"A Little Less Conversation" is a song (written by Mac Davis and Billy Strange) originally recorded by Elvis Presley for the movie Live a Little, Love a Little in 1968. It was released by RCA Victor as a single, but the release was only a moderate success,[citation needed] indicative of the diminishing returns of Presley's movie recordings at that time.

The song was also featured in Bolt.

1968 Re-recording

Soon after the release of the single, Presley re-recorded the song for the soundtrack of Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special, though this track was not used in the program and would circulate on bootlegs for years before being officially released by RCA in the 1990s.[citation needed]

At the last minute, "A Little Less Conversation" (Remix Version) was added as the album's 31st track just before its release in October 2002. The song also hit #2 in the Romanian Singles Chart, being kept off the top spot by t.A.T.u..[1]
