Of course I'm still in the midst of my own Elvis week. Last night we watched Girl Happy, which is an enjoyable yet ridulously silly film from 1965. It's on of his "beach films" and it takes place in Ft. Lauderdale during spring break (sort of... you can tell nothing was really on location). The dance numbers are quite comical and there are really only a couple of memorable songs... the title track, "The Meanest Girl In Town" (also done by Bill Haley & His Comets called "She's Evil") and "You'll Be Gone". Unfortunately there's also some real forgetable stuff here as well, like "Do The Clam" (seriously), "Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce" and "Wolf Call". And I hate to spoil the ending for you, but after a big misunderstanding... Elvis gets the girl! Who knew! But hey, at least watch it so you too can learn how to do the clam. All the kids are doing it.
So to keep the week going, how about you just enjoy Elvis Presley performing "Steamroller Blues" from his legendary Aloha from Hawaii concert. For more Elvis videos visit Elvis.com.
