Funny, priceless story: my favorite "tall tale" of my dads has to do with the song. When I was a kid my dad said he met Elvis and asked him to somehow dedicate this song to my mom to impress her when they first started dating lol. Our last name is Pelotto but, the "e" and the last "o" are pronounced as an"a". So, it really sounds like the background singers are saying are name, "Pa-pa-lotta, pa-pa-lotta" And, of course, after I came along the song was meant for ME, TOO. We always danced to this and he told me so, very, very many times I could put a chain around his neck and take him anywhere I wanted lol 😍 I'm currently 34 now. Unfortunately my mom passed away in 2001, my dad passed away in 2003. I cannot listen to this song without shedding a few "happy tears" so, thank you very much for stirring up these wonderful memories for me by posting this!!!! 😍😍😍

Elvis.."Mean Woman Blues"!!!...not only a good song but a great fight scene added from the movie, "Lovin' You"....this scene is Near-and-Dear to my heart as my old friend Kenny , who passed many years ago plays the 'Heavy', just causing all sorts of trouble for Elvis!!!! Fun Scene for Everyone! It would be a great Homage if you could react to this memorable scene!!!......Elvis Presley Best Movie Scene Ever Mean Woman Blueswmv - KZfaq.....Thankyou so much for your kindness.......Warmly, Paul

Teddy bear was from the film loving you that particular scene when he does the song he does one other number it goes down to the audience is mom and dad are sitting at the end of the aisle Eddie walks up tube is the only time you see his parents in the audience but as I said he bathe 3 Phillips during the late 50s he bade Loving You Jailhouse Rock Love Me Tender it just before he went to the service he did kick Creo so he was never out of of the theaters or off the Record charts at all during the two years he was in the military for 58 to 60.

And just like me and millions of others on this planet, when you're listening to him you can't help but just move whether it's moving your shoulders moving your hips moving your legs moving your foot tapping your foot. It don't matter you're moved in some way shape or form. Keep those Elvis Presley reactions coming cuz you really do a good job of it.

He was shy but he was comfortable singing and not shy once settled in He lived to have fun and cut up and laugh.He behaved this way during all his movie sessions and recording sessions.His cousin Billy said Elvis was a barrel of laughs to be around, that his sense of humor and comedic timing was incomparable.He came up with a joke faster than the best comedian and his delivery of it was incomparable.He said Elvis got up each day planning what fun they were going to do that day and every day there was a different plan.He was the coolest dude on the planet.He did wild and crazy and dangerous so much that his entourrae nicknamed him Crazy.He would drive down Elvis Presley Blvd going 150 mph just to scare his passenger.He rented out the entire roller rink and played football on skates with the idea of knocking your opponent off their skates onto the concrete floor.He was very imaginative in creating his antics.Memphis Mafia Kid on youtube is a must watch His closest friend and cousin Billy Smith dicuss things they did with Elvis.You will see how fun loving he was a the true cool dude..the coolest ever in real life.. not just in the movies as James Dean was play acting to be

You caught it! Yes, Elvis' onstage sense of humor often was "insider stuff" - just to his band & to the Jordanaires...he'd roll his eyes or make some facial gesture for his buddies, because he could never get over the fuss the public was making over him. He thought it was funny that just shaking his leg could send women into convulsions, etc.

He lived his life always playing and joking, He loved to laugh. He was stationed in Friedburg Germany, I was there 84-88 I used to eat at the Elvis Presley Dining Facility. He Paid for this place to be built, With booths and little juke boxes on every table. Coolest thing I ever seen, Elvis paintings throughout the whole place. He was a beautiful person, with such a beautiful Soul. He met Pricilla there, she was in High School at the time. I know you really appreciate music, you validate that every Elvis song you do. I am afraid all the Elvis's are long gone. It's almost as if this generation has not earned it. Keep Praying and maybe someday. Thanks Brother for all you do... Daniel
