Donna Douglas A.K.A. Ellie May Clampit, I always liked her in my youth a very pretty Southern Bell who ran around in shorty shorts and farm tops on the Beverly Hillbillys show.The guys were always chasing her but they never caught her including Elvis in this movie.This song was my song to my wife at our wedding reception.Elvis could sing to the ladies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE2LsP_cPa4

The remix studio version a little better sound quality and the greatest quartet in the world singing background the Jordinares.

Frigid Pink....... that jars my memory.

 

[cyberdigger]

Steve this is fun to hear all the versions of it, reminds me of college when I was learning to play guitar, this was one of the first songs I learned to strum along to.. me and my buddies would have drunken jam sessions that sounded a lot like THIS ..[]

 

[Dugout]

Well, I had to go digging and found my old 45 record. By the way it looks, I played the heck out of it.
