Like A.C. Newman’s take on “Take On Me,” Department Of Eagles’ Elvis cover is part of Starbucks’ Valentines Day-approved Sweetheart compilation. Sip your morning Frappuccino while you listen at Hype Machine.

Ah, actually Dept of Eagles was formed 3 years before Grizzly Bear. And u seriously don’t know that they’re both fronted by Daniel Rossen? Dumbass.
No you didn’t, delio. fuckin’ liar.
ahh. you are all so very, very lame.
Okay, I’ll be the first person to actually comment about this great song that is my favourite of what I have heard of this compilation. Great song that is probably my favourite of the compilation!
why do people write comments just to stir people up? thats always confused me, i dont see the fun. you guys should focus more on real life
After a comment reaches -25 points it should instantly be deleted. The voting system is getting out of hand, and is drawing too much interferance to what used to be decent discussions. Eventually all of the reasonable people will just leave and all Stereogum will have is an overloaded Youtube style comment section of worthlessnoise. Just a warning.
This song is amazing too. Elvis was a great pick. I think they should do an albums worth of covers from this era. They really fit the sound.
While I believe they made a notable choice (“Love Me” is also a favorite song of mine, if not my very favorite Elvis Presley tune), I can’t say the execution did much for me. Why mess with greatness? That’s all I’m saying. Seek out Elvis’ take on it and compare. And this comes from a man that loves his covers … one hell of a lot! Carry on.
