  • I cant believe one of the top rated comments is complaining about video resolution on an audio clip

  • I worked in a supermarket and they used to play this all the time. I think i listened to this more times then anyone else in the world, probably 3 times a day for nearly 4 years. And you know what the amazing thing is after all these years? I still have no fucking idea what he is singing about. Elvis? Fishing? New Shoes? Fishing for Elvis with new shoes? Dunno why, but I always imagine a church full of happy clappers jumping around and singing, healing people & getting all emotionally retarded.

  • Hi Tina!

  • Alot of people don't know that this song is a tribute to Elvis's untimely death.

  • whoa after listening that song i saw all the ppl that dislikes this song and i was shocked.. but really :o

  • "One can dream of a land where everything good occurs. But as long as humans exist. Good is only isolatary." - TragedySoldier

  • I'm sorry but that's not irony

  • instant goosepumps :D

  • I LOVE this song so much!

  • You know the irony of this song is that Memphis is actually a city in Egypt as well as the USA.

  • @TragedySoldier

    that's ironic...? o.o

  • @TragedySoldier Except for the fact that it's terribly obvious that it's about the American city.

  • @wifflwaffl I didn't say it was. I was just relaying a fact that the two cities are both major cities and both share the same names.

  • @TragedySoldier didn't saqy it wasn't^ I mean.

  • @TragedySoldier explain the irony here please...most places in the US are named after foreign locations...

  • @tony2119 He only mentions Memphis in the song. He doesn't state a country. That is the irony sir. It is just assumed it's USA.

  • @TragedySoldier Elvis is buried in Memphis, Tennessee in the U.S.A.. so ya sorry we assumed that he was talking about america *sarcasm*

  • @TragedySoldier Beale Street? W.C Handy. Elvis? It's Memphis, TN dipshit.

  • I was thinking about this song and guess what? I RECEIVED

  • Catfish on the table what does that even mean/

  • ruchałbym!!!

  • @idontwant2bpoor Idk... This version has more feelings in it, in my opinion...

  • Why are there so many dislikes for this video?

  • @richardc1985 Some ppl accualy think he stole Chers song.Its sad i know...

  • I've been listening to this song for the last few days, just over and over, and I don't know what it is, but there is just something about this song that gets me everytime.

  • @LimerickLinz

    This song makes me think of a guy who lives in Tennessee and sent a pic from Memphis. He left me.....without a good reason.

  • How can anyone dislike this?

  • I am tonight!

  • haha i live in memphis and i hear this song everytime i walk in downtown <3 ^.^

  • @dannashannon44 i live in florida---i heard this song and said i am going to memphis. little to say i was on vacation--so i got kind of wild. a memory i will never forget.

  • @dannashannon44 downtown memphis really isn't the best place to live haha

  • @dannashannon44

    you are so luck to live there. I would give anything to be there. I miss a guy who frequents there....the sexiest man i know.

  • This is just so well written and so well performed.

  • 240p, now we meet again..

  • @mytis123 240p overused joke, we meet again...

  • @mytis123 It's a still image. Surely you came here for the music not the picture.

  • @mytis123 great copy & paste comment nigga

  • @mytis123 y does it matter when its a song, not a vid?

  • @mytis123 Because its totally relevant when the only visual is the album cover

  • @mytis123 that one's getting old

  • @mytis123 why does it matter? this is an audio clip with the same one picture of album art. who cares if you can't see the album art in HD?

  • @mytis123 well. luckily you have no more serious problems.

  • Thia song brings a little bit of light in my darkest days :) (I'm french, so please, deal with it xD )

    

  • Such a great song, everything just seems better after listening to it. If i ever hear a Rebecca Black or Justin Bieber song, i'll be listening to this one to off set the anger :D :P.

  • people need to listen to more music like this in stead off all the shit now in the 21st centuary

  • @ZzST0K35YzZ1 true

  • @ZzST0K35YzZ1 You don't have to be an ass. I like this stuff, I also like a lot of the stuff that comes out today. It all really depends on what mood I'm in. I'm sick of people saying that everything today sucks, because it doesn't.

  • for some odd reason this song gets me motivated.. great tune to listen to before studying for my exams!

  • @SuperHockey4 same here wierd O.o :D

  • love this one... almost start crying... it just puts you in that state of mind... hard to describe but "thumbs up" if you agree" :)

  • THIS is music. not the rap and hip hop 'songs' people of my age listen to these days. I'm 15 and I love/adore listening to songs like this, no hard beats for me. this cheers me up, this makes my day and brings me a smile. every single day. for already a view years.

  • @louiseesmee

  • Marc Cohn is the biggest one hit wonder artist ever. End of story.

  • tim tebow

    

  • @816dboi i guess you meant that timmy is a one hit wonder, because after all the prayers are done and over with his career will be over...and i mean that by the end of this year...so yeah i guess you can say this video can relate to that overrated piece of shit!

    Cher for me, she have unique (out of this wold) voice

  • @SEVAGARM i know nothing about Cher, but I do know that the marc cohn version is way better (no offense)

  • @squeegeewing I don't understand you ! What you want to mean !,

    You say I know nothing about Cher, And after you say Marc Cohn's is better,

    It's means you know something about Cher's version also, Because you compare Cher with Marc Cohn,

    However I start loved this song because of Cher

  • @SEVAGARM what I meant was that I know very little about Cher and that I like the Marc Cohn version better
