This is one of the rare cases where the cover overshadow the original.
Pet Shop Boys made this song their own and created this masterpiece!
absolutely!!
The old man's last line "You went away. It should make me feel better. But I don't know how I'm going to get through." is actually a quote from the Pet Shop Boys hit 'What Have I Done to Deserve This' (feat. Dusty Springfield).
my favourite version of this song! melody just has that haunting and nostalgic feeling❤️love it so much
Number one for 4 weeks in the UK.
I was another of those that liked this song a lot and never knew it was an Elvis cover at first.
Só comecei a gostar dessa música depois do Pet Shop Boys!
Essa versão é maravilhosa ❤❤❤❤
They originally did this as a tribute to elvis on a special elvis tribute night along with many other stars including meat loaf and boy goerg then realised it as a single and it went to no1
Elvis is my favourite singer of all time and I love his version of Always on my Mind. But I also love the Pet Shop Boys and this version is just great. No need to choose one or the other. I enjoy them both!
That's how you do a new version of a classic song, you make it in your own style and create a new classic, just the way Elvis did. This version was a homage to Elvis, it was made in 1987, 10 years after Elvis passed.
I like this party disco version when I want to listen to a happy energetic song. Elvis version is a MASTERPIECE though.
Neil is 70 today and still doing fantastic new stuff. The last album is beautiful. The clip makes no much sense because it's like a trailer for their movie "it couldn't happen here".
Seph - The "old guy" is the late great Joss Ackland. And the video is montage from the PSB film "It couldn't happen here". A Surreal journey from nothing to fame and all the trappings along the way. Directed by Jack Bond, who spoke with the boys about their lives and he poured elements of their lives scattered across the surrealism backdrop.
PSB really made this their own, so hard to compare. This could have been released today... Incredible song.
One of the PSB's best. The video was a montage from the Pet Shop Boys' movie, It Couldn't Happen Here. The priest was one of the characters in the film. They were massive at the time. This version of Always On My Mind was Christmas No 1 in 1987.

Great reaction to this uk christmas #1. Your positivism brightens my day ❤
See, when Elvis sings it you believe him and you feel like he's singing this song directly to you. And when they sings it, it sounds poppy and rhythmic, beautiful, but without soul.
You Sir are very cool. Thanks for your authentic self sharing. Much appreciated. And subscribed.
Ooooooo me some Pet Shop Boys! That music comes in and I'm right away energized/happy. His voice is so pretty. It's so damn catchy and boppy while the lyrics are sad. Yeah, the approach they took in this cover is so different to the original and always put a grin on my face.
Pet Shop Boys have a distinct sound. This is a very nice rendition Seph, up beat party song. I played their music a lot back then. However, if I want to hear the king of music sing it in his uniquely beautiful, emotional and powerful way, then Elvis it is. Both are enjoyable. 👍🎶🎧
I love Elvis version, more sad. But i also love the Petshop Boys version as well. They hit you differently, & are so different. Growing up in the 80s, Petshop Boys is where i heard this song 1st. Thanks for doing this. ✨️🩵💜✨️

