This is one of the rare cases when the remake turns out to be far superior to the original.

This is my favorite version of this song and one of my favorite covers ever. They redid it totally in their style, and yet somehow managed to keep the feeling of Elvis' version. This was originally done as part of a TV Tribute to commemorate 10 years since Elvis' death.

Never really cared for Elvis' version. I grew up with Willie Nelson's version, but Pet Shop Boys' version is my favorite version by FAR.

This is one of my favorite recordings by them. I love their interpretation of this. The Hi Nrg-styled production is so beautifully done.
