HOUND DOG
Here is classic Blues turned into Teeny Bopper R&R by Elvis.
Give a listen to each, starting with 1952 by Big Mama Thornton. The next one is by Big Mama in 1961. Check out the 2-tone Strat and that classic hauntingly smooth sound. Lastly is Elvis's version...the $$$ maker. Scotty Moore is on Guitar - "the guitar that changed the world" some think. I think the Blues artists changed the world through Elvis. What do you think?

Hound Dog by Elvis
You ain't nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
You ain't nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
Well, you aint never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.

Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
You ain't nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.

You Ain't Nothing but a Hound Dog
by Big Mama Thornton
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
You told me you was high class
I could see through that
You told me you was high class
I could see through that
And baby I know
You ain't no real cool cat
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
'Cause I'm looking for a woman
All your lookin' for is a home
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Been snoopin' round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
