Elvis ~ G.I.Blues

March 9, 2010 - 6:08 pm 8 Comments

Elvis in the movie G.I.Blues from 1960 with Co-Star Juliet Prowse…

Here are the words to the song:

They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
They give us a room
with a view of the beautiful Rhine
Gimme a muddy old creek
in Texas any old time

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse

We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
We get hasenpfeffer
and black pumpernickel for chow
I’d blow my next month’s pay
for a slice of Texas cow

We’d like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
We’d like to be heroes,
but all we do here is march
And they don’t give the Purple Heart
for a fallen arch

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse

The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can’t make a pass
The frauleins are pretty as flowers
But we can’t make a pass
Cause they’re all wearin’ signs saying:
“Keepen sie off the grass”

I’ve got those hup, two, three, four
occupation G.I. Blues
From my G.I. hair to the heels of my G.I. shoes
And if I don’t go stateside soon
I’m gonna blow my fuse

Elvis Presley # THE MOVIE G.I. Blues # part 10 of 10

March 6, 2010 - 7:28 pm 4 Comments

G.I. Blues is a 1960 Elvis Presley musical motion picture played as a romantic comedy. It was filmed while Presley was fulfilling his military service obligation with the United States Army in West Germany during the height of the Cold War. It was filmed at Paramount’s Hollywood studios and on location in Germany.
U.S. Army Specialist 5 (SP5) Tulsa McLean (Elvis Presley) is a tank crewman with a singing career. Serving with the 3rd Armored “Spearhead” Division in West Germany, McLean dreams of running his own nightclub when he leaves the army, but such dreams don’t come cheap. Tulsa places a bet on his friend Dynamite (Edward Stroll), that he can spend the night with a club dancer named Lili (Juliet Prowse), who is rumored to be hard to get. She turned down one other G.I. operator, Turk (Jeremy Slate). Dynamite and Turk have vied for women before when the two were stationed in Hawaii. When Dynamite gets transferred to Alaska, Tulsa is brought in to take his place. He is not looking forward to it, but in order to keep his money, he must go through with it. McLean uses his Southern charm and calls Lili, “Ma’am.” She at first sees Tulsa as another Occupation Duty GI. Then after a day on the Rhine, Lili begins to fall for McLean. Tulsa’s friend Cookie falls in love, with Lili’s roommate, Tina (Letícia Román) from Italy. In the end, Rick and Marla’s baby son Tiger helps Tulsa win the bet for the outfit—and Lili’s heart.
Elvis Presley’s return to the screen after a two-year absence due to his military service saw lineups at movie theatres across North America and in Mexico City a riot broke out in a theater showing G.I. Blues that prompted the Mexican government to ban Presley’s movies.

What is your favourite anthem or Elvis song?

March 5, 2010 - 10:26 pm 5 Comments

I can’t decide which I like best between Baby Fratelli and Chelsea Dagger, and there are a few Greenday numbers, especially Jesus of Suburbia, in there too. Oh and a couple by Linkin Park. I like lots of different genres in music, but I absolutely love Elvis! My favourite by him is the wonder of you followed by love me tender. When I’m in a less serious mood I like GI blues and d’you ever have one of those days. I’m keen to hear what everybody likes, and I’m always looking for new MP3 tracks. Bring it on, pop pickers!

My favourite song by elvis is

I’m not altogether too sure of this song, I feel I can do much better thanh this, its really hard to catch the exact nuance of the original recordings in one or two takes, but what the hell, no ones perfect, at least not me. G.I. Blues. Take care all.
