JAILHOUSE WALK - (Jailhouse Rock) | Freedom Toast & Cinebot Video

We’re seeing indictments and convictions like never before in our country’s history. Along with all tRump’s protestations of innocence come his continuous stream of thinly veiled threats and accusations of a weaponized Justice System. It’s a soap opera. We’ll see where it all leads.

ABOUT THE SOURCE MUSIC “Jailhouse Rock“ is a song recorded by American singer Elvis Presley for the film of the same name. It was written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. RCA Victor released the song on a 45 rpm single on September 24, 1957, as the first single from the film’s soundtrack EP. It reached the top of the charts in the U.S. and the top 10 in several other countries. The song has been recognized by the Grammy Hall of Fame, the American Film Institute, and others. Some of the characters named in the song are real people. Shifty Henry was a well-known Los Angeles musician, not a criminal. The Purple Gang was a real mob. “Sad Sack“ was a U.S. Army nickname in World War II for a loser, which was also the name of a popular comic strip and comic book character. According to Rolling Stone, Leiber and Stoller’s “theme song for Presley’s third movie was decidedly silly, the kind of tongue-in-cheek goof they had come up with for The Coasters. Presley, however, sang it as straight rock & roll, overlooking the jokes in the lyrics (like the suggestion of gay romance when inmate Number 47 tells Number 3, ’You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see’) and then introducing Scotty Moore’s guitar solo with a cry so intense that the take almost collapses.“ Gender studies scholars cite the song for “its famous reference to homoerotics behind bars,“ while music critic Garry Mulholland writes, “’Jailhouse Rock’ was always a queer lyric, in both senses.“ Douglas Brode writes of the filmed production number that it’s “amazing that the sequence passed by the censors“. Rolling Stone magazine included “Jailhouse Rock“ at number 67 on its list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and it was named one of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. In 2004, it finished at number 21 on AFI’s 100 Songs survey of top tunes in American cinema. On November 27, 2016, the Grammy Hall of Fame announced its induction, along with that of another 24 songs. In 2019, the song ranked number 31 on Spanish radio station Rock FM 500’s list of “Five Hundred Rockers of All Time“, ahead of any other song of the 1950s.
