Easy Come, Easy Go

Weak, but outstanding compared to the remaining of the soundtrack....

Easy Come, Easy Go, a title that seemed to sum up his career at this point. An awful time in Elvisland.

Not a great song for the swinging 60s. I'll hang on to the EP though, the last and least successful of Elvis' RCA EP output.

Guess it wasn't easy to be an Elvis fan at that particular moment in time. I was barely two years old then...

I like most of Elvis´ title tunes. However, this must be one of the worst ones, if not the worst. The difference in quality to the song of yesterday, King Creole, is really remarkable

Gotta love those lyrics :-) ...there she blows..blow what..? ;-) Oh, I see...

The title song for Elvis' 23rd movie (1967). This is one of the lesser title songs, but it isn't horrible. It is very similar in structure to "Harem Holiday" and "Double Trouble" and it is better than "Paradise, Hawaiian Style" or "Kissin' Cousins (not the single version, the one sung over the credits). The extended play had three decent songs ("I'll Take Love", "Sing You Children" and a song that could have been a single "You Gotta Stop") and two that should have been left off the EP ("The Love Machine" and "Yoga Is As Yoga Does"). This nonsense about it being hard to be an Elvis fan in 1967 or some other time is exactly that "nonsense". Shortly before the EP release, the excellent single "Indescribably Blue" was released and right around the same time as the EP the 5 star LP "How Great Thou Art" was released. His previous LP to that had been a good "Spinout" LP and after a drop off with the "Double Trouble" LP, fans were given a very good, though uneven "Clambake" LP ("Hey, Hey, Hey" can always be skipped). He might not have been on top of the charts in 1967, but he was still the king.

I've always enjoyed both the Easy Come, Easy go movie and soundtrack. It's pure mid to late 60s fun and the sound track has some enjoyable tunes like You Gotta Stop and the title track.

Banal lyrics the kind of movie song fans had come to expect as the norm in an Elvis film.

One of the top 10 songs of his career. Just kidding. Don't know the average age on this site, but for a kid like me in high school in 1967, yes it was a tough time to be a fan and justify why Elvis mattered in pop music. No one was listening to this stuff anymore except the fans who bought everything like me, but after this EP I started to have my doubts about his career surviving.

Not withstanding that it was recorded on the sound stage, this is indeed a poor track. Neither this nor the EP have any redeeming features.

Not a song with great Lyrics. but Elvis with The Jordanaires, and the band, make it work. The song is so catchy and fun to sing along to. I like the song.

"juggernaut"? "delicious...Mmm so nutritious"? It's like the writers made a bet they could get those words and lines into an Elvis Presley song (a runner-up for me is the line "A-crunch a-crunchety a crunchety crunch" from "Girls, Girls, Girls", shockingly by Leiber and Stoller). It's a pretty terrible song lyrically, but musically it is not as bad as many others. It's still pretty low in the barrel, just not the absolute bottom yet. As for the rest of the EP, I really enjoy "I'll Take Love", "Sing You Children" and "You Gotta Stop"--nice horns and guitar work on those. "Yoga is..." is probably the absolute nadir of his music (probably tied with a few other tracks) and "The Love Machine" is one of those songs I enjoyed as a child, but I'd have to call it a guilty pleasure. I pretty much hate this movie and have a hard time trying to sit through it.

Very entertaining song, like most movie title songs. Nothing special either. Three stars from me.

I've never had a problem listening to Easy Come, Easy Go (song or EP.) Although I admit the "Yoga" song makes no sense without the movie visuals. I've never had a problem at any point in my life being an Elvis fan. Not even during the height of Beatlemania and all that British invasion nonsense. I just simply ignored it and went on my way. My "friends" had their thing and I had mine. We got along fine. I find the song Easy Come, Easy Go an entertaining listen, thnough nothing special. i give it 3 stars.

I was an Elvis fan throughout his career. I even bought albums by the Beatles ,Stones, Dylan Jefferson Airplane, Cream , Hendrix etc. but I still bought Elvis's recrds. There was a time when it definitley wasn't "hip" to an Elvis fan, and by the time of Clambake I was hoping for better pictures and better albums , my appetite being whetted by the likes of Guitar Man, and Big Boss Man. It's still the same for me now- I bought the Beatles remasters , Dylans new album, and the recent Hendrix cd, but I still buy most Elvis resleases - FTD's and all.

People, I really adore this song. I rate it 5 stares. I never could decipher the lyrics, but what the heck. The song has an amazing drive and an excellent guitar solo. I'm not kidding, this is one of my favourite Elvis tracks, and I think I know them all. Maybe if you re-listen to this song, you'll get it.

They released Love Machine in the UK as a single while this track which is better anyway, and the film title would have made more sense. Not as good as You Gotta Stop and I'll Take Love, but it has plenty of drive, and I never press the skip button.

Tried watching this movie aka garbage on TV at one time; this movie is so bad and although the song "Easy Come, Easy Go" sticks in your head while listening to it the entire effort is so banal. To see Elvis imitating he's actually playing a bass guitar and he's nowhere close to actually playing it is an insult. Garbage in, garbage out.

The Rockin' Pelvis, (54/61) is my Elvis. The 70's Rocker and performer (69/73) is my Presley, but my love and infatuation with The King's music started in my early teens, in the early 1980's, with the Camden releases. And guess what musics those releases had? Yes! Movies tunes, better "hits from his movies". And for the record: I knew first Easy Come Easy Go, than Heartbreak Hotel, Hound Dog, the Memphis Sessions, Elvis Country or the Sun Sessions. Needless to say that if i liked Elvis music with Easy Come Easy Go, i was transported to another dimension in music and feelings when i heard That's all right mama, Mystery Train, You're Right I'm Left Shes Gone, or Trying to get to You. Easy come Easy go is not a great song, not even a good one, maybe a less than mediocre song. But there was a time in my life that it was almost all i got and it sounded very good!

I've always admired this movie title song even though it's not a masterpiece. It's such an enjoyable, fun, unique and catchy song and I've never skipped it. There are many hundreds of songs that Elvis recorded that are superior to this song though. I rate this song 4 stars.
