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.

Elvis Mr. Potato Head: Just a hunk, a hunk of plastic spud

Elvis Presley and Mr. Potato Head fans rejoice! Thanks to a recently signed deal between the Estate of Elvis Presley, Hasbro, and PPW Toys, this August, for just $20, you will be able to own a piece of history!

I am, of course, referring to the Elvis Mr. Potato Head, which comes complete with sideburns, signature white jumpsuit, guitar, and a microphone -- so he can sing such classic Elvis tunes as "Spud Me Tender," "(You're a) Potato in Disguise," and "T-U-B-E-R"!

And if that wasn't exciting enough, Elvis fans, Hasbro, PPW Toys, and the Elvis Presley Estate will be releasing a second Elvis Mr. Potato Head doll (because you can never have too much Elvis), dressed in black leather, later in the year (in time for the holiday season).

I know what you're thinking: Thank you, thank you very much.

You're welcome.
