Álbum Girl Happy de Elvis Presley - Canciones

Girl Happy

Reseña
La banda sonora de 1965 'Girl Happy' es otro ejemplo característico de los álbumes que Elvis Presley grababa para sus películas en la mitad de la década. Este trabajo, por tanto, forma parte de una etapa de la discografía de Elvis Presley marcada por la producción en cadena de filmes y canciones. De hecho, la película era una comedia romántica ambientada en las vacaciones de primavera en Florida.
En consecuencia, el sonido del álbum es de un pop ligero y desenfadado. Las canciones son sencillas y están diseñadas para encajar en las escenas de la película. Como resultado, el disco carece de la profundidad y la fuerza de sus grandes obras.
Además, la calidad del material es, una vez más, muy irregular. A pesar del esfuerzo de Elvis Presley, muchas de las canciones son olvidables y no están a la altura de su inmenso talento. La canción que da título al disco es, quizás, la más recordada.
En definitiva, 'Girl Happy' es un producto de su tiempo, un testimonio de una época en la que el "Rey del Rock" estaba atrapado en una jaula de oro en Hollywood, lejos del artista revolucionario que había sido.

[X]letra de Girl Happy
[Chorus:]
Girl happy, yes I'm girl happy
Girl happy, can't you see
Every girl I see looks good to me
What crazy way I were to be
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well...
[Chorus]
Every time I see a pretty face
My heart just heads for outer space
I need a girl to make my life worth of living
Yes...
[Chorus]
I've been like this since I was just a baby boy
First nurse that rocked my cradle made me jump to joy
Mama keep your daughter out of sight
I'm in a loving mood tonight
I love a life of nothing but beautiful women
Well...
[Chorus]
I've been like this since I was just a baby boy
First nurse that rocked my cradle made me jump to joy

Girls on the beaches commit a sin
They don't show yards and yards of skin
Preceding message to you has been

Maybe your yen is for tennis courts
Maybe romancing is in your thoughts
Enjoy all outdoor and indoor sports
Through the courtesy of the Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce
Any male in Fort Lauderdale who is not pursuing a cute female
Will automatically land in jail
That's the law in Fort Lauderdale
Pretty girls eighteen to twenty-three

Get love instruction for free from me

[X]letra de Do Not Disturb
Let's take the phone off the hook
Turn the lights way down low
Baby put down that book
Tell the maid to go
Do not disturb
Hang the sign on the door
Do not disturb
It's time to make love
And I can't wait anymore
I'll just pull down the blind
Now come over here
I've got one thing in mind
Let's get comfortable dear
Do not disturb
Hang the sign on the door
Do not disturb
It's time to make love
And I can't wait anymore
Everything's right tonight
Mmmm, it's great when we kiss
Now your arms hold me tight
Let's stay like this

[X]letra de Cross My Heart and Hope To Die
I can't explain about last night
Though things didn't look just right
Please believe me there was nothing wrong
I thought about you baby all night long
Cross my heart, hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie, mmm
Talk about a piece of rotten luck
You do a friend a favor and you wind up stuck
She couldn't hold a candle to you, no siree
Very hard to handle like a Model T
Cross my heart, hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie
Please believe me when I say
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
From you 'cause I don't have to look too hard
To see what I've got in my own back yard
So be forgiving and forget
Don't say my alibi's all wet (?)
I miss those kisses from your honeycomb
This humble bumble bee just wants to fly back home
Cross my heart, hope to die
Well I wouldn't tell you no lie
I wouldn't tell you no lie
No no no no no no
I wouldn't tell you no lieComposición: Ben Weisman (2), Sid WayneMúsicos invitados: The Jordanaires (Backing Vocals) - The Meanest Girl In Town 1:55

[X]letra de Do the Clam
Hey, everybody, gather 'round
Listen to that bongo sound
Grab the first one in your reach
Now we're going to shake the beach
Do the clam, do the clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the clam
You can get your heart to spin
On the outside looking in
Moon ain't gonna last all night
Well, let's work up an appetite
Do the clam, do the clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the clam
Everybody's got that beat
Well, listen to those happy feet
Ain't you glad that you found out
What the clam is all about?
Do the clam, do the clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the clam
Do the clam, do the clam
Grab your barefoot baby by the hand
Turn and tease, hug and squeeze
Dig right in and do the clam
