Do you love the song Elvis isn't dead?

Answer 1

Of course I do - I submitted this quesion. It's really a matter of opinion, though, and if you have anything to say on the matter, please leave another answer below (if you still can, on this website - they blocked me twice, although I didn't write anything offensive or incorrect. Actually, all I did was answer three or more questions in a row. People today!).

The song is sung by Scouting for Girls. I don't know for sure whether or not they wrote it, but being an English band, I'm guessing that they did. Elvis isn't Dead is, by rule, my favorite song of all time. It's one of those songs that, for me, brings back memories of certain places and times from my past (happyish memories, so don't you worry about me) because that's when I listened to it for the first time.

The song is about unrequitted love. The singer says 'Elvis isn't dead and you're coming back to me'. This is clearly meant to be ironic. Elvis IS dead, so she's NOT coming back to him, and he realises this.

The lyrics to this song are fond below (yes, I am still here)

When I was young, I never knew,

What this thing called love could do to you,

But since you've been gone, and I've been on my own,

I've been feeling quite peculiar,

But I'll, get by, without, your smile,

And I'll, get through, without, you,

But I wish it was me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

Elvis ain't dead (I wish it was me)

And you're coming back (I wish it was me)

Elvis ain't dead (I wish it was me)

And you're coming back (I wish it was me)

oh,

Since you've been gone, I can do what I like,

But it doesn't, mean a lot to me,

I'm all shook up, and I'm lonesome tonight,

I think I need, a love lobotomy,

But I'll, get by, without, your smile,

And I'll, get through, without, you,

But I wish it was me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

Elvis ain't dead (I wish it was me)

And you're coming back (I wish it was me)

Elvis ain't dead (I wish it was me)

And you're coming back (I wish it was me)

Oh, oh, oh,

no no no no, oh,

Come home, come home,

You, me,

Maybe we were never meant to be,

You, me,

Maybe we were never meant to be,

Elvis isn't dead,

Elvis isn't dead,

Elvis isn't dead, 'cause I've heard him on the radio,

Elvis isn't dead,

Elvis isn't dead,

Elvis isn't dead, and you're coming back to me I know,

Elvis isn't dead, (I'll)

Elvis isn't dead, (Get by)

Elvis isn't dead, 'cause I've heard him on the radio, (Without your smile)

Elvis isn't dead, (And I'll)

Elvis isn't dead, (Get through)

Elvis isn't dead, (Without you)

Me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

I wish it was me you chose,

Elvis ain't dead (I wish it was me)

And you're coming back (I wish it was me)

Elvis ain't dead (I wish it was me)

And you're coming back (I wish it was me)

'Cause Elvis ain't dead, (Elvis ain't dead)

Elvis ain't dead, (Elvis ain't dead)

And Elvis ain't dead, (Elvis ain't dead)

And Elvis ain't dead, (Elvis ain't dead)

(Elvis has left the building,

Thank you and goodnight!)