Elvis will always be #1 for me!!!
This is my favorite cover ever. I like the Elvis version, but I prefer this version to be honest, probably because it was the first version I heard. The music video is from their surreal music film "It Couldn't Happen Here" from 1988. The old man is played by British actor Joss Ackland (1928-2023). At the end of the song when he says "You went away. It should make me feel better. But I don't know how I'm going to get through". That's from another Pet Shop Boys song, "What Have I Done to Deserve This?" a duet with Dusty Springfield that was released earlier in 1987, the same year as this song.
the video wasn't shot for the single, it is edited from PSB's film "It Couldn't Happen Here" which is and based on the music from their first two studio albums "Please" and "Actually".
The film was initially conceived as a one-hour video based on "Actually", but then developed into a surreal feature film, with a running time of approx. 86 minutes
Elvis’s was phenomenal but this version will forever be my go 2!!!
People will scoff but this is regarded by many as the greatest cover of all time because it completely different to the original unlike most covers,
The song came about because they were asked to do an Elvis song for an Elvis tribute show and it was so well received they were pursued to release it and it actually gave them the coveted 1997 UK Christmas number 1.
The video is made up from clips from their own film called "it couldn't happen here" which is named after another awesome album tracks from the album Actually. The album that has Kings Cross on it!!
Oh and the actor is Joss Ackland, known for being the baddie in Lethal Weapon 2 among other things!
For years I only knew of this version. It wasn't till like 1999 that I heard the Elvis version! I prefer this version though!
Elvis is my all-time favorite singers. But as teenager in the 80’s I loved this song. I do like the Pet Sop Boys version better. The Elvis and the PSB versions are both better than Willie Nelson version. Willie won song of the year for his version.
The video is parts of their movie, that’s why it’s a little random. You should check out Can you forgive her by Pet shop boys, the video is great too.
I like Elvis' version more. It delivers more emotion. But I like the Pet Shop Boys, listened often to their music back then.
I love this song UK have a goat professionnal singer i listen so mutch time ,from France 😘
Elvis did not use artificial voice effects and all or most of them are being used in this recording. Elvis didn't need those, and it has been said that adding pitch correction to Elvis's voice would destroy it. Anyway, I do like the sound of this. It's good. It's quirky and funny and I like it. But I would never say people using all these sound effects and voice improvements are as good as Elvis. I just wonder what they'd sound like without all the embellishment. So many of later singers lack talent and cover it up with electronic devices and flashiness.
But back in 1987, when PSB made this, there was no pitch correction either.
@@andersilar4970 They're using voice enhancements and later they do use pitch correction.
Ich habe die Version der Pet Shop Boys zuerst gehört (mag einfach elektronische Musik) und erst viel später erfahren, dass dieser Song von Elvis ist. Es sind fast zwei völlig verschiedene Songs, da so unterschiedlich. Bitte reagiere auf LEAVING aus dem Jahr 2012. Ich liebe es und das Video zeigt die Berliner S Bahn - ich bin Berlinerin 😁
Willie Nelson also covered this song. I do like the Pet Shop Boys version though.
Though elvis made this song famous the first person to record it was Brenda lee. In my opinion PSB version is the best version of it and was voted a few year back as best cover song of all time by listeners of BBC Radio 2 in the uk
Yay! Can’t wait to see you react to more PSB. Maybe react to So Hard or Absolutely Fabulous next? They’ve got great videos too.
Oh I love the 80s! And I love British humour! Only the English could come up with something like this. The old guy has been in tons of stuff, usually a villian, go figure. He was the main baddie in Lethal Weapon 2.
You know that this is a Willie Nelson song, right? Also Dave Gahan, you know, Depeche Mode, you've heard of Depeche Mode, right? Dave did a cover with Soulsavers, look it up.
What is this *Depeche Mode* !? I have never heard of them 🤔🤔🤔
@@SephPlays 😅😂
I prefer the Pet Shop Boys version. The same goes for the song "Never Can Say Goodbye". I love the way Michael Jackson sings the song, but I love the faster and poppier version by "The Communards" even better. Seph, you might also like this band.
Thank you so very much for sharing, I kinda like the Pet Shop Boys version 💙(it's quite interesting 😊), also the guy in the video, he does kinda have a villain type [voice], but I don't remember him in movies on Bill and Ted (or maybe the sequel), all I think of think of that he might of did some voice over at the time (like your fix of Saturday morning animation or something like that)...you have a good day 😊.
I really like this version because its jazzed up, but Elvis's version is more gut wrenching with such a lot of Emotion, this version is more a fun version , still good though xx
My favourite version of this song. Oh and I was around when it came out. Oh and didn't country legend Willie Nelson write this.
Hey Seph! Listen to Dave Gahan singing this song! It’s b-e-autiful! ❤
Good beat but it lacks the sincerity Elvis brings~ then again I am always gonna prefer The Elvis🥰
💁🏻♂️👍👍👍👍👍😉😌✌️😍
The music by itself may be good, but this happy, upbeat and cheery version does not go with the lyrics in this song at all. It's a break up song about regrets and lost love. I like the Pet Chop Boys, but not this one, just because of the dissonance between the tune and the meaning of the song.
And to title this video with "better than Elvis" in bold later is just a bit tasteless quite frankly.
This is Pet Shop Boys at their peak. This song was included on their flawless 1988 INTROSPECTIVE album.
This bit where you started singing, "all those lonely, lonely times. And I guess I never told you..." brought me to tears. (2:39)
Oh, I know. Those ventriloquist dummies creep me out too. (4:08)
Who looks at them dummies and says to themselves "Omg I HAVE TO GET ME ONE OF THOSE" 👀
@@SephPlays serial killers
Got an interesting question for you! Have you ever met someone "Like a friend or family member" who has done ventriloquism as a hobby?
@@SephPlays As far as I know, no friends or family members have ever killed anyone. Er, I mean, taken up ventriloquism. 😉
Hahaha 🤣🤣
Seph, please react to Pet Shop Boys "Go West". The video with 72M views. Incredibly beautiful. I Iove it. Tks Seph.

just for you :D
@@SephPlays thank you Seph. ☺️
Oh no Seph I'm afraid for your life. Better than The Elvis? NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (IMO)🤣🤣
Much better.
Que genios que son los pet shop boys,de ese tema del montón hicieron una obra maestra. 🥰
Auto tuned, and artificial produced. I am an old singer, I like real voices. Sounds like a static breakdown.
@@MaryJones-vo5nz auto tune didn’t exist when this was recorded!
Come on seth this is never better than elvis and I still like this one but no never better, back to elvis my friend for you 😅
There’s something about the pet shop boys version that elevates it from the Elvis version
Nope… Elvis is way better than
Definitely NOT better than Elvis Presley....but not a bad version, for sure ✌🏼
Nope not better than Elvis!!
C'mon..
Elvis is way better than this!!
please don't say better than Elvis, say different than Elvis ok
I will say it's better than Elvis 😂 but then been a PSB fan since 1987 so a bit Biased 😉
