Worst Elvis song of the 1950s?
I'm well aware that Elvis recorded a bumper crop of garbage music in the '60s and '70s, but for this discussion let's stick to the man's "golden" period, the 1950s.

For my money, his worst recording of that era was "My Wish Came True." What say you, folks?

1. I really only know his hits, but I'll say that his version of
"Let's Have a Party" is incredibly lacklustre when you know the Wanda Jackson (aka the Female Elvis) version.

2. "Itsy bitsy, teenie, weenie polka dot bikini" A crime against nature.

5. You're too kind. I need to stop resopnding to posts when I'm hallucinating
Hmm...are there any bad Elvis songs in the 50'. The 60's and later, yes. Maybe in one of those beach movies, let me check...be right back...OK, this was a trick question...there were no bad Elvis songs in the 1950's. All those beach movies and such came later.

What's the door prize on my way out?

4. I was going to say something off the King Creole soundtrack...
...but then I decided that one RAWWWKS too...

...this is obviously a trick question...

...I dunno- "Wish" is good- perhaps the background vocals are too dated...

6. There was one song with a background vocal
That went something like: Bup buyup bub buyup. I can't recall the name of the song but I remember not caring for it.
