Songs which both Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan performed
1. A Fool Such As I
2. I'll Be Home For Christmas.
If there's another one I'll be annoyed as a Short List TM is only supposed to consist of two things with a tenuous connection. Three times is enemy action (c. Ian Fleming).
UPDATE: there appear to be at least a dozen songs which both of them recorded. Oops.
Next Short List: Foreign politicians who are/were married to English men.

Its no use: MW has a very fixed notion of what constitutes a correct response.Even "Tomorrow is a long time" a Dylan song,recorded by Elvis on a 60's LP (Spinout) is arbitarily disqualified .Referee!There is one collection which includes four Dylan songs recorded by Elvis,though some look like home recordings.Best to give a man-of-the-world shrug..
As to this latest short list:what does foreign mean? In a different country or women like Gisella Stuart politicking in the UK?
JH, that's another one. Damn.
DBC, indeed, my credibility is shot to pieces on this one*, it appears to be a very long list indeed. GS is not 'foreign' for these purposes.
* OK, try "Songs written and recorded by AC/DC and Bob Dylan with the same title".
PS if the former definition (living in a another country),nominate : Aung San Suu Kyi.
DBC, that's one of them!
Helen Clark, Kiwi .
DBC, from the chap's Wiki page:
"Davis, born in England in 1947, spent his childhood in Tanzania where his father worked for a mining-company. His father was born in China and his mother in India, but a great-great-grandfather had grown up in New Zealand.
Davis gained a Masters degree in sociology and statistics at the London School of Economics. He moved to New Zealand in 1970 to work at the University of Canterbury and completed a PhD at the University of Auckland."
In my usual high handed fashion I hereby declare him "not an English man".
What nationality is he then?Chinese?Indian? With a name like Davis?
I knew I should n't have got lured into another round of Wadsworth arbitariness.Why don't you start off by giving your designated duo and then people like me can add all the equally valid answers you've misssed and cavil about your choices? I didn't really accept the disqualification of Gisella Stuart to start with,truth be told.
Did you know that the President of Costa Rica is called Chinchilla?
She is appropriately hot-looking.
DBC, with a name like Davis, he's either Welsh or Jewish. Giselle Stuart on the other hand is English.
If you know another hot looking person called after a furry animal, then let me know and that would make a superb list.
