E is for Elvis (inspired) - a podcast by Lily R and Hannah C

He's revered and ridiculed, celebrated and impersonated, mourned and mocked... Dead or alive, for better or worse, the Pelvis' legacy includes a seemingly inexhaustible collection of songs inspired by him in one way or another. In this episode we discuss just a few of those that have inspired us.
