Elvis hizo famoso por siempre jamás el tema Hound dog como canción de rock tras su estreno en el 56; claro que ni el tema era un rock, tampoco original de Elvis, ni se estrenaba en ese año. Se trata de un tema de rythm&blues compuesto por Jerry Leiber y Mikei Stoller y publicado en 1952.
En cualquier caso fue la versión de Elvis la que conquistó a propios y extraños y llevó al tema no sólo a las listas de éxito del momento sino a las de las mejores canciones de todos los tiempos llegando a formar parte además de la banda sonora de diferentes películas (Grease, Forrest Gump, Indiana Jones...)
Y es que, incluso cuando apenas superaba los 20 años, Elvis ya era el rey.
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
Well they said you was high-classed
well, that was just a lie
yeah they said you was high-classed
well, that was just a lie

and you ain't no friend of mine
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
cryin' all the time

well, that was just a lie
well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine
Well they said you was high-classed
well, that was just a lie
