🎵 [SONG INFO]
"All Shook Up" is a song recorded by Elvis Presley, published by Elvis Presley Music, and composed by Otis Blackwell.
The single topped the U.S. Billboard Top 100 on April 13, 1957, staying there for eight weeks.
It also topped the Billboard R&B chart for four weeks, becoming Presley's second single to do so, and peaked at No. 1 on the country chart as well.
It is certified 2× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
It was ranked No.352 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
History
Blackwell wrote the song at the offices of Shalimar Music in 1956 after Al Stanton, one of Shalimar's owners, shaking a bottle of Pepsi at the time, suggested he write a song based on the phrase "all shook up."
According to Peter Guralnick, the song has a different origin. In his book Last Train to Memphis, he wrote that Elvis thought "All Shook Up" was a good phrase for a refrain. For this he received a co-writing credit.
Elvis himself, during an interview on October 28, 1957, said: "I've never even had an idea for a song. Just once, maybe. I went to bed one night, had quite a dream, and woke up all shook up. I phoned a pal and told him about it. By morning, he had a new song, 'All Shook Up'."
Future Last House on the Left actor David Hess, using the stage name David Hill, was the first to record the song on Aladdin Records, titled "I'm All Shook Up". In a 2009 interview, Hess revealed the origins of the song, and claimed to come up with the title of the song: "As far as ‘All Shook Up’, the title came from a real set of circumstances and when I decided not to write it, Otis Blackwell did and I had the first recording for Aladdin Records. It was my title, but Otis wrote the song and Presley took a writing credit in order to get him to record it. That's the way things happened in those days."
Vicki Young recorded a different song with the same title, "(I'm) All Shook Up", on Capitol Records with Big Dave and His Orchestra, written by Bill Bellman and Hal Blaine in 1956.
On January 12, 1957, Presley recorded the song at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. The duet vocal on the record is by The Jordanaires first tenor Gordon Stoker. Take 10 was selected for release, and in March the song entered Billboard's Top 100 chart at No.25. Within three weeks it had knocked Perry Como's "Round and Round" off the top spot, and stayed there for eight consecutive weeks. The song also became Presley's first No. 1 hit on the UK Singles Chart, remaining there for seven weeks. Sales of the single exceeded two million, and the song was named Billboard's Year End number one song for 1957.
Other versions
In 1991, Billy Joel recorded the song for the movie Honeymoon in Vegas.
Suzi Quatro.
Derivatives and parodies
Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey included a strongly derivative piece, "All Choked Up", as part of the original version of the musical Grease. The song was included in the Broadway version; in 1978, when the musical was adapted as a feature film of the same name, "All Choked Up" was not included, and a new song, "You're the One That I Want" (which bore no musical resemblance to "All Shook Up"), was used instead and went on to become a major hit.
Filipino comedians Joey de Leon and Vic Sotto parodied Elvis Presley's “All Shook Up”. A full version of the theme song was released as a single by Tito, Vic & Joey in 1979 and featured in the trio's Sgt. Pepe (Tito, Vic & Joey, Vol. IV) album.
