"I Got Stung" is a ninety-mile-an-hour whirlwind of confusion! Much like a Little Richard hit, once in awhile amid the unintelligible lyrics you can glimpse Elvis poking his head up to deliver a line that you can make out clearly. The rest of the time, it's just a blur. But what a really cool one! More to come later, meanwhile, check out the music and links! |
Other Spins(What did the critics and fans say?)Another classic cut is "I Got Stung": the vitality is remarkable, with the song driving along in top gear. Even Presley gets a little lost in the general melee, but when he surfaces the magic is blazing through, as he kicks the rhythm along. Robert Matthew-Walker, Elvis Presley: A Study in Music, 1979 Unrelenting rhythm makes this a foot tapper, though not one of the more thrilling movers from the early RCA days.

Holy smoke, a land sakes alive! I never thought this could happen to me Mm, yeah! Mm, yeah! I got stung by a sweet honey bee Oh, what a feeling come over me It started in my eyes, crept up to my head Flew to my heart, 'til I was stung dead I'm done, uh-uh, I got stung! Mm, yeah! Mm, yeah! She had all that I wanted and more And I've seen honey bees before Started buzzin' in my ear, buzzin' in my brain Got stung all over but I feel no pain I'm done, uh-uh, I got stung! Now, don't think I'm complainin' I'm mighty pleased we met 'Cause you gimme just one little peck on the back of my neck And I break out in a cold cold sweat If I live to a hundred and two I won't let nobody sting me but you I'll be buzzin' 'round your hive every day at five And I'm never gonna leave once I arrive 'Cause I'm done, uh-uh, I got stung! |
