Long Tall Sally
Elvis Presley Lyrics
Gonna tell Aunt Mary about Uncle John
He claim he got the misery but he's havin' lots of fun, oh baby
Yea-a-ah, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight
Well, long tall Sally she's built for speed
She got everything that uncle John need, oh baby
Yea-a-ah, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
Well, I saw Uncle John with bald-headed Sally
He saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley, oh baby
Yea-a-ah, baby
Oh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight
Well, long tall Sally she's built sweet
She got everything that uncle John need, oh baby
Yea-a-ah, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight
You know, I saw Uncle John with bald-headed Sally
He saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley, oh baby
Yea-a-ah, baby
Oh, baby
Havin' me some fun tonight, go!
I wanna have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Have some fun tonight
Everything's all right
Have some fun, havin' some fun tonight

Elvis Aaron Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977) was an American singer and actor. Regarded as one of the most significant cultural icons of the 20th century, he is often referred to as the "King of Rock and Roll" or simply "the King".
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience.

Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, and relocated to Memphis, Tennessee, with his family when he was 13 years old. His music career began there in 1954, recording at Sun Records with producer Sam Phillips, who wanted to bring the sound of African American music to a wider audience. Accompanied by guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black, Presley was a pioneer of rockabilly, an uptempo, backbeat-driven fusion of country music and rhythm and blues. In 1955, drummer D. J. Fontana joined to complete the lineup of Presley's classic quartet and RCA Victor acquired his contract in a deal arranged by Colonel Tom Parker, who would manage the singer for more than two decades. Presley's first RCA single, "Heartbreak Hotel", was released in January 1956 and became a number one hit in the United States. With a series of successful network television appearances and chart-topping records, he became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll. His energized interpretations of songs and sexually provocative performance style, combined with a singularly potent mix of influences across color lines during a transformative era in race relations, made him enormously popular—and controversial.
In November 1956, Presley made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Drafted into military service in 1958, Presley relaunched his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He held few concerts however, and guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, following a seven-year break from live performances, he returned to the stage in the acclaimed television comeback special Elvis, which led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of highly profitable tours. In 1973, Presley gave the first concert by a solo artist to be broadcast around the world, Aloha from Hawaii. Years of prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at his Graceland estate, just 42 years of age.
Presley is one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century. Commercially successful in many genres, including pop, country, blues, and gospel, he is the best-selling solo artist in the history of recorded music. He won three competitive Grammys, received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36, and has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame.

@TheA CAN
thats bullshit...
elvis had MUCH better marketing through making movies, a more diversity of songs.
at the beginning no radio wanted to play elvis songs because he sounded to black for white radios and white for black radios...
Because people wanted to hear richard and chuck berry elvis was allowed to play his music on white peoples radios.
berry and richard had a huge advantage!
Thats not all.
In the 60s richard and berry were niesches.
Elvis was still dominating in the charts.
Elvis got that popular because the people wanted to hear elvis!
You're just a shady racist

Muy bien merecido el título del rey del rock, Elvis único en voz y ritmo en una gran canción como es esta!!
Mitzi Wyman
Love this!
I also Little Richard’s version - both brilliant but quite different sounds.
I can just imagine a young Elvis singing this - he kinda makes it swing - gorgeous.
Bob Wooler
The Beatles outclassed both of them.
TheA CAN
@Mitzi Wyman Yes...I agree...LRichard was better!
Mitzi Wyman
Little Richard did an amazing version - and is underestimated as a singer. He did much more than just holler! That said elvis was great too - and brings his own style to this. They are both greats.
Spirit Animal
İt's Richard song for goodness sake! And no one can sing like him.
Spirit Animal
@Wayne Villette laughable comment.
