It’s crazy to think this was considered to be super “edgy” back in the day. The concept of convicts being the main focus/protagonists and Elvis’s dancing moves were met with controversy. But it didn’t matter, because just like the rest of his music, Jailhouse Rock was a big success, and it overshadowed all of the controversy. In fact, this song stayed at number 1 on the US Billboard for seven straight weeks!
@itzkeon6456 it was because of Elvis there so many black musicians today rather they know it or not before Elvis Black Musicians record sales was horrible once Elvis recorded Hound Dog oringinally by Big Momma Thorton (who was black) amongst other songs not only his sales improved but Black musicians at that time their sales sky rocketed as was as there demand people wanted to see because Elvis Indroduce many people to black musicians. How dare you try to get on here and defile the man legacy by accuse him of being racist.
My mum was telling me about when she was a kid in the 1950s. My Gran took her to see the first Elvis film in Leeds… mum's words were (in Yorkshire accent) “I went into that cinema a little girl……I came out a woman…..and your Grandmother was never the same again either!”
Americans think they invented everything when they just copy stuff all the time and then say that about the Chinese. It's a bit like sponsoring regimes that torture their own people and then trying to say that Russia is bad.
Best singer/entertainer I have ever seen, better looking in person, hard to believe but so true, front row, center stage, Las Vegas first two wks he was there 1969. Kissed by the King himself, a moment I will never forget. ♥
Man, Elvis was working it! Nobody on earth could have done that the way he did, and looked so cool doing it.... He had it all. Never will there be another like him. Not a chance.....
Elvis - greatest entertainer in the History Of Man -- 39 years after his passing, hundreds of fan clubs exist the world over. His museum home is a Mecca for fans from everywhere. A thousand Elvis Tribute Artists in a hundred countries sing his music. His estate earns 50 million dollars a year. NEW FANS ARE CREATED when they discover him on RUclips and other similar sites. Known the world over by only his first name. Twentieth Century ICON -- Elvis The Great. Saw him in Vegas 1969, front row, center stage, there are no words to describe him except to say he was the greatest singer/entertainer I've ever seen.....and more :)
I remember my mom playing this for me on her old record player when I was a child. I wouldn't love music so much if it wasn't for having been introduced to Elvis at such a young age!
This is one tune that no one else could sing like Elvis. Listen close, for no other singer could match Elvis on this particular song. One of the last Raw Elvis tunes!
I'm laughing my f a off. He's just so cool. Those moves back in 1957 were like far out. Love the cool walk and the hip swivel action. Elvis was the coolest dude. I think he actually invented COOL.
Elvis didn't invent ish. I like Presley, but those dance moves and his singing style can all be attributed to a Black man named Otis Blackwell. If you don't believe me, please look him up. Also, Blacks invented rock & roll, and if you up Black artists like Momma Thornton, Lil Richard, and Chuck Berry they were way more talented.
ELVIS was unique in his look and music he changed the music in the 50s to his own style and made it dancy and soulful with perfect rythm of dance, just genius and only one of the kind. algeriafunk
Our "kid" Elvis! Greater dancer and entertainer!Absolutely the "father" of the "moonwalker step" (please see 1:20 m - 1:30 m .Nice day folks!Let´s rock!!!
I love love love this! Unique in every way! Nobody else was doing this, could do this. And singing, voice? Beyond beautiful! You're the true King of rock-and-roll and always have my heart! I miss you ...A quality person!
Heard this song when my BFF & I went to the Lafayette Theater in Suffern, NY as young teenagers to see this movie....really enjoyed...so young that had to my Mom to come pick us up...had a stayover at my home...great memories of those days in Mahwah, NJ..
I only knew a few songs by him but I watched that Elvis movie 2022 and I'm obsessed with Elvis now. I'm watching his movies and still listening to all of his songs. He always will be the king of Rock and roll, always handsome no matter what he did. Rip our Elvis Presley ❤❤

For anyone doubting why Elvis is called and is THE KING.....well here's the PROOF!!!! Very awesome. He is one of the most greatest entertainers that ever lived - or will live!
yeah I do feel like this inspired michael jackson. But michael jackson took it to a less awkward level. But that is just how it works. He is still the "first". and that he inspired others is a major and "Better" achievement, right?
This was done years before I was born. As of this posting, I am 49 years old. This is real Rock. Elvis must had scared the parents of the teens to death! I was raised on early Elvis music.
He was a totally cute guy. I remember when the 50's rock and roll meant cute Elvis presly singing with a funny voice. Forget black and white and all that for one sec. Elvis. Made the denim jacket a must-have for every kid. :)
OK, I never thumbed up for any backstreet boys video or sth like that just because they are old or classic, but this! this!!!! if you still listenning to it at 2011... and it's getting real close to 2012.. WE REALLY NEED THUMBS UP!!!
*Elvis Presley Always Forever siempre! August 16, 2020* Let's Rock everybody, let's Rock Everybody in the whole cell block Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock Number forty-seven said to number three *"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see* *I sure would be delighted with your company* *Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me" -Yeah!! -* *Let's Rock…*
I love elvis presley because I listened to him with my dad.
1950’s Elvis Presley has to be one of the most attractive people in history, I swear!
Elvis even made climbing a spiral staircase look cool! Unbelievable, he was just born this way.

bit pole dancing too 🙂
I have a lot more respect for Elvis after seeing his biopic. This has been and always will be my favorite song. RIP Elvis. rock On.
He was also racist if you didn’t know

The worlds first music video!

