MY opinion on this video or clip is that It looks a lot like the sound of music or lion king when they start singing and I got to admit it was pretty good and the music was by Elvis because normally you will see ladies doing something like that but now you see men doing it is pretty awesome because thay did it better than the ladies them self.
ReplyDeleteI thought that Sodiq was crazy when he said it sounded like Lion King. Then when I heard the video I started laughing and I said that Sodiq was right. I think that the song was not really that good but it could get more better than worse. I think this song makes me feel very jumpy some how I do not know. This is pretty cool its not that bad that I have to cover my ears so yup i give it a 8.
ReplyDeletewow he is a an ok singer but he has some slick moves those are cool i guess. I think i heard this song before in a dream. He did like the shim sham shimmy never seen it done before buy a guy.heh well it makes me feel normal. cause its not irritating. And the song I heard it from was lilo and stitch .
ReplyDeleteI think the video is awesome. Anything Elvis ever did was awesome. The guy can sing dance and do everything he is like a god of some sort. The song is one of those awesome classical rock songs that you never forget. Elvis is one of the artist I look forward to learning about the guy is a marvel. This song is one of those that only really sounds good when the pro does it.
ReplyDeleteIn this video, I first didn't get why they all wore black and white striped shirts. However, after I remembered what this song's title was, then I knew why they wore those kinds of shirts. The song's title was jailhouse rock. People in jail wore black and white sometimes. Too bad now a days, they wear yellow or orange. White and black is better in my opinion. It was also really funny how it said color in the title. This video was so old, color in movies was new. I can't imagine living in a time like that.
ReplyDeleteThis song is the best in the world. It is up beat and awesome Elvis had the best music in the world and know I now why they called him the king of rock because he could rock. He also made it in to a mini movie like Michael Jackson and that is pretty cool. Jailhouse rock is a song that u will never sleep in because it is so loud and big.
ReplyDeleteI liked it. The video was definitely awesome and very unique and the song was good too. I love how they had a group of people from jail just get out and just start dancing like crazy with no worries. I would like to learn a little bit more about Elvis Presley too. I think his style of music has a pretty catchy beat and would be a song that is fun to dance to.

Well i like his song it is really good. Elvis preslie is like really good i love all his songs. He was like the was so awesome in all his songs he did. He was like the king of rock and was really good at being the king of rock. Well i loved his moves i remember when i was a kid i use to liszten to this song because my uncle would be playing it from his computer. I loved his song.
i thought that this clip was good but i did not remind me of the lion king.i liked how it started with all the guys in the jail cells. i thought this video was cheesy and funny but mostly cheesy. But I like cheesy stuff so I liked it a lot.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the video that i was watching was pretty cool. I like the music video, Elvis was like sliding down a pole which i thought was awesome to me. And the other dancers were really good too. My favorite part of the music video is when all the dancers were getting out of there door. But I really enjoyed the song and I am willing to hear another of Elvis's song.
