It's a shame Elvis couldn't have covered this. Freddy Mercury was a wonderful singer and performer, but I think he would say (if he weren't dead) that he'd written this song for Elvis.
@zaccozecc thanks for letting us know! i saw a queen documantery on tv and the said that freddie wrote this song and i was like: mmm elvis sung this to so who wrote it? and i treid to google it but is was no where to be found. so thank you!
Wow, im a queen fan but my fellow freddie lovers are making fools of themselves, yes queen's version of this was amazing but freddie didnt 'create' ths song, elvis did and we must respect this, cus if it wernt for elvis one of the greatest songs ever wouldnt have happened, so lets just love the king and queen :)
Get real. Elvis did whatever he wanted to however he wanted to do it. He, like many people, could change his voice when he chose to and change his life if he chose to, which he did. Boredom is a good reason for change. He didn't live according to what you think about the situation but according to what he wanted for his life.
If things were different and The King got to sing this in concert as a cover, Freddie would have been proud as punch. He was a massive Elvis fan, and sang a few songs in Elvis style as a tribute to the King.
Can't say this is Elvis but it sounds very much alike, maube the lower tones are perhaps not the same quality Elvis could perform. However, this is a work of style and I appreciate it. Thanks phantasm2000 :-)
I don't understand. Queen wrote and produced that song in 1979. Moreover, it also was released in 8th October 1979 and Elvis died in 1977. Can someone tell me this confusion? Thanks!
Note: Incredible song ;) Love Elvis's interpretation :)
this dude sounds exactly like elvis.theres another dude that tries to sing this like elvis and fails at it.this dude here has it down sounds just like him amazing
@followantolinoleader No... Elvis Presley wrote this, and then Queen re-wrote a little. But its original owner is Elvis. Elvis couldn't have taken it from Queen, because Elvis died before Queen wrote 'Crazy little thing called love'. Queen just changed it a little bit.
@followantolinoleader Bah people so mad with queen.. If anyone does a good cover of Pink Floyd or any random rock band it's great, when someone makes a cover of Queen it's "OMG IT BELONGS TO QUEEN GO IN HELL" seriously, how open minded are you
ELVIS LIVES IS THE NAME OF THE ARTIST???? ....LOL!!!! OH REALLY??....THAT IS HIS NAME???? NICE TRY!!!!! IF THAT WERE TRUE WHY DO YOU HAVE A PICTURE OF ELVIS PRESLEY THEN???? WHY NOT A PIC OF THE ARTIST FOOL??? WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!! YOU SUCK SO BAD!!!!!!

