Our Hound Dog Elvis Presley cover is one of those songs that doesn’t need explaining. The moment it starts, people know exactly what’s coming — and that’s why it works so well in a live setting.
We use it as a high-impact moment in our set: punchy, upbeat, and full of attitude. It cuts through the room, lifts the energy, and pulls people towards the dance-floor without trying too hard. Older guests recognise it instantly, younger guests react to the groove, and suddenly the room feels lighter.
It’s short, sharp, and does exactly what a great live cover should do.
