13 Year-Old Reaction to Elvis Presley Jailhouse Rock (Music Video) | Daughter Reacts

[@pat1cust2]

I'm 68. In my mid-teens in the mid-1970s I became a fan of 1950s rock and roll including Elvis (who, sadly, happened to die on my 21st birthday, Aug. 16, 1977. He had not taken good care of his health, to say the least.) Jailhouse Rock is the theme song from a movie, of the same name, starring Elvis. This footage is from that movie (before the 1970s, there were no music videos as we now know them. All film clips accompanying songs were from movies.) It's great to see reactions of people from younger generations. I feel really old (because I am!) when reflecting that I turned 13 in 1969, the year after Elvis made his "Comeback Special" in a concert shown on national TV. Leiber and Stoller wrote a lot of Elvis's songs. This one came out when I was 1 year old! I am a mid-generation Boomer but a longtime fan of the original rock and roll from my parents' generation. My wife, 8 years younger than I am, just made it into the Boomer category. Thanks for these reaction videos. Inspiring to see you and your daughter reacting to this (for me, nostalgic) stuff

Awe... Your daughter is beautiful. She has great taste as well as your grandmother. More Elvis and your daughter ❤

Oh my, Shawn.... Zoey is your daughter, through and through. She has all of your smiles and moves when she's listening to music. So nice to meet you, Zoey. Thanks for your reactions. Take care and be well. Peace.

[@mucksmith3569]

She’s wonderful Shawn. You have a beautiful family.

[@RegenaCox-yy1rl]

You should tell your daughter that, that was made for a movie by the same name. And I heard that they tried to coregraph that routine with Elvis dancing but he couldn't do it, so they just let him dance and move like he always does when he's singing.

[@debsandz]

💜this! I was smiling the entire time! great reaction!🥰😂🙂

[@luvutons411]

One of so many Elvis hits. Your daughter Zoey definitely has your smile Shawn. ...🎤🎶🇨🇦

[@dorisgutierrez7800]

Your daughter is so adorable. She mentioned the choreography - please keep in mind that the world wasn’t ready for his hip moving action. Here he was able to display controlled movements.

[@jessicalee7119]

This is my Favorite Elvis song !!! Your daughter is a natural! So animated!!!! The other cool thing is that your daughter will be able to form her own opinion on what she hears and feel comfortable if it differs from yours. What an empowering skill for her to learn.

[@Islandboy2.0]

This was from the movie "Jailhouse Rock " from 1957.

I was pretty young at that time, but I was a big Elvis fan back then. I can still appreciate what he did for music. You guys are cute together, cheers Shawn.

Nice to meet another member of your lovely family, Shawn. Bless you all!

[@johnbember3425]

She's a natural!!! More Zoey.

[@Eyes-of-Horus]

For more Elvis give her the '68 Special. Elvis was in prime voice and charismatic all over. Have her listen to more '50s music especially the original Rock and Roll and Doo Wop. Two of the best voices for her are Tom Jones and Linda Ronstadt. They are outstanding and you can get videos of live performances. That version of the song came from a movie. I think it was Elvis' 2nd movie. So, the dance number was made for the movie. I still think it was kind of "goofy." The song was written by Leiber and Stoler (sp.) who wrote a lot of Elvis' music --- as well as many other singers and performers of the time. Elvis never wrote music but did write the words to "Love Me Tender" (when I sang this in music class I got known as the "Elvis of the Freshman Class"). Two of the most popular performers from the 50s/60s who wrote and performed their own music were Neil Sadaka and Paul Anka. You may also consider showing the times Elvis did performances on Ed Sullivan's show --- especially the one where Ed Sullivan compliments Elvis which got a lot of criticism off and more acceptance by adults of Elvis.

[@KJ-4321]

WOW! Such a FUN reaction with your adorable daughter!!!!!!! 🙆‍♀️ She is so precious and has an amazing personality!! 😀 Definitely looking very much forward to more reactions with your sweet daughter! It’s nice for her to be exposed to the amazing music from back then! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@MariaRodriguez-n4g9p]

Have your daughter check out Elvis in the 68 Comeback Special for TV. He wanted to start doing concerts after doing movies for about 7 - 8 yrs. By this time he was in his 30's wearing black leather and in his prime. In color and looking mighty good.

[@alchemy-oi8xf]

What a treat to see you with your charming daughter, Shawn! You can see both you and Shanna in her. She's a beauty, with lots of personality, and the warmth between you two is so obvious. (I'm getting a little choked up, lol!) Regarding the song, it's considered by many sources to be the first music video ever, so I guess we need to forgive the clunky '50's style choreography. Despite that, we still get to witness some of that early Elvis charisma.

[@musicaficionado2974]

Your beautiful daughter makes a great addition to your channel! And what a great idea introducing the new generation to the great music of old. Thanks and God Bless!

[@librarylady13]

Wonderful Reaction! Your daughter is awesome!

