Sinister: Elvis/Fakers

This has been discussed before, but it's just now that I'm getting around to adding a 
comment.  Pretty obviously, Fakers was recorded before Elvis was, and when it came 
time to record Elvis, they just turned the Fakers vocals down.  But, there was some 
bleed (probably into other mics) and so you can still very faintly hear the Fakers 
vocals.  

So here's the deal: Fakers was the "original" song and Elvis was the "take-off" song.  I 
like Elvis too, but I've always wondered why so many people seem to prefer Elvis to 
Fakers.  Is it because it came out first?  I mean, it's really interesting and really fun and 
a great story...but Fakers a much better song.  Still, I really think it just goes back to 
whichever one you heard first, which would be Elvis for those people who bought the 
EP's when they came out.

There.  I said it.
