Armed Forces Survivor Round 5

Senior Service and Busy Bodies are out. I'm not sad about Busy Bodies being voted out because it is one of the weaker tracks, but I was really hoping that Senior Service would stick around. It has so many great pop hooks, and the lyrics are fun too.

Armed Forces was the first Elvis album I bought, shortly after it came out (I finally persuaded myself to buy it because of the bonus Live at Hollywood High EP). Accidents Will Happen lured me in, but Senior Service set the hook in deep. It was the song that made me an Elvis fan.

I'm sorry to see it go so soon...

It's funny isn't it - I've been voting Senior Service out since the start - I mean, it's not terrible cos very little Elvis is terrible - but as soon as I saw the list I thought 'Senior Service' is the weakest. But all the love for Senior Service here is making me wanna revisit it. I'll give it a spin later.

I prefer Busy Bodies - does anyone else see a resemblance in parts to the chorus of 'Homburg' by Procol Harum?
