Remembers Beatlemania? When the Beatles held the top five positions and had 26 songs on the chart? But Elvis is bigger (figuratively) than the Beatles. So where’s Elvismania? Or did he creep up on society? Well, when your first charting pop song spend 8 weeks at number one, you’re not creeping up on anybody. “I Want You, I Need You, I Love You,” with its solitary week at number one is a reminder: whatever Elvis touched turned to gold. Otherwise, this song is stupid: boring love song, no rock instrumentation and Elvis sounding like an American Idol reject.
