More about this title

Why we love this

Mac Huff's arrangement captures everything that made the original irresistible while giving it fresh energy through that Duane Eddy guitar sound. The combo voicing strips away excess and keeps the focus on infectious rhythm and attitude, which means your singers can actually move and breathe rather than holding notes. For a pop unit that demands choreography, this one practically directs itself.

What to expect

Swagger and motion. The twangy guitar and driving beat create an irresistible forward momentum that begs for movement, while the Elvis connection brings a spark of fun and recognition. It's buoyant, modern, and unapologetically entertainment.

Who it's for

Directors building pop or rock concert programming, or those seeking contemporary material that audiences actually know and connect with instantly. Works equally well in show choirs, jazz ensembles, or general choruses looking for something high-energy and achievable.

How to get the most out of it

  • Let the guitar intro establish the groove before the vocals enter; your singers should lock into that backbeat, not push ahead of it.
  • Keep the energy front and center in the face and attitude of your performers. This isn't a song to sing prettily; it's a song to own.
  • Balance the choral parts so the melody cuts through clearly while the rhythmic underpinning from the backbeat stays tight and cohesive.
  • Work with your accompanist or click track to nail the groove consistently across rehearsals. The modern remix thrives on precision.

How to use it

Pair this with other pop standards or contemporary hits to build a full rock/pop set, or use it as a concert closer when you want the audience on their feet. At just over three minutes, it's the perfect anchor for a choreography unit or a show choir opener that sets the tone immediately.

Skills your students will build

  • Locking into a steady backbeat while maintaining vocal clarity
  • Performing with attitude and theatrical commitment
  • Coordinating choreography with harmonic and rhythmic changes
  • Balance and blend in small combo voicings
  • Sight-reading modern pop chord structures and rhythmic notation
