This is such a tremendous, fun, catchy and unique song and Elvis' renditions of it are excellent. It's one of ten songs that Elvis recorded that was written by Winfield Scott.

There was some incorrect information in my previous post. Elvis recorded nine of Winfield Scott's songs, not ten.

A nice live version from a young Elvis in 1955 that is full of charm and vocal energy. The song benefits from a marvellous peice of piano playing, by I believe Floyd Cramer, which adds up to 4 stars from me.

The band on this song contains Elvis, Scotty, Bill, Jimmy Day on steel guitar and Floyd Cramer on piano. It was recorded April 30, 1955 in Gladewater, Texas. A decent pop song, rockafied.
