On the t.v in the uk now is a very well done commercial by Honda. Don't know if any of you have seen it...but The Impossible Dream is played throughout. What a crying shame they didn't use Elvis' far superior version (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Could have been another ALLC me thinks (IMG:http://elvis-tkc.com/forum2/style_emoticons/default/elvis.gif)

Iv'e seen the ad a few times and I always sing along with it,at first my wife said "how come you know all the words?" then I told her Elvis sang it and she said "my god!! is their any songs he didn't sing?"

It sounds like it was recorded in a dream. I prefer Elvis's version.

They should have used Elvis's version of The Impossible Dream to coincide with the Heartbreak Hotel Anniversary. [img]style_emoticons/default/00000407.gif[/img] -------------------- Frank
