Elvis Presley's classic ballad "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" (my # 4 favorite version)has seen many remakes and re-imaginings. We had Corey Hart's quietly mournful version (my #3 favorite), UB40's zippy and reggae-influenced approach for the SLIVER soundtrack (my #5 favorite), Lick The Tins' folksy and Irish-tinged rendition from SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL's soundtrack (my #6 favorite) and U2's surreal and hopeful take (my #2 favorite).
But my #1 favorite rendition of "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" will always be the A-Teens' cheerful and celebratory addition to the soundtrack of my favorite animated film of all time: the wonderful Hawaii-set adventure LILO & STITCH. I even have several stuffed Stitch toys. I am not even ashamed to admit that. I love that little fucker. And we love this version of the song the most.