Elvis Presley deaths in 1977 this song was written in 1979 by Queen(Freddie Mercury) how does Elvis sing this song......(sorry for the english i'm italian)
I cant believe i just got a e-mail saying jimmy was killed in the 90's. That is so sad (but then he said e-mail was from Jimmy Ellis Orion confused). Anyway this guy could have been making millions of dollars in vegas. I am a comedian who performs in the northwest at the end i do impersonations and Elvis is my closer and im ashamed I dont sound anywhere close to this man.
This is not Elvis, This is Jimmy Ellis, Not Elvis. Jimmy Ellis was Orion the one with the mask. He was a great talent but not the talent of Elvis. So This is good but it is not Elvis at all. I am 100% correct on this no doubt
AWESOME I thought i was a good impersanator i don't come close. This guy needs to be recognized. I am 41 and this puts a thrill through me i havent in years
@49erinn His fans have bee ntrying to get him recognition for years. Unfortunately Jimmy was shot and killed Dec. 12, 1998. By the way this is Jimmy Ellis Orion!
@zyriuz2 The singer you are hearing here is Jimmy Ellis (Orion). He was not an Elvis impersonator...this is Jimmy's natural voice..unfortunately, Jimmy is also gone. we lost him to a robber in who shot and killed him in 1998!
@barbdel56 Not an impersonator but wore a mask to hide his face as rumors spread he was Elvis, recorded using Sun Studio and almost entirely recorded Elvis songs. I agree...he wasn't an impersonator. He was a fraud.
@illusionistdave It is a shame that there are still so many idiots like u out there who know absolutely nothing about Jimmy...Sun records signed Jimmy up when they heard him sing..they ordered him to wear the mask against his wishes..he never tried to fool anyone which is why his contract was cancelled when he refused to wear the mask any longer...he went by "Orion" not Elvis during this time....and his fans (as well as Elvis's fans should) can tell the difference in the voices.
@barbdel56 You are the idiot. You actually believe Sun Studio put a gun to Jimmy's head and said that THEY had to be the record company he signed with? GIve me a break. He di it for the fame. It was a cheap way to get lots of record sales. Also btw, I can tell the difference between Elvis's voice and his. He sounds like a guy who obviously tries to sound like Elvis while Elvis sounds....like Elvis.
@illusionistdave you don't know one thing about Jimmy...so therefore u should keep your stupid comments to yourself...It just makes me so mad when people say things about people and they don't know a thing about them. AND JIMMY'S VOICE WAS HIS VERY OWN, HE WASN'T TRYING TO SOUND LIKE ANYONE UNLIKE SOME THESE IMPERSONATORS WHO DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE!
@barbdel56 I notice you didn't address my points. Btw, I think Jimmy was a very good singer and had he wanted to portray himself as a real ETA he would have gone MUCH farther and been loved by many many Elvis fans...Sadly he just seems like a sellout.
@illusionistdave Sadly Jimmy is no longer with us..he was shot and killed in 1998..he had many fans..his own and Elvis fans...He did not wear that mask until he signed with sun records and they then forced him to wear the mask or lose his contract. Please do not send me any more comments cause you have know idea what Jimmy went thru nor do you know anything about him!!!!!!
@barbdel56 I knew all of that. Btw, you're the idiot if you sit there and tell me something about someone and then say I don't know anything about them. lmfao
@THEKING: In this case, a work of art, the song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", had been performed by the ORIGINAL artists, Queen, Then, a DIFFERENT artist, "Elvis Reborn" performed (beautifully, I might add), the song, and imitated, or "spoofed" Elvis Presley singing it. Hence, this song was a "parody". Just because they didn't spoof QUEEN, that does not mean it wasn't parodied. If you disagree with this, please give us your definition of the word, if you don't mind. Good Grief...
@THEKlNG (and I've figured out it's the king of idiocy)- I'll explain this to u ONE more time- NO, this is NOT a cover. U see, a COVER is when one artist sings another artist's song, but does it in his OWN style. To wit: UB40 re-did "Can't Help Falling in Love", and that WAS a cover, b/c they did it in their unique, UB40 style. Had ELVIS done this song, it WOULD be a cover. But, Elvis Reborn did it, ala Elvis Presley!
@1lricardo It is a cover, retard. A cover of a song by Queen. How stupid can one person be? Also, Elvis Reborn? The man singing is the late Jimmy Ellis AKA Orion. Try to get the facts straight after you ATTEMPT to belittle someone.
And maybe instead of using the wrong word such as parody, you could use some of the right ones, such as: remake, reworking, version, in the style of, redo, imitation, impression, duplicate, etc.
@1lricardo there is no Elvis Reborn...the singer in all or most of these songs is the late Jimmy Ellis Orion who was shot & killed Dec.12, 1998...Please let him be recognized..He had a lot of talent that the music industry left uncovered because his voice was so simular to Elvis.
Everyone who's saying this isn't Elvis, you're absolutely right- it's a PARODY, which by definition is another artist's "take" on another artist's work! If the poster never clearly said that this is NOT Elvis, maybe they didn't think they HAD to tell people that a song that wasn't released until almost freakin' 1980 isn't being sung by the King. Maybe they presumed that people of average intelligence would know that already! Geez! I, for one, LOVE this parody! Where can I get a C.D.?
@THEKlNG . okay "King" (of what, I wonder), I am sorry I was unclear re: the definition of the word "parody". I'll proceed slowly. According to Webster, a "parody" is "an original work of art, performed by an artist, which is then performed, or 'spoofed' by a different artist"....
This is the GREATEST thing I've ever heard! My two favorite singers of all time- Elvis and Mercury- come together (while in heaven, I like to think) and Elvis does his cover of Freddie's song!!! Thanks a million times over for this!!
For your information this isn't elvis. The song is written in 1979. And became populair in 1981. This is an elvis impersonator. They recorded populair songs after his death with elvis impersonaters. So... but we all do know that if elvis had did this song it would have rocked.
@RAW2408 This is not an impersonater! It is none other than Jimmy Ellis Orion who was shot and killed in 1998. He was from Alabama and this was his natural voice.
@RAW2408 For your information this is not an impersonator. It is Jimmy Ellis, a great singer and performer who happened to sound a lot like Elvis without intending to.We lost Jimmy in 1998.
@illusionistdave There is no mistake...Jimmy WAS NOT AN IMPERSONATOR.....HE DID A FEW TRIBUTES BUT WAS NEVER AN IMPERSONATOR!....HE HAD SEVERAL CD'S WITH HIS OWN SONGS....HE DID HIS OWN SHOW WITHOUT SINGING 1 ELVIS SONG.........HE WAS NOT AN IMPERSONATOR!
@illusionistdave Jimmy did a few tributes to Elvis because people asked him to(mostly Elvis fans)...He made no profit..if any profit was made it was Sun Records who made it....All Jimmy ever wanted was to be a star in his own right..he did not want to be associated with Elvis....an because of his voice being so close to Elvis a lot of music industries would not play his music so he never made it as big as he should have! He was a GREAT artist in his own right and should have been recognized more
A música é do Freddie Mercury, lançada no album 'the game' do queen de 1980 , Elvis morreu em 1977 , ou seja, é algum dos imitadores da voz do Elvis cantando a música , aliás um ótimo trabalho.
elvis la escribio en 1976 y se la regalo a freddie ke era su amigo en 1977 y cuando elvis se izo pasar por muerto le permitio a mercury cantarla como un tema de queen pero realmente es un tema del EL REY
realmente es elvis... pk el nunca murio ... mi tio ke vive en argentina es uno de sus amigos intimos del grupo mas cercanos y son realemnte pocos asi ke lo ke digo es vdd
Wow...amazing comments. To all who are yelling out "Freddie Mercury sang this song not Elvis!" and "Elvis died in 1977 whereas the song came out in 1979" etc, just click on the profile of the guy who posted this. phantasm2000ad has been uploading songs which Elvis NEVER sang. An Elvis impersonator, therefore, has been recording songs which Elvis never sang, giving us a taste of what the song MIGHT have sort of sounded like had Elvis recorded it. That's all.
This is bullshit. It sounds nothing like Elvis and FREDDIE MERCURY wrote this song, so I thnk whoever posted as being by Elvis needs to get their facts straight.
No where could I find on any Elvis album that Elvis did this song including the one by poster jordanriversk where he claimed Elvis did the song in 1971. Queen recorded it as a single first, then included it on an album. Later, Dwight Yoakam did a country version. An Elvis impersonator and many others did this song too. The one by Rihanna is an entirely different song - different tune and words. It is not the only Elvis - like song done by Queen, for they also did "Man on the Prowl".
lol i can't believe some of you think this is elvis lol

