Elvis Presley - Simple Minds :smack: funny story that…in college I worked nights stocking a grocery store and my coworkers and I would always sing any song that came over the speakers at the top of our lungs. We would make up funny lyrics to them and they played so often we pretty much had set lyrics for each song. Suspicious Minds became Simple Minds. Can’t believe I didn’t catch that. ---
