Here's a clip of Elvis performing "Dixieland Rock". It's from the movie "King Creole", a delicious gumbo featuring Elvis as the delinquent with great pipes, Walter Matthau as the evil club owner, and Carolyn Jones as the bad girl with a heart of gold. It's set in New Orleans. Notwithstanding Margarita Fridays, I can't think of a better way to start the weekend.

That's beautiful! He was a good lookin boy, wasn't he?
A little Edith Piaf is a very nice touch on a Friday Random Ten! Goes well with a margarita too.
What Barbara said. Love her, love the margarita, love the Friday.
Walter Matthau is an underrated thespian.
An awesome sampling, as always.
I think that King Creole is generally recognized as the best Elvis movie. I have to admit I love them all, even the ones that are considered awful. He was a natural performer.
