Tom was a HUGE Elvis fan, and he did what any fan who becomes famous does, and that is pay tribute to one of his hero's. like it or not, that isn't important. The fact that a fan of Elvis, like many of us, did a song in his honor.
There is no need to compare versions. They are two completely different experiences. One is not better or worse than the other. You are comparing apples and oranges.
Intersting that this was his childhood favorite and first owned song. Mine too. I was 4 yrs old when this came out by Elvis and still remember it all these yrs later. I guess that is why Petty wanted to share it with his family. It's very memorable.
Good version by Tom. I like Elvis's original version and wasn't expecting to like Tom's version (as I don't usually like remakes) but I think his version would've made Elvis smiled.
I love how he says four. FOH <3
