"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 in September 1968. The initial release reached #69 on the Top 100 Billboard Singles charts. It was recorded on March 7, 1968 at Western Recorders, Hollywood, CA. This session marked the first time Elvis recorded with a live orchestra in the studio. It was first released on the RCA Camden budget label LP "Almost In Love" in November 1970.

In 2002, the song recorded for the TV Special and not the original version, was remixed by Junkie XL for the NIKE Football World Cup advertising campaign and went on to become a Number 1 hit in over 20 countries. At about the same time, a compilation of Presley's U.S. Number 1 chart hits, entitled ELV1S 30 #1 Hits, was being prepared for release. 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. This version is also used as the Main Title Theme for the television show "Las Vegas" that used to air on NBC.
