis never sang it. |

- UPDATED: JAN 5, 2005 - - ORION (JIMMY ELLIS) BOX SET ADDED!!- As everyone who visits this site regularly knows, I really only sell strictly Elvis Presley CD's and records! In the past I have offered a Jimmy Ellis (ORION) box set (in stock again!!) but I have stayed away from the imitators because, quite honestly,none have ever impressed me until I heard Doug Church! In the last year or so, I have sold hundreds of Doug Church CD's and everyone who has bought them is 100% pleased. He is well worth it. I sincerely suggest you buy one if you want to hear someone sing songs that Elvis never recorded that you wished he would have and in the style that is so close to Elvis'voice that it's incredible!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!! Quoted from website "Songs Elvis NEVER recorded" |

Which, once upon a time, could really only be heard in the US on Dr. Demento. |

So Elvis sang - "England's Rose (Memorial to Princess Diana)". Priceless!!! Apart from the fact this song was written by Elton John especially for the death of the Princess in 1997 - I think Elvis may well have recorded the track twenty years earlier! caviar: With such finely-honed blood-hound research insticts as your own, I think you would be a natural as a "SUN" journalist. |
Lord Blackadder 29.03.2005 08:25 |
This is one of the most ridiculous topics ever. A newish fan comes on and tells everybody else that Elvis recorded CLTCL before Queen. All of those songs are obviously NOT Elvis songs. La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin? (written in 90's) How Do I Live - Leann Rhimes (not sure about spelling) (90's) Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Gay Cyrus (90's) Wind Beneath My Wings - Bette Midler (written in the 80's) |

It all averages out ...Rip Van Winkle wrote: Dat's five words Zeni - Is that a reference to a Dr Demento song?Well, it's four actually..... Actually, There is a wonderful book I was just reading at Borders Books & Music Easter Sunday called something like "The Billboard Book Of #1 Hits and The Stories Behind Them". There are 2 pages in the year 1980 for "Another One Bites The Dust" and the story behind that w/ a photo of Queen. But there is an even better page w/ a photo of Queen with the complete story and mini interview quotes from Freddie of how Freddie wrote and came up with the idea for "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", (while "languishing in the bathtub at the Munich Hilton he came up with the idea for the song. He "Freddie" leapt from the bath and wrote and played the song on his guitar and piano".) or something like that as I remember, and even how Freddie and the band the very next day, went into the studio, arranged and recorded it, with Freddie playing guitar on record for the first time. With more quotes from Freddie...saying he had recorded the song exactly "like the bath version. But then it's not typical of anything I do". (wink, wink) Even better as the book continues on the same page, is a GREAT interview paragraph quote from Freddie, 5 Full years after he wrote "Crazy..." and his thoughts on the song then 5 full years later, where he expressed that he still loved the song, why, and the inspiration for the song. |

Crazy little thing wasn't actually the first time Freddie had played guitar on record. The backwards guitar at the start of Ogre Battle was played by Fred. |

Mr.Jingles 29.03.2005 22:39 |
C'mon people! We all know that Elvis wrote 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love'. There's a lot of hoaxes going around, but there's only one truth my friends... Elvis was a big fan of Queen, so he invited Freddie to his Graceland mansion to hang around on a sunny summer day of 1977. Freddie and Elvis were chit chatting for a while, snorting some coke, eating buffalo wings, and swallowing pills. Then all of sudden Freddie tells Elvis: - "Hey, we should write a rockabilly song together!", To what Elvis replies: - "I don't write songs my dear teddy bear, RCA hires a bunch of underpaid black musicians to write them for me, and all I do is sing them". Freddie quite dissapointed responds: - "But you are the King of Rock n' Roll, shouldn't you know how to write a bloody song?" Then Elvis says: - "Goddamnit, that was exactly the same thing The Beatles told me back in 1965 when they came to visit me. I'm sorry Fred, but I don't want to hear this anymore!" Freddie looked quite concerned, and he certainly didn't want to upset Elvis. In a very apologetic kind of way Freddie said: - "Perhaps you should just try writing a song. I mean, who knows it might be your first one." Elvis thought about it for a while, and said: - "OK, I'll give it a try. Bring a guitar and let's jam for a while". - responded Elvis Freddie then blushed and he said: - "I'm ashamed to tell you that I can't really play the guitar, dear" So Elvis put his hand on Freddie's shoulder and said: - "Neither can I darling, so what the fuck let's try". So then Freddie and Elvis spent a couple of hours throwing ideas around, hitting guitar chords but neither one had any idea where they were getting to. Time went by, and both musicians started to get frustrated with themselves. - "I'll be right back, I feel like the combination of chicken wings and pills starting to kick into me. I'm going to take a crazy little shit" - said Elvis. Meanwhile Freddie started wondering around, when all of sudden he hears Elvis screaming: - "Freddie, I got it!" Then Freddie said: - "Oh darling, don't be disgusting." - "No, no, Fred! I think I finally got an idea for a song." - Elvis said. - "That's great" - said Freddie "All you need now is a pen and a piece of paper" Then Elvis said: - "I got some toilet paper here. Do you have a pen you can toss me under the door?". - "Sure thing, darling" - said Freddie. Meanwhile, Freddie decides to leave Elvis alone for a while so can fully concentrate on writing his first song. Hours start going by and Freddie starts getting impatient. He starts yelling at Elvis and asking him why is it taking him so long. Then Freddie realizes that Elvis is not responding to him, so he then opens the bathroom door to find Elvis with his pants down lying dead on the floor. Freddie starts freaking out and not knowing what to do. All of sudden he sees that there's a complete song written on a piece of toilet paper, and then he tells himself: - "Bloody hell, this could be our first #1 hit single in the U.S." Freddie then decides to grab the song written on that toilet piece of paper before leaving Graceland. All of sudden he starts feeling like something is not quite right. He decides to go back to the bathroom and flush down the last pieces of turd left by Elvis before collapsing dead. Then Freddie proceded to tell the limo driver to take him to the nearest airport that could take him back to England. |

I download 2 or 3 years before a file called "Elvis - crazy little thing called love". The singer is elvis imitation, es fake. I,m found this file in my cd´s (sorry for my english) En español: Hace 2 o 3 años encontre un archivo que se llamaba "Elvis - crazy little thing called love".Me sorprendi porque la cancion la compuso Freddie despues de que muriera Elvis. Me la baje y pude escuchar que era una imitacion de elvis, me rei bastante.Estoy buscando el archivo entre los cd que tengo, cuando la encuentre la compartire de alguna forma. (Si no se entiende bien la parte en ingles que alguien que sepa español traduzca la parte de español, muchas gracias) |

Hey you guys... You missed the truth! Freddie is the reincarnation of Elvis, so...Elvis must hold the credits for CLTCL... And...Caviar must feel really really stupid now. I had his same thought about this song when i was about 14 and ill...and still i felt stupid at THAT time. So...Caviar must be ill or simply naive or maybe he's 14. Or all these things.. |

I know this is a bit old subject, hope you don't mind i downloaded a file called "Elvis PResley - Crazy Little Thing Called Love" a few days ago. i used google to find the connection between elvis and CLTCL (i know is queen's...), and it brought me to this subject. i guess it's an impersonator. anyway, some asked for an MP3, so here is part of the song i have: link btw it's a really cool track, i think i even like it more than queen's :) |
