I am from Sweden. When I was young we moved to Rockford, Illinois. This was 1955. Elvis became my biggest idol. I just loved him. When I heard King Creole I got "all shook up"! I went to all his movies and I screamed so high that I could not speak for days. I am back in Sweden and I still sing this song for my friends. I love Elvis... Christina Svanberg

My husband Bruce never sings. When he was young,he was told by a school teacher that he could not sing. BUT lately when he hears Elvis he comes out of his shell and mimmicks Elvis a bit, I have caught him singing little bits. King Creole was on t.v. tonight ( Oct.14/2005 ) and he sang what he could to me.... so here I am on the computer researching the lyrics. Who knows what will happen!!!! Trish