He sounds like a guy who obviously tries to sound like Elvis while Elvis sounds....like Elvis.

@illusionistdave you don't know one thing about Jimmy...so therefore u should keep your stupid comments to yourself...It just makes me so mad when people say things about people and they don't know a thing about them. AND JIMMY'S VOICE WAS HIS VERY OWN, HE WASN'T TRYING TO SOUND LIKE ANYONE UNLIKE SOME THESE IMPERSONATORS WHO DON'T EVEN COME CLOSE!

@barbdel56 I notice you didn't address my points. Btw, I think Jimmy was a very good singer and had he wanted to portray himself as a real ETA he would have gone MUCH farther and been loved by many many Elvis fans...Sadly he just seems like a sellout.
illusionistdave 1 year ago
@illusionistdave Sadly Jimmy is no longer with us..he was shot and killed in 1998..he had many fans..his own and Elvis fans...He did not wear that mask until he signed with sun records and they then forced him to wear the mask or lose his contract. Please do not send me any more comments cause you have know idea what Jimmy went thru nor do you know anything about him!!!!!!

@THEKING: In this case, a work of art, the song "Crazy Little Thing Called Love", had been performed by the ORIGINAL artists, Queen, Then, a DIFFERENT artist, "Elvis Reborn" performed (beautifully, I might add), the song, and imitated, or "spoofed" Elvis Presley singing it. Hence, this song was a "parody". Just because they didn't spoof QUEEN, that does not mean it wasn't parodied. If you disagree with this, please give us your definition of the word, if you don't mind. Good Grief...

It's a cover, dummy. I don't see the "spoofing", therefore it is not a parody. Parody implies humor. There is no humor.
Now go Charlie Brown it, please.

