Elvis tribute (favorite Elvis song clips)

It was 34 years ago today that Elvis Aaron Presley suddenly died. And to mark the 34th anniversary of his death, I wanted to share three of my favorite Elvis Presley video song clips.

First up, "Bossa Nova Baby," from Fun in Acapulco:



Dig those crazy moves!

Next, the classic "Viva Las Vegas," from Viva Las Vegas:



Showgirls!

And then there is this classic scene and eponymous song from Clambake, which I love not so much because of the song (which was typical Elvis movie drivel) but because of the awesome bikini dancers:



Did people really throw parties like this back in the 1960s?

Got a favorite Elvis song? Let me know via the comments.

mmm...throwing panties in the 60s.I don't think I'm old enough to remember that. In the 60s people were typically not as open as they are today.
