Absolutely wonderful, brings a smile to my face hearing these tracks and not understanding a word of them.
Erich's XTC covers are also pretty entertaining too.

Re: Elvis,PBS' "Live from the Artists Den," German TV May 8 '12
This was on Sky Arts last night!
I only know as I've got Live from the Artists Den on series record, though the "series" is pretty sporadic. What I saw was good, but the bloody YouView box only managed to record half of it

What are Elvis's favourite venues?
My Elvis watching over the years has usually been when he plays Liverpool or Manchester. I was at the recent (Manchester) Bridgewater Hall gig, somewhere he has played some excellent gigs before (though I must admit the John Harle in 1996 one was er, difficult!). I think one of the factors in him pl...

Wonderful, marvellous, "The Ken Dodd of Manchester" someone said behind me (which was in the direction of Bradwellboy - good call on 3 Sons by the way) as he started yet another song. It felt like it could go on forever with great surprises (Dr Luther's Assistant I KNOW!!). That big yellow...

Very enjoyable. A 90 minutes that has seen fit to be watched again several times for me. Of course there were things missed out, you can't please all the people... But it was so good to see something that didn't just lazily concentrate on 77-82. Someone up thread remarked about it helped 'get Elvis'...

Was a little strange, it didn't quite get going for me until 'Tokyo Storm Warning' and then we were off! Plenty of highlights, loved 'Sleep of the Just' and 'She'.

'King of America' and 'Delivery Man' are the most expansive and rich to me when listening on headphones, 'Goodbye Cruel World' is cack - ClangerWinstanley did nothing for the EC sound.
