"The Warden through a party in the county jail."

George

So that's what the first line to the song "Jail House Rock" is hey, I thought it was somebody throwing a party, but not the warden.  Man, that Elvis could sure write some good songs couldn't he......wait.......wait......just through that in there.  Every knows, Elvis never wrote any of his own songs.  He is credited for co-writing four songs I think.

Unless Raf, you're referencing that "Jail House" Rock was a song which Elvis sharing co-writing credits, but it does not.  From what I can tell, Elvis shared credits on a few songs, "Poor Boy", and "Were Gonna Move" and "Let Me" with Vera Matson, wife of Elvis' publisher Kim Darby.  His bodyguard Red West shared a couple songs that credits Elvis for co-writing, "That's Someone You Never Forget" and "You'll Be Gone", the former a title that Elvis came up with about his mother.  And there was one other song Elvis was credited for co-writing, a song with Otis Blackwell called "Paralyzed".

Locomotion.

And it's "Warden THREW a party," not "THROUGH."

Their, their now.

Thank you.  I always appreciate any corrections in grammar.  I guess it was George's mistake and I followed after him.  Yes, Locomotion.

Isn't the title of this Ann Murray song in the lyrics you left George?   If so, try again.
