Elvis Presley And America - Remastered 2009

This song was the result of Bono improvising lyrics about Elvis Presley in his "fat" period, when he was strung out on drugs, but still able to thrill a crowd. It's one of the few U2 songs they never performed live.

This was created by slowing down the backing track of another song on the album, "A Sort Of Homecoming."

Bono had read a book on Elvis by Albert Goldman, which gave him the idea for the lyrics.
