Jailhouse Rock

(Leiber
/ Stoller)
Informação:
Jerry Leiber e Mike Stoller escreveram Jailhouse Rock para o
grande número de produção do filme de Elvis de 1957 com o mesmo título.
Dudley Brooks tocou piano na gravação, que foi feita em 30 de abril de 1957,
no Radio Recorders. No entanto, Mike Stoller, afirma que tocou piano na
canção. Na realidade, ele apareceu no filme enquanto pianista de Vince
Everett (Elvis). Jailhouse Rock entrou no Top 100 da Billboard para a
15ª posição. Três semanas depois era número um, substituindo a canção Wake
Up Little Susie, dos Everly Brothers. Depois de sete semanas na primeira
posição, Jailhouse Rock foi substituída pela canção You Send Me, de Sam
Cooke. A gravação de Elvis passou um total de 27 semanas na tabela. O disco
também foi número um na tabela Country Best-Seller (durante uma semana) e na
tabela de rhythm & blues (durante cinco semanas). Na Inglaterra, Jailhouse
Rock entrou para a tabela logo para a primeira posição – o primeiro
single na história das tabelas britânicas a conseguir fazê-lo. No mundo
inteiro, o disco vendeu vários milhões de exemplares. O take 6 foi o
escolhido para lançar em disco.
Elvis cantou Jailhouse Rock em dois dos seus especiais televisivos, Elvis
e Elvis in Concert.
Letra:
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds
sing
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom,
bang
the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company,
come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
The Sad Sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no
square,
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a
break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix, nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."
Let's rock, everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin' to the Jailhouse
Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse
Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse
Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse
Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse
Rock...
