I remember when this video came out. It was so random (Cheap Trick doing an Elvis song during the height of 80s hair metal).

The BEST Elvis cover, ever. Period.

and "technically" , on that album , Robin may have sang {however serendipicially } 'better' on "The Flame", and he did so over the years on quite a few cheezy songs that went nowhere for them. But this was their most "polished" album ever production and engineering- wise . . . . . . and Zanders sounded twice as natural as the King himself from start to end. It's one thing to out-copy a legend . . . .but it is quite another to out-character them. But he did here.

Few bands could pull off an Elvis classic but Cheap Trick did it admirably. Love these guys.

I honestly believe Elvis would have approved of this. It was new rockabilly circa 1988, a year that had a lot of good songs came out.

A very Happy 71st Birthday Robin Wayne Zander. Born in Beloit, Wisconsin January 23, 1953. Robin joined Cheap Trick 50 years ago. 1974.. R & R Hall of Fame induction proves they are a great rock and roll band. Many, many more Robin Wayne..

Cheap Trick was in a class all to itself. Classic!!!

There's no way you can listen to this song without singing along and bopping to it, and the band looks like they are having so much fun, it's contagious, pure joy!

Good god. Robins looks and vocals melt my butter for ever

Tom Petersson with such a SICK bass line. My favorite Elvis cover by far!!

Absolutely love this version of "Don't be Cruel" a perfect mix of soft rock and rockabilly and I'm sure Elvis would approve
