♪ Hound Dog - Elvis Presley

 

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 ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, 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 nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

[instrumental interlude]

Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

[instrumental interlude]

Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Ya know they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, 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 nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

 

 

 

어릴적에 Tv에서 앨비스프레슬리를, 주제로 한 다큐멘터리 비슷한걸 본 적이 있다

그의 일대기에 관한것이었는데, 보고난 후 여운이 오래 남았었다

아마도 그땐 락큰롤의 매력에 흠뻑 빠졌있었던 듯.

 

많은 분들께서 Hound Dog이라는 곡을 알고 계실겁니다. 거의 모든분들이 엘비스 프레슬리의 노래로 알고 계실텐데요...

원곡은 통상 Big Mama라는 애칭으로 더 많이 알려진 전설적인 블루스 싱어 Willie Mae Thornton이 불렀답니다.

 

또, 원곡의 가사 내용은 몸을 파는 여자가 기둥서방을 내쫓는 장면을 묘사했다고하는데요 엘비스가 가사 내용을 토끼

한마리도 잡지못하는 강아지는 자기 친구가 아니다라는 식으로 개사를 했다네요. 원곡의 작사자인 제리 레이버라는

사람은 한 인터뷰에서 당시를 회상하며 좀 어이없어 하더라구요. 아마도 당시엔 저작권에 대한 개념이 상당히 희박했던

것이 아닐까합니다.    그럼 들어보시죠.^^
