This is probably one of the most significant songs in the history of rock n roll. Those opening two notes grab hold of you, and then Elvis bursts through the speakers. I don't think I ever knew all the correct lyrics until today. I found them here. I never knew there was a 'drummer boy from Illinois'. It didn't matter to me, since it was all about the overall feeling of the song. I knew it was about a party in the jail and all the inmates having a good time. It was a pretty good movie too, as far as Elvis movies go.
