"Can't Help Falling In Love"

[prenatt1166]

The Who have incorporated "Can't Help Falling In Love" into their new single, "Real Good Looking Boy".  I dug through my charts and found two covers of the Elvis Presley classic on my chart.

"Can't Help Falling In Love" is my all-time favorite Elvis Presley track.

I like it.

[George Tropicana]

A*Teens had a cover I didn't really like. It had a video featuring puppies! (Cuteeeeee!) It was also the lead single for "Lilo & Stitch."

[BookJones]

Great song & ok video!

[reception]

Elvis' version is haunting.
Corey Hart's cover is boring.
A*Teens cover is alright.
UB40's version is the JAM!

[Keith3000]

A true classic, though I've only heard the Elvis and UB40 versions.

I loved Andrew's version! I forgot his last name.

Andrew, our friend!

HOTTIE!! JPL's got nothing on this guy!

Check out U2's "Triple Peaks Remix" if you can find it. I'm not sure what project the song was originally recorded for, but it ended up as a b-side on one of the 'Wild Horses' singles. Definitely one of Bono's better covers.

[George Tropicana]

I like Andrew's music video for it. Very racy.

Elvis' original reached #2 in 1962

Corey Hart's remake hit #24 in 1987

UB40's cover topped the chart for them for 7 weeks in 1993 and was in the film "Sliver"

Also Andy Williams had a minor hit in 1970 with his version of the song but went top three in the UK
