How Good Is Your Old Song Memory? - OT

[Norm's Coupe]

OK, here's one for you guys that are into songs of yesteryear. I use to sing this song to keep me awake driving between Chicago an Louisville in the middle of the night back about 1964 & 1965. It was recorded by Elvis. My wife doesn't remember this song and even my first wife thought I made it up back in 1964. But...........this was on the flip side of one of Elvis Presley's all time hits. Problem is I don't know which hit. We had the 45 record in the late 50's and it disappeared somehow. I've even checked with record shops and they don't know either. So.........put your thinking caps on. I'd really like to have this record for old times sake. Thanks. (If the picture is too small to read, hold you mouse over it and click, it will get bigger that way.)

I'm pretty sure it was on the Elvis Presley....Plus album as a bonus track. Correct me if I'm wrong

I can't correct you if you were wrong. That's the problem. We had it on a 45 RPM in the late 50's.

Is that the name of the album you think it's on "Elvis Presley Plus"?

[Norm's Coupe]

Hounddog,

Thanks. Guess you are living up to the handle. Just ran a search for that album and found it. The song is there like you said. http://www.grooves-inc.com/presley-elvis-elvis-presley-plus-universe-cd-album-p-1173035.html?language=en&currency=USD

Yea my grandpa was a huge elvis fan and we would go over there all the time and I know I listened to that song on the "Elvis Presley...Plus" album im 99.9 percent certain. Im not sure if they released it on other albums but I know it was on that one.

-"I ain't nothing but a hounddog" thats where I got my nickname.

Doing a search on iTunes for "We're gonna move" turns up that song. Most of the recordings on the search are by Elvis Presley but there are a couple of other artists that whose recordings are available for it too. The first Elvis recording on the list for it shows the album as "The King of Rock 'N' Roll - The Complete 50's Masters (box set)" but it is also from other albums like "Elvis Presley Portrait" and "Don't Be Cruel".

[Norm's Coupe]

Well, thanks to Hounddog and also Ed and Tod I should be able to order it locally. Don't like doing things online if I don't have to. Nice to know it's also on CD now. Otherwise I would have had to burn one off the record.

I remember this one by Rosemary Clooney ( for the young ones here that would be George Clooney's Mom) and I thing Tenesee Ernie Ford and the Statler borhters has a version also:

This ole house once knew his children

This ole house once knew his wife

This ole house was home and comfort

As they fought the storms of life

This old house once rang with laughter

This old house heard many shouts

Now he trembles in the darkness

When the lightnin' walks about

CHORUS:

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer

Ain't a-gonna need this house no more

Ain't got time to fix the shingles

Ain't got time to fix the floor

Ain't got time to oil the hinges

Nor to mend the windowpane

Ain't a-gonna need this house no longer

He's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

This ole house is a-gettin' shaky

This ole house is a-gettin' old

This ole house lets in the rain

This ole house lets in the cold

On his knees I'm gettin' chilly

But he feel no fear nor pain

'Cause he see an angel peekin'

Through a broken windowpane

CHORUS

This ole house is afraid of thunder

This ole house is afraid of storms

This ole house just groans and trembles

When the night wind flings its arms

This ole house is gettin' feeble

This old house is needin' paint

Just like him it's tuckered out

But he's a-gettin' ready to meet the saints

CHORUS

This ole house dog lies a-sleepin'

He don't know I'm gonna leave

Else he'd wake up by the fireplace

And he'd sit there and howl and grieve

But my huntin' days are over

Ain't gonna hunt the coon no more

Gabriel done brought in my chariot

When the wind blew down the door

Rosemary Clooney is George Clooney's aunt.

true story..elvis.

in 1953-4? i was delivering a ford tudor, a green one to elkins w.va. and at 11 pm at night i crashed it down an embankment,(poor headlights)! and i walked a mile to a country bar in W.Va. scared stiff in hillbilly country!, the bartender made the necessary calls for help and set me up with free juke box music til. help arrived...i kept playing j-7 and h-7 over and over...finally i called the bartender and asked what was that strange music?...he didnt know, they just brought new records in last week (wurlitzer)..he opened up the juke box and read the titles....ball point pen on masking tape said 'heartbreak hotel' e. presley, and the other side said 'hound dog e. presley. .....no label!!!
