The Elvis/Lisa Marie Video: Infants, Handguns, And Shitty Blocking
Well, the video for the Elvis/Lisa Marie duet on "In The Ghetto" dropped and the single hit iTunes, and it's more maudlin that we could have even dreamed. The song itself is just a semi-awkward imposition of a new, but not awful, vocal by Lisa Marie on top of dad's original, just as advertised. But the video features gurning close-ups of Lisa's anguish-wracked, tear-streaked face in "artful" (read: a lot of cockeyed framing) black and white—it's like the clip for Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt" if it had been directed by a guy whose resume was made up mostly of insurance company ads and one episode of Alias—and (get this) little babies wriggling around in their cribs with handguns. A grim portent!
Video Premier: Elvis and Lisa Marie Presley's "In The Ghetto" [Spinner] More »
Kicking it with the ghost in the machine, Lisa Marie Presely has recorded a "duet" with her long dead dad of popular Elvis fave "In The Ghetto." "It's pretty organic," Lisa Marie sez of the tune. Huh? This is, like, the most inorganic "collaboration" possible. Unless you're invoking the black arts in the studio or something. [
