1957 年，Elvis Presley 的 Jailhouse Rock
這其實是一部老片，幾年前我看完它，蠻好玩的。後來，寫一寫文章，查些資料，才知道這電影對後世的搖滾樂，有深遠的影響！
我看了 Special Features。裡面提到了一件好玩的事 - ”貓王舞步“ ”創作過程“。據該片的導演（或製片人？我不大記得了。但無所謂！^_^），Elvis 本身對於唱歌沒問題，但導演要他加個舞步。Elvis 很拒絕加舞步的這個 idea。該片的 ” 武 舞術指導“，就用 “將計就計”。
舞術指導說，他私下去和 Elvis 談他最 comfortable 的 “舞姿”。結果，貓王就秀他，“不雅的” 搖臀擺腿舞姿。舞術指導覺得很棒，就叫 Elvis，膝蓋再彎多一點，屁股搖大點。結果，就創出這 “舉世無雙” 的舞步。
出名電影 Forrest Gump（阿甘正傳），把這舞步說成是貓王學阿甘的。這當然是開玩笑的。
這舞步和歌，後來影響了很多 “少年雞”：
仔細看，其實後來 Michael Jackson 的舞步，多少都會有貓王的影子。
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
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
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
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
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"
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see"
"I sure would be delighted with your company"

Let's rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Everybody, let's rock
Everybody in the whole cell block

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"
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone

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 wanna stick around awhile and get my kicks"