No the Beatles did. This was a movie scene

It's currently 2022 And i would absolutely love to say that this song still rocks. It's a vibe and this is coming from a 16 y/o human.
2024❤, and yep it STILL Does!🎶🎵✌️
I'm 16 and hopelessly attracted to this man.

although Ben Portsmouth is extremely close
You said it like it is. I totally agree with your comment.
Tony S Michael Jackson
Samuel Turner
Didn't you notice where Jackson got it from..?
I read somewhere Elvis said this was his favorite dance scene from all the movie he did. I can see why, he was fantastic
Yep
True
It's my first time listening to Elvis Presley, but Jailhouse Rock rocked my world.
Are you serious? How old are you?
There is something about the beauty and the dance and work into the old chorus lines … fantastic !
I remember my mom playing this for me on her old record player when I was a child. I wouldn't love music so much if it wasn't for having been introduced to Elvis at such a young age!

Thanks the color was beautiful and of course that guy singing was very nice looking and boy could he move Miss you Elvis

LYRICS:
The warden threw a party in the county jail
The prison band was there and they began to wail
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing
You should've heard them knocked-out jailbirds sing
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Number forty-seven said to number three
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see, I sure would be delighted with your company, Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me"
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Sad sack was sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone
The warden said, "hey, buddy, don't you be no square, if you can't find a partner, use a wooden chair"
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake, no one's lookin' now's our chance to make a break"
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix, Nix, I want to stick around a while and get my kicks"
Let's rock, everybody let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

King Elvis entered legend with this song
He’s the king of being a culture vulture
I have loved Elvis since I was a child and I still love Elvis!
For anyone doubting why Elvis is called and is THE KING.....well here's the PROOF!!!! Very awesome. He is one of the most greatest entertainers that ever lived - or will live!
History in the making. This is considered as the first Music video !!! Hail to the King
This song is amazing but what makes it more awesome is the people in background that just go with and have a ball being in the song
The 1st music video... 25 years before MTV!
My fav Elvis song right here..
What a dancer he had rubber legs and they were so long he is was so tall. He made everything seem so nice and bouncy.
ELVIS MULTI TALENTED GENIUS
"Rock & Roll helps Our Hearts Beat together!"!! !
This is my first time seeing the music video and why I love the 60's - Elvis really was the king!!
This was the 50's you fucking idiot. 1957 to be exact. And you call yourself a fan? GTFOH!
this was 1957
There...will ..never . be. another ...Elvis. We. .lost. a. great. person. and. talent. .Long. Live . The. Kings. Legend .And ..Music
He's a Legend!! No doubt on that
Oh my goodness 😳😍😭 still get this beating ol heart flutter 60 yrs later 💯❤🎶💯❤
the greatest musical/dance sequence ever by the greatest man to ever walk the planet
+jason mazari Hey Jason, maybe you're exaggerating on both counts.... just a little ?
This the most refreshing thing to read. I agree with you son. Music will never be the same again. Good on you for being honest.
Before Michael Jackson, he was already there, with these moves.
jackson started at a young age.but,if your"e talking about white michael jackson,then yeah you are right
yeah I do feel like this inspired michael jackson. But michael jackson took it to a less awkward level. But that is just how it works. He is still the "first". and that he inspired others is a major and "Better" achievement, right?
First time I've seen him and I agree.
tk tojin True but Michael took it to an entirely new level!
Elvis rocks i'm 33 yrs old and sorry if my generation can't love good old music.

People who disliked this video don't know real music 😡
People who think that everyone has to have the same taste in music in order to 'know real music' don't know anything about real music.
it doesn't show the dislikes girlie calm down now 💅
People have diffrent taste of music
This is real music
Times have changed … although I agree that the dislikers have no taste in music cause Elvis was pure genius
Bravo excellent vidéo de notre Elvis on adore toujours ! 💋💞 🌷♥🎸🎧🎤🎶🎵🎹
I need Elvis In my Life
I surfed this man's pictures through the internet! He was
breathtaking! ❤
"If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair." LOL
Simply one of the coolest things I've ever seen.
Move over everybody else, Elvis is King!
Wow. Elvis is/was the greatest!
