Post Re: A Riddle
I guess we could force some "correct" answers with some rhetorical gamemanship.

It's "Heartbreak Hotel" because

1) Elvis got sick of having to do the song every single time he performed.
2) It was used as the wake-up song during one of the Apollo missions.
3) Punks recognize John Cale's devastatingly histrionic cover of the song as a fine example of "proto punk" art rock.

I'm sure that's the wrong answer, especially 'cause I have no idea what Elvis thought of the song and just pulled the bit about him getting sick of it out of thin air, but do I get a consolation prize for "effort?" :wink:
