Elvis Presley – Blue Moon (1954)

Ok, I’ve actually spent most of the afternoon between work tasks planning a fiendishly, oh so clever, segue that will take the lucky listener on a journey from Public Enemy to Pere Ubu. Via James Brown and the Velvet Undergound … watch this space.

However, as it’s the weekend, it’s time to turn ones thoughts to football. As a Manchester City fan, I am now obliged to endure all manner of renditions of Blue Moon. Fortunately, there is one reading of said song worthy of inclusion in this list. Ladies and gentlemen, I present the King of Rock’n'Roll.
