ELVIS PRESLEY “A Little Less Conversation” [] RCA

Dead men tell no tales – but if they are as revered as Elvis Presley, they can still kick butt 25 years after they’re in the ground.

Elvis’ irresistible new single “A Little Less Conversation” – which hits stores and radio here today – will be the hit song of the summer.

In the U.K., the remix of the little-known tune snagged the top-chart slot, giving Presley his 18th No. 1 hit there.

The song – originally written by Mac Davis and Billy Strange for the 1968 film “Live a Little, Love a Little” – has undergone a transformation in the skilled hands of Dutch musician Tom Holkenburg.

His new dance track additions make for a cutting-edge remix that dovetails perfectly, despite the time and style gap – and wisely leaves Presley’s distinctive vocals totally intact.

In the new single’s three versions – two lengthy remixes and the original 1:38 minute format – Elvis swings through the fast-tempo number with his incredible baritone at full power.
