"One Broken Heart for Sale"? Oh, I'm definitely with you on that

Just needing to echo...
Previously, I mentioned my fav Elvis songs as a six year old. As an
adult, "One Broken Heart for Sale" is up there for me too. It's
clearly one of the true gems on his soundtracks (IMHO). I would love
to hear Barry cover it! Good call by both of you. I think Richard
has picked some of the better additional songs off "IHATWF". For my
ears, especially the lullaby like "How would you like to be?" This
album was not my fav of his soundtracks as a kid but as an adult it
is. Again, it has it's share of corn (some good fun) but a few gems.
Richard, I found a copy at my local library. It may be worth a check
and then a stroll down memory lane for you.

Not sure why but I'm wondering what "how would you like to be" would
sound like by Jonathon Richman? It sounds perfectly suited and yet I
wonder if it would lose the charm?
