Stuck On You - Elvis Presley (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)

Stuck On You (Elvis Presley, 1960). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-03-21. "Keeping the Oldies Alive"

"Stuck On You," written by Aaron Schroeder and J. Leslie McFarland, hit the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1960 and was recorded 15 days after his discharge from the Army (Whitburn, 1994, 2013). What is interesting is that RCA decided, before any song was recorded, that whatever song Elvis recorded, it would be a million seller. They assumed that "the unnamed, unrecorded Presley single would sell about two million copies, but the company “conservatively” decided on an initial pressing of one million copies. One million copies—instant Gold Record status—a phantom record to be manufactured and distributed to a public expected to buy it no matter what it sounded like . . . it was a million-seller, a Gold Record, before anyone even knew the song’s title, much less heard it" (A. Hanson, elvis-history-blog.com, May 2009). Because the song did sell more than one million units in the USA, it was certified platinum by the RIAA in 1992 (riaa.com, 2022).

Lyrics:

You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake, sugar
But you'll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick because I'm
Stuck on you

Gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin' starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Oh yeah, Uh-uh-uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you

Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain't gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin' starts
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side
That's how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I'm
Stuck on you
I'm gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I'm
Stuck on you
I'm gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I'm
Stuck on you
