gerçekten dönemin ruhunu yansıtan bir film. Elvis Presley'in performansı zaten tartışılmaz. Özellikle o hücredeki dans sahnesi, sinema tarihinin en ikonlaşmış anlarından biri. Filmdeki hikaye, yanlışlıkla hapse düşen bir adamın yaşadığı değişimi konu alıyor ve Elvis, hem şarkıcı hem de oyuncu olarak, kendini oldukça iyi bir şekilde ifade etmiş. Bütün bunlar filmi hem müzikle hem de dramayla harmanlayarak, izleyeni etkiliyor.

kralın bu şarkısı ilk kez 2010 da çıksaydı bütün müzik listelerini alt üst ederdi. 53 yıl sonra bile akıcılığı ile sound ile hala harika bir şarkı. dans kısmı ayrıca takdire şayandır. enerjiyi çok yükselten bir şarkı.
the warden threw a party in the county jail
the prisonband was there and they began to wail
the joint was jumping and the place began to swing
you should have heard those knocked out jailbirds sing
let's rock
everybody let's rock
everybody on the whole cell block
they was dancing to the jailhouse rock
spider murphy played the tenor saxophone
little joe was blowin' on the slide trombone
the drummerboy from illinois went crash boom bang
the whole rhythm section was the purple gang
let's rock
everybody let's rock
everybody on the whole cell block
they was dancing to the jailhouse rock
well number 47 said to number 3
you're the cutest jailbird i ever did see
i sure'll be delighted with your company
come on and do the jailhouse rock with me
let's rock
everybody let's rock
everybody on the whole cell block
they were dancing to the jailhouse rock
let's rock!
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
let's rock
everybody let's rock
everybody on the whole cell block
they was dancing to the jailhouse rock
they were dancing to the jailhouse rock
they was dancing to the jailhouse rock
they was dancing to the jailhouse rock
they was dancing to the jailhouse rock
everybody on the whole cell block
they was dancing to the jailhouse rock
they was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to
dancing to the jailhouse rock
oh they was dancing to, dancing to, dancing to, dancing to
dancing to the jailhouse rock
everybody on the whole cell block
they was dancing to the jailhouse rock
elvis 'in insanda ne yapıyorsa bırakıp ayağa kalkıp dans etme isteği uyandıran şarkısı.

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 shouldve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.
Lets rock, everybody, lets 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.
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.
Number forty-seven said to number three:

I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the jailhouse rock with me.
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.
The sad sack was a sittin on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin all alone.

I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks.
Lets rock, everybody, lets rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin to the jailhouse rock.
