by Amanda Flinner

Elvis is back in the building. Thanks to Baz Luhrmann's 2022 biopic, starring Austin Butler in the title role, plenty of big names like Eminem, Stevie Nicks, Doja Cat, and Kacey Musgraves thrust many of the King's tunes back into the spotlight with their contemporary interpretations (along with some Elvis-inspired originals like "The King And I" and "Vegas").

Now that everyone's in an Elvis kind of mood, we came up with this quiz all about Elvis Songs.

More Songfacts:

We Are The WorldUSA for Africa

The actor Dan Aykroyd sang on "We Are The World." LaToya Jackson did too, so we know they weren't all that picky.

FireThe Pointer Sisters

Bruce Springsteen originally wrote "Fire" for Elvis Presley in 1977, and even sent him a demo. Sadly the King died before he ever heard it, and it was left to the Pointer Sisters to record the song.

Thinking Out LoudEd Sheeran

When Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" climbed to the top of the UK singles chart in its 19th week, the song broke the record for the slowest continual ascent to #1.

Rebel YellBilly Idol

Billy Idol got the title for "Rebel Yell" from a brand of whiskey he saw members of The Rolling Stones drinking.

Everybody Wants To Rule The WorldTears for Fears

"Everybody Wants To Rule The World" was a line from a 1980 Clash song called "Charlie Don't Surf." Tears For Fears used it as the title of their 1985 hit.

The WayFastball

"The Way" by Fastball was inspired by the story of an elderly couple from Texas who drove to a nearby family reunion and kept going. Fastball's bass player imagined them taking off and having fun like they were young. The story didn't end well: the couple was later found dead after they crashed in a canyon.
