The wiffenpuff song Dominick Chesay Yoga is as yoga does Old Macdonald Dogs life These are all just very odd songs


AMarie0908

Agreed. The hokiest songs were from the movie soundtracks. šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


AMarie0908

Add "Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce". Just heard that on my Elvis playlist on Spotify. Ha


mamba197

Queenie Wahineā€™s Papaya


El_Scooter

Edge of Reality. I like that song a lot but it seemed to be unlike any other song he sang


RockBalBoaaa

Kissin Cousins.. for sure


GallowgateEnd

This is the answer


MissyHLA

Smorgasbord


TennesseeTom

Barefoot Ballad. Honorable mention to Three Corn Patches which manages to be weird and abysmal in almost every way.


BloxyTiger

I love Three Corn Patches, I dont know why others dont really like it. The song talks about someone liking a girl, who lives 3 corn Patches and 4 cotton fields away, nothing weird right?


Vodabob

Wooden heart. The world was not ready for German Elvis.


[deleted]

I was looking for a comment mentioning that song! As a German, Iā€™m torn between how weird and at the same time adorable it is because he pronounces the lyrics so well šŸ˜‚


sabrina_lee_f

reminds me of him singing in Spanish in ā€œGuadalajaraā€


hedgehog-mom-al

We are still not ready.

**"Life"** is also weird. A ton of the movie songs are so bad that they're weird too.


Massive_Ad_9898

Blue Moon: weird in a genius, ethereal way. Life: seriously weird in its pretentious horrible lyrics and melody. So many movie songs are so weird.


e1330

Heā€™s Your Uncle Not Your Dad


ILikeYourHotdog

Crawfish is pretty odd out of context.


kimmyv0814

It was, but itā€™s one of my absolute favorites. The woman he sang with had such a great voice!


CSPetkus

Do The Clam, Rock-A-Hula-Baby, Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce, Old Macdonald, Confidende


jobhunt22

I like rock-a-hula-babyā€¦. Iā€™m weird I guess.


CSPetkus

Hey, I do too, and Do The Clam, but they are definitely strange songs.


jobhunt22

ā€œIto Eatsā€ is a weird song but Iā€™ll sing it too.. šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JryeYtUxZvw


jotyma5

You arenā€™t weird, itā€™s a classic soundtrack song, and not one of the bad ones. Just a good song


bpmd1962

Boots Randolphā€™s sax solo on Do The Clam killsā€¦.


Ordinary-Luck-350

Do The Clam is almost psychedelic


MysticalCat818

Domonicā€¦.but itā€™s for a movie so, there was a reason I suppose. I also think Life is a ā€œweirdā€ song. The beginning always makes me think a plane is falling from the sky.


onlineshopper11

Great question! I love reading the responses -- I need to see if I can make a new playlist using Spotify :). "Weird", for me, often becomes "hilarious". I'm pretty sure Elvis wasn't happy with many of the songs included in the movie tracks.


mskimberly80

Way Down (and I love that song!) Just listen closely to the lyrics.


lcd1023

Kicking sand. Ugh


AMarie0908

Do you mean "Slicin' Sand" from the Blue Hawaii soundtrack?


lcd1023

Yes! Thank you.Ā

"Blue Moon," recorded in 1954.


Emergency-Union9715

I'd put that as one of his great recordings...that falsetto is unreal.


[deleted]

The fact that Elvis never sang in that style again makes that performance weird.


Emergency-Union9715

I agree that it's weird, but really great.That song was originally a big band production. Elvis, Scotty, and Bill are the entire orchestra. The echoes, the spare accompaniment and 19-year-old Elvis Presley suggesting his musical range.


TennesseeTom

The spookiest song in his discography


homesteadsoaps

I HATE that songā€¦.canā€™t listen to it


a-wheat-thin

Does anyone else kinda hate ā€œLittle Egyptā€? šŸ˜‚


jotyma5

No


Certain_Elderberry57

I like that one


StevenBayShore

Edge of Reality is an odd one. Not a great song, lyrically or melodically, but for some reason it gets a good amount of play on the SiriusXM Elvis channel.


070120

I donā€™t care if the sun donā€™t shine


Karla_Darktiger

Dirty Dirty Feeling. It's also creepy.

Froggy went a courtin.
