    I remember watching this when it first aired. Not only was this a great performance, but Elvis did such an excellent job of filling in for Letterman that I think he could host his own show outright.

    He sang this on purpose just days before the bombs fell on Baghdad to start the Iraq War. A legitimate call for peace.
