Description
From the rock & roll vaults here in Austin, TX: Another amazingly clean looking and playing record. VG++ With push marks as can be clearly seen in the photos. This is original, not a repro. Thanks for looking and happy bidding!
"Baby, Let's Play House", is a song written by Arthur Gunter and recorded by him in 1954 on the Excello Records label,[1] and covered by Elvis Presley the following year onSun Records.[2] It was the fourth issue of a Presley record by Sun,[3] and became the first song recorded by Elvis to appear on a national chart, when it made #5 on the Billboard Country Singles chart in July 1955.[4]
Presley's version differs greatly from the original: Elvis started the song with the chorus, where Gunter began with the first verse, and he replaced Gunter's line "You may getreligion" with the words "You may have a Pink Cadillac", referring to his custom-painted 1955 Cadillac auto that had been serving as the band's transportation at the time.
The song was lip synched by Jonathan Rhys Meyers in the TV biopic Elvis: The Early Years, in a scene of Presley's 1955 Odessa Auditorium performance.
John Lennon used the line, "I'd rather see you dead, little girl, than to be with another man," from this song for the opening line of the Beatles song, "Run for Your Life."
