Recorded in RCA's Studio B with the famous Nashville "Dream Team," including the Jordanaires, Hank Garland, and Floyd Cramer it is available on Elvis's Golden Records Vol. III. This particular cut recorded in 1960 sold over two million copies and reached Number One on Billboard's charts, as well as achieving high positions on country and R&B charts. The performance of "Stuck on You" proved the high point of the evening in May 1960 as Elvis performed the tune with the Jordanaires on Frank Sinatra's "Welcome Home" Special celebrating Elvis's separation from the Army and his return to civilian life. The performance of this song is seen as one of Elvis's finest moments, as, in the first ten seconds, Elvis breaks new ground with dance moves not seen again until many years later, and filming him "from the waist up" is but a memory. Check out Elvis's cool "slide move" in the first ten seconds of the video clip of Sinatra's television special.

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake, sugar
But you'll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick because I'm
Stuck on you

Gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin' starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Oh yeah, Uh-uh-uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

The chorus reaffirms this message - the singer declares that they are stuck on their lover and that nothing could ever keep them apart. The second verse describes the singer's desire for physical closeness with their lover in romantic ways. They want to run their fingers through their lover's hair and hold them tightly like a grizzly bear.

No matter how long his music has been out, it NEVER gets old 😧

Maryanne Melenka

It’s timeless. Can’t see how record companies don’t at least one Elvis song. Te-release enough of these revised versions. Original or none at all.. Todays music is absolutely crap, I’m 63., not a snob odd ones I like, but majority is crap.

Stitch crew 💙

I know right😮

Aubrey

it sucks that there isn't any music like this today but the good thing about music like this is that it never gets old

Tämä kappale on hyvä esimerkki siitä, kuinka yksinkertainen rockin taustasovitus pelaa loistavasti ja siihen Kuningas vetäisee täydellisen esityksensä. Jussi from Finland.
