One of the best Elvis covers of all time, Cheap Trick's version of "Don't Be Cruel" is a whole heck of a lot of fun. The video is a great synthesis of 80s cool and the band's inherent dorkiness, with the added bonus that they weren't afraid to have some fun with the whole concept. This version's a bit dark, but it's still good enough to see why it was one of my faves back in the day when MTV still actually played music videos...
