even though I know you're lyin'

On You Tube, when you type in

Elvis Presley, Too Much

two different songs come up --

"Too Much"

and

"Too Much Monkey Business."


     Today's song is the one with the two-word title:

"Too Much."


     The picture on the video is the same as that one for "Hound Dog" -- 

     After beginning with a "clunk, clunk, thunk, thunk" thing happening, the song deftly two-steps into its groove:  a beguiling, compelling, slidey backbeat is lobbying the listener....


     A guitar solo which boldly steps in to have its say after the first verse or two was, to me, almost like an "interruption" -- even though I love this song... You Tube Commenter Dean Bibb had a different take on it:

"Scotty Moore singlehandedly invented hard rock / heavy metal guitar work right here with this song!"

     I'll go with that.

And now, vanquish all bad news and negativity by tapping,

PLAY.
