I have heard a demo played on the KZbin I can't remember what the tune was called now but I didn't like it and I don't think it was good enough for Elvis to sing

Quite a different feel to this versus the 'Viva Las Vegas' we know so well... Way cool find, Jon! 😎

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

@@crazy4277 it too was a great song. Thanks for watching

[@brendamckay9275]

I'm new to your channel. You share the most interesting things. Do you have to have an account to listen to the song? I don't really don't go on FB much.

Long over due it’s time for another number one song the world needs a Elvis Song so bad !!!!’

[@noonerstrickland1743]

Super cool. I don’t have Facebook so I couldn’t listen to the song. 😞 it was so awesome talking with you with my BFF Hank Hamilton. We love what you’re doing for the Elvis fans. God bless.

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

Thanks so much! Text me and I’ll send it so you can hear it

[@ElvisLass35]

I know it’s a slim chance…. But you are so right with roustabout… nobody would have guessed there was another version. Yes there were reasons for that other recording with Hal not liking the song!!! But…. Why can’t this be the case for this one?? Eeekkk it would be the find of all finds. Let’s hope RCA dig deep! What a great find it would be!!!! Great video xxx

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

Thank you!

[@gracieg7601]

Jon that was lovely birthday for james. Also thanks for setting that up for Ma Dixie to be there. Im a fan of your stores. Great places. I also play Elvis trivia with Ashley in Saturday nights. Thanks for being the nice man who supplied us all with prizes. I’ve been on the receiving end of the prizes. Thanks !

[@themanofmanyvoicescolindex9770]

Can’t wait for this it’s gonna be epic!

[@carolinjersey5381]

Just listened to the snippet on Facebook. My mind kept speeding it up. I imagine Elvis would have recorded it more upbeat. I hope RCA lets you know. A great find Jon!! 🎶

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

Nothing against Sid Tepper but I agree.. Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman wrote a classic

[@jjb653]

Wow.. This is absolute gold 🥇.. The studio probably commissioned a few songwriters to submit songs for the movie and that one was not chosen? Just a guess 🙂

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

I agree that’s what happened… just like Roustabout!

[@craigplumlee]

Some darn good songs here. "Wonderful World" is underrated I think. Good info 😄

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

Thanks for watching!!

[@rabboyce4770]

It was in the running for the Oscar for best movie song

[@crazy4277]

Amazing! You bring us the greatest 'stuff', Jon! This is brilliant, I DIG it! Imagine if somewhere in the RCA vaults there is a copy of Elvis singing this!?! 😲😉👍

[@PauloPereira-jj4jv]

Probably not.

[@gracieg7601]

Agreed.

I enjoyed seeing these demos. It's very interesting to find out there's another version of Viva Las Vegas! Thanks for the info!

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

You are welcome!

[@tallman4040]

Don't forget he also did two different songs called, "Kissin Cousins".

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

True!! Good point. Thanks for watching

Please share also on Instagram. I’m not a FB lover….like many other people…. Thanks ❤️❤️❤️

[@harleyalderson3533]

The only reason they didn't release the song I'm a roustabout was because of the lyrics "stick it in your ear" were racy for the time much like the song one night of sin

How could "Smokey Mountain Boy" have originally been written for DOUBLE TROUBLE, a movie that came out three years AFTER 1964's KISSIN' COUSINS...?

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

It was a different song. I listened to the demo

[@allendunlea7458]

Ben Wiseman once said and i have this Elvis recorded many songs that were never released different versions of the same title did studio sessions that were never documented in a uk the man and his music mag

[@robertmorra8603]

Possibly he never recorded this version if he chose the released version. Elvis did not record vocals on every demo he was given.

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

The same was said for Roustabout 25 years ago. Let’s hope RCA digs deeper!

[@aronjones7237]

This is a great find! RCA would hire several different sets of writers to write songs with the same name for possible use in Elvis's upcoming movie he would be filming... such as the mentioned Roustabout... but also from the same movie was 2 completely different versions of Poison Ivy League.. Elvis chose the one we hear in the movie, the other version was subsequently recorded in '64 by Ral Donner for his new single on the Fontana label..... great song! Keep up the good work and keep on rockin Jon!!!!!!!😎

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

@@aronjones7237 Thanks for watching!

[@toni-gaybirdwell9414]

That note on the label of “Smokey Mountain Boy” is in correct, as “Double Trouble” was filmed 3 years after “Kissin’ Cousins”. It must have been written later by someone who didn’t do their homework.

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

Thanks for watching

[@ronaldsnippe813]

You are right

[@jmlathion2909]

The answer to your question is : NO. Unfortunately... What was recorded or not is well documented in the Sessions books.

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

The same was said about Roustabout 25 years ago. Thanks for watching

[@jmlathion2909]

@@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly For every musical scene in a movie they commissioned songwriters to provide dedicated songs. From which Elvis would pick one to record. So there are many leftovers. Rarely would Elvis select and record two songs with the same title like Kissin Cousins. Nobody would pay for recording sessions with Elvis Presley to record something that was not meant to be used. Roustabout is a different situation because Hal Wallis didn’t like the title song that was first recorded. So Elvis re-recorded the other Roustabout by Giant Baum Kaye. However Otis Blackwell insisted that his song had also been recorded. That could only be proven when an acetate turned up that was kept by Winfield Scott, because the sessions tapes for Roustabout are essentially lost. However for Viva Las Vegas the set of sessions tapes is complete. There were songs there that were not released at the time (among them all the duets), but no Viva Las Vegas. Most everything is documented regarding these productions by now.

[@privateperson2940]

It's a Wonderful World is from Live a Little Love a LIttle. Not Roustabout.

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

Young as a circus parade, it's a wonderful world Pretty as pink lemonade, it's a wonderful world Life is a carnival, live it for all your worth You are the star of the greatest show on earth This big wide world is a clown with his nose painted red A rainbow colored balloon's dancing high overhead It's everyone's oyster, step up get your pearl It's a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful world

[@privateperson2940]

@@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly I think we are both right. The opening song on Live A Little Love A Little was Wonderful World. The song lyrics was rewritten for Elvis and this movie. It was a Cliff Richard song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gomnlGenfcZ-ZpI

[@privateperson2940]

I might add its a beautiful song. Many by the King.

[@redogsummers]

Great video. Though I'm confused how a song could be written for Double Trouble then used in Kissin Cousins when Kissin Cousins came out 3 years before? Or have I misunderstood?

[@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly]

I was just reading the label. I’m not sure when that when it was written on

[@redogsummers]

@@TheEPBlvdPawnShopJonDaly Yes it could well be a cataloguing clerical error from years ago.

[@iowa61]

The are a few great exceptions. But in general the Elvis movie songs were awful beyond understanding. Humiliating. And really hurt the King’s career.