@THEKlNG (and I've figured out it's the king of idiocy)- I'll explain this to u ONE more time- NO, this is NOT a cover. U see, a COVER is when one artist sings another artist's song, but does it in his OWN style. To wit: UB40 re-did "Can't Help Falling in Love", and that WAS a cover, b/c they did it in their unique, UB40 style. Had ELVIS done this song, it WOULD be a cover. But, Elvis Reborn did it, ala Elvis Presley!
1lricardo 1 year ago
@1lricardo It is a cover, retard. A cover of a song by Queen. How stupid can one person be? Also, Elvis Reborn? The man singing is the late Jimmy Ellis AKA Orion. Try to get the facts straight after you ATTEMPT to belittle someone.
And maybe instead of using the wrong word such as parody, you could use some of the right ones, such as: remake, reworking, version, in the style of, redo, imitation, impression, duplicate, etc.
THEKlNG 1 year ago
@1lricardo there is no Elvis Reborn...the singer in all or most of these songs is the late Jimmy Ellis Orion who was shot & killed Dec.12, 1998...Please let him be recognized..He had a lot of talent that the music industry left uncovered because his voice was so simular to Elvis.
barbdel56 1 year ago
Everyone who's saying this isn't Elvis, you're absolutely right- it's a PARODY, which by definition is another artist's "take" on another artist's work! If the poster never clearly said that this is NOT Elvis, maybe they didn't think they HAD to tell people that a song that wasn't released until almost freakin' 1980 isn't being sung by the King. Maybe they presumed that people of average intelligence would know that already! Geez! I, for one, LOVE this parody! Where can I get a C.D.?

That's not the definition of a parody.
THEKlNG 1 year ago
@THEKlNG . okay "King" (of what, I wonder), I am sorry I was unclear re: the definition of the word "parody". I'll proceed slowly. According to Webster, a "parody" is "an original work of art, performed by an artist, which is then performed, or 'spoofed' by a different artist"....

For your information this isn't elvis. The song is written in 1979. And became populair in 1981. This is an elvis impersonator. They recorded populair songs after his death with elvis impersonaters. So... but we all do know that if elvis had did this song it would have rocked.

@RAW2408 For your information this is not an impersonator. It is Jimmy Ellis, a great singer and performer who happened to sound a lot like Elvis without intending to.We lost Jimmy in 1998.

@illusionistdave There is no mistake...Jimmy WAS NOT AN IMPERSONATOR.....HE DID A FEW TRIBUTES BUT WAS NEVER AN IMPERSONATOR!....HE HAD SEVERAL CD'S WITH HIS OWN SONGS....HE DID HIS OWN SHOW WITHOUT SINGING 1 ELVIS SONG.........HE WAS NOT AN IMPERSONATOR!

@barbdel56 How do you explain all the Elvis songs he did and the profit he made from hiding behind the mask because people thought he was Elvis?
illusionistdave 1 year ago
@illusionistdave Jimmy did a few tributes to Elvis because people asked him to(mostly Elvis fans)...He made no profit..if any profit was made it was Sun Records who made it....All Jimmy ever wanted was to be a star in his own right..he did not want to be associated with Elvis....an because of his voice being so close to Elvis a lot of music industries would not play his music so he never made it as big as he should have! He was a GREAT artist in his own right and should have been recognized more

A música é do Freddie Mercury, lançada no album 'the game' do queen de 1980 , Elvis morreu em 1977 , ou seja, é algum dos imitadores da voz do Elvis cantando a música , aliás um ótimo trabalho.

Wow...amazing comments. To all who are yelling out "Freddie Mercury sang this song not Elvis!" and "Elvis died in 1977 whereas the song came out in 1979" etc, just click on the profile of the guy who posted this. phantasm2000ad has been uploading songs which Elvis NEVER sang. An Elvis impersonator, therefore, has been recording songs which Elvis never sang, giving us a taste of what the song MIGHT have sort of sounded like had Elvis recorded it. That's all.

No where could I find on any Elvis album that Elvis did this song including the one by poster jordanriversk where he claimed Elvis did the song in 1971. Queen recorded it as a single first, then included it on an album. Later, Dwight Yoakam did a country version. An Elvis impersonator and many others did this song too. The one by Rihanna is an entirely different song - different tune and words. It is not the only Elvis - like song done by Queen, for they also did "Man on the Prowl".