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Ha, she's fun. ❤ Glad you guys were able to take it in together. You should definitely show her Elvis doing hound dog early on on preferably the Milton Berle show but if not later that year on The Ed Sullivan show, huge deal. And I think he was only about 20 years old at the time. And of course there's all those incredible live concert performances from later in his life after he got out of the movie contract, like 1970 Live in Vegas, a whole bunch of them, but Suspicious Minds is pretty fantastic entertainment, and it was a massive hit for him at the time. Lieber and Stoller were a premiere songwriting team back then, and they wrote many songs just for Elvis.

[@stege9979]

I think your daughter will find out that his voice is probably the most versatile ever. She has so much ahead of her.

[@michaellawliss3049]

Elvis did a lot of movies also....Beautiful daughter. In the 50's and 60's his dancing was considered riskay.

[@JD_Cool]

I wish I was half as happy as your daughter! Her joy is contagious

[@musicaficionado2974]

The best Elvis Christmas song is Blue Christmas (in my opinion). Elvis was a very God loving, spiritual man and a great patriot. Thanks again!

Hello Zoey, so very nice to meet you 🦋. You are a very lovely young lady.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶❤️

[@stege9979]

If your charming daughter wants to explore Elvis...the world lies before her. He is the GOAT,. He is also the King of Rock and Roll. Still, in Spotify times his ballad "Can't Help Falling in Love" regins supreme.

Aww, Zoey is adorable. 💜💜 Hi Zoey 👋😃it's nice to see you reacting with your dad. She's got some smooth dance moves too. ❤I grew up listening to Elvis. "Teddy Bear" is one of my favorites, as is "Kentucky Rain" and much more. Thanks, Shawn & Zoey. 💙💜

LOL ... I'm nearly 75 and my grandmother used to spend all day fixing herself up for a concert in Daytona (when he first began) and ended that with a special brooch on her dress. He did an ocean full of music. Some rock, some romantic.

Strong genes in your family Shawn, be proud, she's beautiful. Fun watching father and daughter react, especially to an oldie but goodie. She's a bright light Shawn, keep evolving. I love your reactions, you keep it real. I am a boomer so peace man ☮️💞

[@Carol0000P]

Really enjoyed this reaction, I’ve subscribed hoping to follow your daughter’s Elvis journey. Here are a few things she might find interesting. Elvis did not write any of his songs, and back then there were no music videos, that only became a thing with MTV in the 80s. His voice was pure talent, no auto tune or pitch correction. Apart from his movie clips, studio records, all of his performances were real live singing. When he first started, his dancing was sort of scandalous, singers did not dance or more the way he did and after a few Tv appearances he was censored from the waist down. He was the first mega start in history. He had three or four phases, the classic rock and roll (1954-1960), Hollywood era (1960-1969), early Vegas period ( (1969-1972) and later years (1973-1977), most people merge these last two into one, the Vegas years. When his movie contract finished he returned to singing with the 1968 comeback Special. Luckily there great Elvis performances out there. Let us know if you would like some suggestions. Looking forward to the next one. TCB⚡️

[@caseyb4425]

Elvis was a brief gift from God

[@shawn.m.schmidt]

Elvis Presley was really importan in the history of music, he broke rock n' roll to the world which opended the door for everything up to today in popular music.

[@firedoc5]

Love it when there are multi-generational reactors, and how it is passing down the musical experiences. Zoe is her father's daughter, there's no denying it. LOL When she started to play air-guitar and boogie-woogie it, totally cracked me up. Keep up the good work, Shawn & Zoe.

Awesome man. Good to expose the young ones to some classics..I suggest the Beatles next for you and her.

[@bobbyj5375]

Shawn, is so cool your 13 yr old is willing to listen to Elvis, she was boppin' to it. Hope you show more from the era. ( she is very pretty) " It's now or never" is a song by him she may like( a shuffle dance version has a catchy beat)

[@Lovegun-w4s]

Elvis Co star Judy Tyler From the movie Jailhouse Rock Died shortly after completing the film. She was killed in an Automobile accident. Elvis was very hurt over the Death 😞

[@MrAlanfalk73]

Elvis did LOTS of songs that wasent cover songs, but songs written FOR him with him in mind, so he was the first to sing it. Yes he also did lots of cover songs (which in 80% of cases became the most famous versions, because he did it so good). Also Elvis often changed the song so much that it was almost a different song (music, Rythm, production) that like Marcus Greil writer from Rolling stone magazine said " could it i self be considered a form of song writing" . Try listening to the original of "long black limousine" and then Elvis' version to see what he meant .

[@brooos]

Great reaction! I think it's worth pointing out that Elvis was the biggest recording star ever, up until the Beatles arrived in 64. He was still a worldwide megastar for decades after. I always thought that one line in particular was pretty radical for it's time. "Number 47 said to number 3, you're the cutest jailbird I ever did see."

[@rosedavis8267]

I am glad you introduce her to Elvis Presley's song. Have her listen to his Gospel song. I see a lot of young people now a days listening to Elvis songs. 😅

[@ClubOohLaLa-fq3sb]

OMG. She's adorable. You must be so proud of her.

[@carnivoroussoupspoon]

Something I feel is always missed is that before Elvis, performers didnt move and dance around. They stood still, played their music and that was it. Elvis came along and was moving and gyrating to the music, this was completely new and young people went crazy for it

[@hmm3484]

Pretty funny that she called you a Boomer. Great, honest reaction too.
