Girl Happy es un álbum de Elvis Presley, publicado en 1965 por RCA Victor. El disco incluye 12 canciones, entre ellas «Girl Happy», «Spring Fever», «Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce» y «Startin' Tonight».
Sobre el álbum
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. La película era una comedia romántica ambientada en las vacaciones de primavera en Florida.
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.
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.
'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.

[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...

Letra
Girls on the beaches commit a sin They don't show yards and yards of skin Preceding message to you has been Through the courtesy of the Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce 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 If their technique ain't what it should be Get love instruction for free from me Through the courtesy of the Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce - Startin' Tonight1:20

Letra
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 - Cross My Heart and Hope To Die1:52
Letra
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 lie - The Meanest Girl In Town1:55
