It’s worth noting that many view Elvis’s rendition as the definitive one, but how do we measure which version is ‘best’? Each artist brings their interpretation, which is part of what keeps it alive.
While I get that, some argue that certain artists might not capture its essence. It can be a contentious topic among fans!

I can’t be the only one who cracks up at how many weddings play this song! It’s like a rite of passage for couples. A beautiful tune with an ironic twist, don’t you think?
True! It’s like it’s become an unwritten law. Maybe we should add a ‘new wedding song’ trend to mix it up a bit!
It’s also interesting to reflect on how the song reflects themes of love and commitment. Generations have connected with its lyrics, and they still resonate today.

This song always makes me think of that iconic Elvis Presley version. What do you guys prefer? Elvis or other artists?
I have to agree! But I’m also a fan of the cover by UB40. It adds a different vibe to it!
Funny story: my friends and I used to sing this in the karaoke bar at the top of our lungs! We were dreadful but had such a blast. Music brings people together.
I’m curious, how many of you have played this song during significant events? I feel like it’s everywhere during weddings!
