Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds
Simple Minds - Alive and Kicking
------------------------
Suspicious Minds" is a song written by American songwriter Mark James, that after a failure of his own recording, was handed to Elvis Presley by producer Chips Moman becoming one of his most notable hits and a number one in 1969, "Suspicious Minds" was widely regarded as the single that returned Presley's career success, following '68 Comeback Special.
It was his seventeenth and last number-one single in the United States. Rolling Stone later ranked it #91 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Cover versions
Dee Dee Warwick, Dionne's sister, covered "Suspicious Minds" while Elvis Presley's version was still on the charts. Warwick's version was a minor U.S. hit, peaking at #80 in 1970.
Waylon Jennings and Jessi Colter recorded the song for RCA in 1970.
Their version reached No. 25 on the Billboard country chart in November of that year.
The Jennings-Colter version was re-released by RCA in 1976, topping out at No. 2, and was included on the ground-breaking album Wanted! The Outlaws that same year.
Singer Ronnie McDowell sung the song for the 1979 film of the soundtrack ELVIS.
Candi Staton had a No. 31 UK hit with her revival in 1982.
In 1986, the band Fine Young Cannibals' cover version of the song, which featured backing vocals by Jimmy Somerville, reached No. 8 on the UK Singles chart.
The cover was heard in the cult films, Dangerously Close and Down Twisted.
Six years later, country singer Dwight Yoakam recorded his version of the song for the soundtrack to the film Honeymoon in Vegas, as well as a video.
It was later released on his compilation album The Very Best of Dwight Yoakam.
In 1996, Bowling for Soup included a cover version on their album Cell Mates.
In 2004, Pete Yorn released a live recording of the song on his two-disc album Live from New Jersey.
In 2006, pop-punk group Avail added a cover version of this song on their re-released 1998 CD Over the James.
In March 2009, Miss Kittin and The Hacker covered "Suspicious Minds" for their album Two, for which they filmed a promotional music video directed by Régis Brochier of 7th floor Productions.
Their cover of "Suspicious Minds" was later featured on the downloadable for free mixtape Skull of Dreams by Little Boots.
In 2009, Rusted Root covered this on their studio album Stereo Rodeo.
Rock band Glasvegas featured Florence (from Florence and the Machine) in a live cover at NME Music awards in 2009.
Clay Aiken recorded the song on his 2010 album Tried and True.

"Alive and Kicking" is a song by the rock band Simple Minds, released as a single from the band's 1985 album, Once Upon a Time
Following on from the success of previous non-album single, "Don't You (Forget About Me)", "Alive and Kicking" was released as a single, reaching #3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (Four weeks at Top Five Billboard) and #7 on the UK Singles Chart.
The music video for "Alive and Kicking" was directed by Zbigniew Rybczyński, who directed the video for "All the Things She Said", the third single from the same album.
It was re-released in 1992 as a double A-side with "Love Song" to promote the band's Glittering Prize 81/92 collection. Around the same time, it was used on trailers for BSkyB's recently acquired coverage of FA Premier League matches. The double A-side reached #6 on the UK Singles Chart.
Spin magazine's review of the album Once Upon a Time had mixed messages about the song saying that the song was an "ornate epic", but that the lyrics are so vague that the band "only describes nirvana without attaining it".
Npower League 2 side Aldershot Town FC play this song at the start of their home games.
The version by East Side Beat reached #26 in the UK Singles Chart in 1992.

Simple Minds vs Coldplay - Don't You Forget About Coldplay?by mhkamp665,524 views
Who said Elvis is dead? ELVIS IS ALIVE & KICKING!
MadMixMustang, you did it again! By combining an Elvis Presley classic ("Suspicious Lies") with Simple Mind's "Alive and Kicking", you guys made this a mashup to remember. In my opinion, this could've been Elvis's big '80's hit had he lived to see the decade.
