Re: Covers of Elvis songs
Ross Bellenoit is a musician based in Philadelphia, PA. He has recorded and performed a number of EC covers and seems to have a particular love of Blood & Chocolate.
On the charmingly titled "Future Corpses" project , he plays a very passable version of "All The Rage", although maybe a little "light" in the delivery. See what you think: it is track 6 here:
https://rossbellenoit.bandcamp.com/album/future-corpses
He played a show back in November 2013 which was the whole of Blood & Chocolate. See the poster here:

More recently he played a show with his band The Deceptions (a bit like The Imposters?) which included Tokyo Storm Warning (from Blood & Chocolate and Lovable from King Of America. These are not easy songs to play, and I think he makes a fair fist of it, see what you think...
Tokyo Storm Warning
Lovable
Someone should buy Kevin Monko some cufflinks.

Re: Covers of Elvis songs
A cover from 1986 of Brilliant Mistake by The Blades. From Dublin, the lyric is changed to make reference to local issues. Besides working for 'the RTE news' the presenter 'didn't know about Section 31' , a ban at the time on the IRA etc. being heard on TV and radio. The referendum mentioned was on allowing divorce. It happened in June 1986 and had a majority in favour of maintaining the ban. It would be 1996 before divorce was allowed.

'The classic 1977 hit by Elvis Costello is given a new treatment by memoryfield with help from special guest Iris. This one is loads of fun and will take you back to that strange moment in time somewhere in between Punk Rock and Disco but before New Wave, when polyester suits filled our closets and vinyl LP records sat contently on our shelves. Filmed in what appears to be a bizarre time capsule of a basement somewhere deep within the bowels of Orem, Utah, one has to ask the question as to whether or not Barry Manilow knows that someone has indeed been raiding his wardrobe.'

Ha ha - that's brilliant. Good on the Elvis fan music teacher! (Unless it was the teacher's 45th birthday - bit egomaniacal if so. But maybe the school itself is 45 years old?)
