This happened a few weeks ago, I was listening to radio 4 in the car (I don't normally listen to the radio) and there was a discussion on the radio about Elvis laughing hysterically during a song, they were discussing why he was acting the way he did etc. I believe they have a session like this every week discussing strange and wonderful things but I can't seem to find it? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
Thanks in advance.

There's a great episode of Revisionist History by Malcolm Gladwell about this song too. It's in series 1 of the podcast and was what got me into a really enjoyable podcast.

Interested in this thread?

Yes the Malcolm gladwell program was interesting but slightly annoying (for me) as he didn't particularly like Elvia, so it wasn't an affectionate take on it. Interesting all the same as some facts I never knew (superfan here) were discussed.

Like he didn't act have sex with Priscilla for the first 7 years or something like that!!

Yes Submariner I was about to say that! Great episode. The theory was everyone thinks it a funny and endearing bit, but in reality he had real emotional problems and literally couldn't get the words out.

Interesting! I'm not an Elvis superfan so I wasn't annoyed by it, but there are other things MG has covered where I can tell he's taking a purposefully antagonistic stance on it. I do roll my eyes sometimes as he loves to be contrary but overall his stuff is usually an interesting listen at least.
