Cover vs. Original

Viva Las Vegas


The Dead Kennedys didn't do a lot of covers, but when they did do them they made great parodies of the originals. "Viva Las Vegas", a staple of their live shows, is no different.

No mention of the ZZ Tops version here. I like the Elvis version. But he didn't write that many originals, mostly covers, it seems. Was this really his? Good on him.
