Lyricist: Elvis Presley
Lyrics:
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
Review:
In 1987, RCA released a one-disc Elvis compilation
called The Number One Hits that featured 18
tracks. So how did the label come up with 12
additional number ones (13 if you count the
sensational "A Little Less Conversation" remix
that brings the King into the 21st century as a
bona fide dance/electronica star)? Well, the '87
compilation featured only Billboard number ones.
"In the Ghetto" and "Burning Love" never reached
the top there, nor did "Way Down," despite every
copy of that 45 selling out on both sides of the
Atlantic following Presley's 1977 death. Instead,
the new compilers have used the major pop charts
in both the U.S. (including Cashbox) and U.K. to
determine inclusions. The tracks have all been
remixed from original masters, which proves
awesome at best (some of the songs have never
sounded crisper if, at times, slightly antiseptic)
and problematic at worst. Purists will definitely
quibble. "A Fool Such As I," for instance, sounds
like Elvis rerecorded his vocals. Hank Garland's
great guitar solo also sounds different. It might
be an alternate take. That's definitely the case
with "The Wonder of You." A few lyrics are even
different, meaning this isn't the same version as
the original 45. Of course, none of that should
matter to the youngsters who've been singing along
to "Hound Dog" on the Lilo & Stitch soundtrack, or
to any other newcomers. Despite the complaints,
this is arguably the best single disc Elvis primer
to date. Real fans will want to explore much
deeper for treasures to be found, but albums like
this guarantee that this is one king who will
deservedly live very long, if not forever. --Bill
