What'd I Say
Elvis Presley Lyrics

Hey mama, don't you treat me wrong
Come and love your daddy all night long
All right, hey, hey, all right now

See the girl with the diamond ring
She knows how to shake that thing
All right, hey, hey, Mmm, all right now

Ahhh, Ohh, Ahhh, Ohh, Ahhh, Ohh, Ohh
Make me feel so good, make me feel so good right now

Make me feel so good, make me feel so good right now
Make me feel so good, make me feel so good

Mmm, see the girl with the red dress on
She can do the dog all night long
All right, hmm what'd I say, tell me what'd I say

Tell me what'd I say, tell me what'd I say right now
Tell me what'd I say, tell me what'd I say right now
Tell me what'd I say, tell me what'd I say

Ahhh, Ohh, Ahhh, Ohh, Ahhh, Ohh, Ohh
It's all right, It's all right right now
Baby, it's all right, Baby, it's all right right now
Baby, it's all right, Oh yeah!

Baby shake that thing, baby shake that thing right now
Baby shake that thing, baby shake that thing right now
Baby shake that thing, well I feel all right

Elvis Presley was simply the King. He was a very, very shrewd performer. He made sure he always surrounded himself with the best dancers, singers, and performers. And one thing you never heard anyone accuse him of: being lazy. He worked very hard at being good. What a nice choreographed bit here.

Elvis is his own story, like it or not. I personally favour his Nashville work and especially the early 60's like "Elvis Is Back" album, but also the TTWII an Elvis Country phase of the early 70's. Of course there is this revolutionary 50's artist too. But you cannot deny that all these Elvis movies - no matter what you prefer - are part of the story or picture, and build up to the overall picture. And like it or not - sometimes - things work really great in one of those movies, and it just does not matter what people think. This (Viva Las Vegas) IS a great movie, it still entertains, and it still works. This video clip shows it. I LOVE IT A LOT. Thanks!!!

when you look at the whole picture the whole body of work Elvis was the most talented. I don't think he gets enough credit for being as much of the diversitile singer he is I don't think he gets enough credit for being as great of a dancer as he was. the man could play the guitar could play the piano actually could write music he just decided not to the man can sing every form of music even in other languages. I even heard him sing Hebrew once. LOL. just love the guy

I just realized that’s Bobby Banas in the light blue jacket, who’s really crazy at 2:45. Look on YouTube for his similar moves doing the Nitty Gritty on a TV show in 1964. His partner at the beginning is Teri Garr, who was a comedy actress in the 1970s and ‘80s. And that’s Toni Basil in the red dress, well known in the early 1980s for her hit song “Hey Mickey”.

@SunkSarawong Lee I never blamed Priscilla for making money on Elvis. Fact is, he’d driven his estate into the ground by the time he died. He spent so much money and gave away so much money and cars and jewelry and gifts to people that the estate was almost insolvent in 1977. The county put a lien on Graceland for the property taxes in 1980. If you remember how fast MC Hammer went bankrupt after making $30m/year when U Can’t Touch This came out, Elvis had done it 13 years before him!

So Elvis had Lisa Marie, his Dad and Grandmother as beneficiaries in his will. His Dad died in ‘79 and his Grandma in ‘80. His Dad had Priscilla as beneficiary in his will. Lisa Marie’s stake was to be held in tryst until her 25th birthday in 1993, leaving Priscilla the lions share of Elvis’ estate and the back taxes owed on Graceland.

When she opened the books and found out what a mess the estate was in, she needed help so she hired accountants and lawyers for advice. This happens all the time - I myself was involved in my great-aunt’s estate disaster going through probate for 2 years with lawyers. Elvis did not manage his money well at all.

They advised her to fix up the place (it needed repair paint/carpet/utilities) and open it for tours to try to make some money. She did and the rest is history. Elvis Presley Enterprises now makes more money per year than he ever did at the peak of his fame!

SunkSarawong Lee

2y↑3

He do want to marry Ann. But there’s so much pressure from the manager and Priscilla father who threatened him because he have promise to marry Priscilla. To be honest, Ann would have been a great choice because she was a true and great friend, till this day they she still kept privacy and never say anything bad about Elvis like Priscilla who use his name to make money.

Joe

2y↑4

Elvis and Priscilla met at an Army base in Germany in 1959 when she was 14. Her Dad was in the military and she lived there and went to high school there. A school friend of hers Dad knew Elvis and brought her to meet him in person one night. The rest is history. As much as Elvis liked Priscilla, she apparently liked him even more, threatening her parents with suicide if they didn’t let her keep seeing him. Pretty heavy stuff. Elvis just wasn’t robbing the cradle, the cradle was crazy for him too lol. So they were an item long before Elvis met Ann Margaret. But yeah Margaret would have been a better match for him.

@Gerard Sinon jr yeah that def makes more sense - I know the The King sung with The Jordanaires, but couldn't find any of this on vinyl and technically he's not singing with them. I figured they may have used The Coasters in the film, as the closest I've found is The Coasters version, which is slightly different to this but it's hard to tell as movie versions of Elvis songs often differ to the 45 versions.. "Let Yourself Go" is a classic example of this.

Elvis' Sun records and early RCA (1954-1958) was the period when he was making music you could say "changed the world". This? It's a neutered, vanilla cover of a Ray Charles classic. It's supposed to be about sex - raw, stripped down, snarling, erotic. The call and response section is supposed to be an orgasm. If this is too heavy for some of you, well, that's the point. Elvis sped up the tempo, changed the key, and turned it into a poptart pop tune for naive innocent little white girls. And I'm saying this as a white boy. I completely agree he was one of the founding fathers of rock n roll, but after he came back from the Army he left his rockin chair roots of Tupelo, Mississippi behind for Ann Margaret and Hollywood. After watching this I have to go back and watch the real Ray Charles version to get rid of the vomiting feeling you get after watching this.

Joe, why blame elvis .... The film director and the producers all decide the scenes with their music directors (I think) .....Elvis just performed it as he was told to.... this is not a concert....its just a movie scene. So stop being so critical....I get it the Ray Charles version is better....but then this is how Hollywood works I suppose. They wanted a milder, watered down version.
