If you haven't heard of the Battle of Bands, you aren't following the blogs hosting this fabulous event. It began with The Far Away Series and then my friend Stephen decided to partner up with her, followed by Arlee Bird at Tossing It Out. They are in cahoots and hosting a giveaway for people who vote on their sites. The Battle takes place on the 1st and 15th of every month. This is the fourth installment, and other blogs can participate... you just need to post in the comments that you are doing so. I am aware of DiscConnected posting a BOTB on his blog, so you should stop over there if you want to hit them all.
If you are hosting a BOTB on your site, and I didn't mention you, please indicate that you are playing along in the comments.
You have until the 21st to get your votes in. On that day, I will post the results of how this whole thing turned out.
Can't Help Falling In Love is the song for this week's battle. It was originally recorded by Elvis Presley and featured in his film Blue Hawaii (1961). Since then it has been covered by many bands!
Here is the King, Elvis Presley, singing Can't Help Falling In Love.
In the film Some Kind of Wonderful (1987), directed by John Hughes, the song was covered by a band called Lick The Tins. As someone who wore the tape out on this soundtrack (back in the day), I think it is one of the best remakes of this song around. However, does it beat the original? Listen and decide for yourself!
Okay, now that you have heard both of them, cast your vote in the comments, along with your reasoning for WHY you preferred one over the other.
