Two weeks ago, Elvis Presley would have celebrated his 80th birthday. Or did he? We sure hope so, because it would be tragic if he never got to hear the remix that Junkie XL did of his classic “A Little Less Conversation.”
Back in 2001, the original song was extended and used in the remake of the hit movie Ocean's Eleven. It's success would lead to a remix by Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg) that was premiered in a special ad for the Olympic Games in 2002. The track was also made an extended “Radio Edit” version and added to “ELV1S: 30 No. Hits” album the same year.
This is the only time in history someone was allowed to do an official Elvis remix. The official music video is on iTunes but you can relive the awesome production and the Nike campaign below! Check it out.
Long live the king. We salute you.
