  • I love this song!!!! Makes me feel like I'm flying in the air or actually in the city of Memphis!!!

  • Search for the song 'Buried alive' from virtually unknown band Conductor (1982) - its up on Youtube.

    Listen to it.

    Draw your own conclusions.

  • I love Piano songs but this one is so incredibly special... blue suede shoes and the King.... amazing touch by Marc Cohen...

    "tell me are you a christian child ?..... M'am I am tonight !" - incredible lyrics....

    And yes Thank You TommyLad for the upload - for the longest time i could not find any other version on YT other than... Ch.. God i cannot even say her name... i puke when i think she did a cover of this..

  • I know some will kill me for saying this but..*slight hesitation* I think Sara Barriles should cover this song. Whew..THAT was nerve-racking :|...

  • The Pyramid, Federal Express, Graceland, Dr. King, St. Jude Hospital, and those good ribs.

  • Thanks man this is the only one not edited I can find on my phone

  • I LURVE this song! (Sorry, I tend to be very random!) :) Btw, the reason this is one of my favorite songs is 'cause I heard this on the radio one time and then I just stopped what I was doing, sat down on my bead and started humming along. I've always wanted to travel all over and songs like this just make me want to go out and see these places even more. I can't wait 'til I'm older, then I will be able to go see the world outside my backyard! (Ah, I can dream anyway!) :)

  • Love the line "Touched down in the land of the Delta blues"

  • this song reminds me of my brother miss you bro

  • I always thought this was Eddie Money singing this--see, Youtube is educational!

  • Peabody and the ducks on the roof . . .Booker T and the MGs . . . .Memphis State Tigers with Dana Kirk and Keith Lee (R.I.P.)

  • how can this song not have at least a million hits? why would people deny themselves access to such JOY? was born there and only God knows why we left still breaks my heart wish I was walking in Memphis

  • hahah cool  Edit: WOW! 10,000 views!! 27-12-09..my birthday ^^

  • JFYI - The Reverend Green referred to in the song is R&B singer (and ordained minister) Al Green, probably best known for his 70s hit "Let's Stay Together".

    W. C. Handy was the "Father of the Blues", a legendary Blues musician and composer. He died in the 1950s.

  • @auroradawn23 were they from memphis or nashville?

  • Thank you so much for uploading this, tommylad! You have excellent taste in music. :-) I have always loved this song, but haven't heard it played on the radio in ages.

  • Пржи га фрајер само тако!

  • Great! Thanks especially for the lyrics!

    I first heard this song sung buy a great Swedish singer, Sarah Dawn Finer (of american/british origin), in a Swedish music game TV programme. But I couldn´t catch all the lyrics. By the why, check her, it´s worth it! She´s on youtube, and I also can recommend her official website.

    Greetings from Sweden

  • Thanks. Very nice music.

  • lyrics ?

  • @ShutGunBadAss, Notice the blue bubble at the start that says 'lyrics are in description'?

    Echt hut ab!!

    Und das Lied iss einfach nur geil! awesome

  • Love it tommylad1231..he's a fabulous musician, i have the "album" and it's great that you posted this Thank you very much!!!! Sandy

  • cool song

    i first heard it on Finding Graceland

    always loved the movie

    kinda funny cool and sad

    when the guy who thinks he is elvis

    finds out that his friends are not there

  • This video is really hard to find when the only lyrics you can remember is put on my blue suede shoes.

  • Edit: WOW!!!! I CARE MORE ABOUT VIEWS THAN LISTENING TO THE ACTUAL,SONG!!!!

  • @tommylad1231 LOL I love making people aggravated over the Internet with like.. one sentence. The powers I posses are amusing.

  • @Shleefais It's time for you to get a life!

  • @dkslfjgh Haha your comment just justified the fact that YOU in fact, have no life. I came on to hear a song, laughed at the description, and the person who posted the video got defensive over a small block of text and took it way out of hand, therefore, it amused me. If I didn't have a life, I wouldn't exist to be here to tell you that your ignorance definitely covers you well. Bye now. And no need to reply [which I know you will] because you'll further prove my point.

  • @Shleefais I'm the one with no life? Ok, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. I'm not the one making stupid comments just to piss people off. Just grow up and enjoy the song.

  • @Shleefais, The reason I got "defensive" is because I'm Irish and we like picking fights. Nothing personal :)

  • @tommylad1231 damn right! lol

  • @tommylad1231 I think this comment made my day; thank you

  • @SBIMEZM86, Whick one? :P

  • @tommylad1231 EDIT: tommylad1231 must be in grade school cuz he still calls people asswipes

  • @suree5891, If you can find a "Grade school" in Ireland I'll put a nail through my tongue

  • @tommylad1231 your stupid dude

  • @38seadog, Thanks. Really appreciate it.

  • @Shleefais Its not really a problem if he is excited about the views. He's probably heard the song a thousand times b4 b/c he posted it. So if he gets more excited that ppl are actually coming to listen to it,then thats not a bad thing.

  • @lovelygoldensparrow,Im a 14 year old irish kid who heard this on the radio one day and loved it so much i took the liberty of learning it by heart.

  • one of the best, from a boy from Memphis!!!!

  • Nice Song.

  • Anytime i hear that song man i wanna go and see Memphis. Is Marc from Memphis? if not he did u guys a big favor

  • I agree

  • Dieses Lied liebe ich heiß und innig! Ich glaube, ich war etwa fünf, als ich es zum ersten Mal gehört habe, und es ist seitdem bei mir die ungeschlagene Nr.1! "Walking in Memphis" weckt bei mir eine ganze Palette an glücklichen und optimistischen Gefühlen!

  • @Sideros8 i totally agree with you!!!!!! dieses lied liebe ich heiß und innig!

  • first video that isnt an awful cover or, even worse, cher, so thank you

  • great, especially without cher

  • What a song!

  • One of the best song ever writen!

  • Very few songs give me goosebumps. This one is one of them. There is something very sad about this song, but at the same time makes you feel hopeful and positive.

  • yep u are right . the music gets to u

  • Yeah...............this song is beautiful. Thank you Marc. I'm sure your sick of it by now, but for the rest of us....its nice to share in your amazing moment for four minutes and nineteen seconds. Thank you again.

  • This sounds way better than cher, she sounds like a guy but still ruined the song. Thanks for the original!

  • yeah cher was good but this is marc's song

  • Comment removed
