Elvis Vs JXL Obscure facts.....arent you glad you asked??? This was a fairly obscure Elvis song until it was remixed and released as a single in 2002. The new version went to #1 in the UK, giving Elvis 18 #1 hits there, the most of any artist. Previously, he was tied with The Beatles at 17. Mac Davis and Billy Strange wrote this for the 1968 Elvis movie Live A Little, Love A Little. The movie was one of Presleys last. The remix gained popularity in England when it was used in a Nike World Cup commercial featuring British soccer player Eric Cantona. The remix was done by Dutch DJ Tom Holkenburg, a member of the group Junkie XL. For the remix, the name of the group was changed to JXL because Presleys estate did not welcome the drug reference. This was the first time an Elvis song was allowed to be remixed. The official title of the remix is Elvis vs. JXL - A Little Less Conversation. Presleys vocals were left intact. The original version was used in the 2001 remake of the movie Oceans Eleven, starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Julia Roberts. Elvis daughter, Lisa Marie Presley, was born the year this was released.
