Curly Top and I felt we had include to Elvis in a cache since he is considered the “King of Rock ‘n’ Roll” or simply "The King" by many. We chose Hound Dog because of the interesting controversy created by his performance of the song. Makes you wonder how some of today’s music videos would be rated?
“By the spring of 1956, rock ‘n’ roll sensation Elvis Presley is fast becoming a national phenomenon.” “Everywhere Presley performs, his sultry looks, swinging hips, and dynamic vocal style drive teenage listeners wild.” “…..it is his appearance on The Milton Berle Show on June 5, 1956 that triggers the first controversy of his career. Presley sings his latest single, “Hound Dog”, with all the pelvis-shaking intensity his fans scream for. Television critics across the country slam the performance for its ‘appalling lack of musicality’, ‘for its vulgarity’ and ‘animalism’." “Presley’s music, with its combination of both rhythm and blues and country influences, helps launch rock ‘n’ roll; his intense popularity among America’s youth makes him one of the first media superstars.” (Excerpts from Culture Shock)
We liked the performance of this song by young Forrest Gump in the movie of the same name!
FTF: Zippo pocket flask (hound dogs don't need large flasks).
Don't forget to sign the dog!
