An extremely silly 2 minutes.
Just right for this time of year!

Still good to see some rump-a-shakin'
"Give Mike a girl and he's one happy fella!"

Features 'Do The Clam', 'Spring Fever', 'He's Your Uncle, Not Your Dad' and other greats!

"Holy Cow, I forgot the Bull"- From  nuclearhythmics
Less than 2 minutes of delightful silliness from 'Stay Away Joe'.

Give thanks for all you've been blessed with
And hold your loved ones tight
For you know the Lord's been good to you
On a snowy Christmas night

Festive ELVIS Videos.
 
 
'If I get home on Christmas Day' - From Grosminet2007

EIN #3 Clip of The Week!
 
'Blue Christmas' ('68 Remix) - From LastElvis90
Another clever remix adding more back-beat to this all time classic.

Nice video edit & lipsyncing too.

Elvis’ favourite Christmas song.
A shame that Elvis didn’t re-visit this great blues number in his concerts.

Sensational official clip now showing on TV music channels.
Of course it's the '68 special and not the '57 version on the Duets CD.

Favourite Deleted Clips - The Elvis Internet Police at work!

Gladys & Vernon at Graceland 1958 - From:  thepresleyclan [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Great footage of happier early times with Graceland in the snow.
Short but well-worth seeing especially if you were there in the 100 degree heat this August.

'Hound Dog' (djf edit)- From smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
While in a fifties mood this a great idea combining the Milton Berle TV footage to the classic single.
While it doesn't have the controversial bump-&-grind ending the slow-mo hip action is sensational.

'Don't' (djf edit) From smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
A fabulous selection of late 1950's photos of Elvis.
Nicely edited to Elvis great 1957 #1 ballad 'Don't'

Elvis in the army - From Sonny TCB [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
A fabulous selection of Army photos, some wonderfully rare.
Set to the sublime 'Soldier Boy' from the sensational 'Elvis Is Back!' LP.

'That's All Right' Live 1950s - (edited djf)  - From  smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Sensational fifties edit of Elvis live on stage to the 'That's All Right' single.
The birth of 'Rock'n'Roll' - Elvis onstage doing what he does best!

'Blue Suede Shoes' colour 1956 - From  smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
The Hal Wallis movie try-out with lip-synced audio.
Great to see Elvis' natural colour hair. A classic. 

'Paralyzed' (edit djf)  - From  smithersjones  [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
One of my favourite 50s songs.
Fabulous photos and some great rare footage.

'Return to Sender' (Edit djf) - From  smithersjones  [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Using great slow-mo to accentuate Elvis' cool shoulder & body action.
A cool variation on the 'Girls, Girls, Girls' film clip. 
Once again from the DVD 'Elvis -1st, 2nd & 4ever' (see EIN review). 

'Wear My Ring Around Your Neck' (edited djf) - From  smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Great 1950's rare home footage of Elvis water-skiing, the Biloxi fishing trip, & playing with friends.
Another clip from the great DVD '1st, 2nd & 4ever' (see EIN review).

I'm A Roustabout - edited djf. [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Features some colourized Jailhouse Rock footage.
See EIN's review of the excellent 2005 DVD '1st, 2nd & 4ever' which first featured this clip.

'King Of The Whole Wide World' (DJF edit) - From: smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
Great edit of various Elvis sixties movie fluff.
And don't forget the great Boots Randolph on sax.

'What's She Really Like' (djf edit) - From  smithersjones [Xmas 2007 REMOVED]
A personal favourite from GI Blues but with added footage. 
I was always annoyed that the song was cut short in the film itself.
