You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

Hound Dog
Artist: Elvis Presley
Album: Elvis' Golden Records
Song Length: 2:15
George's Thoughts: The Elvis version of this song on the popular new "30 #1 Hits" album is slightly too fast for competition, which is a shame because it's such an awesome remastering job. The best-paced Elvis version is on "Elvis '56" with a perfect 44.0bpm but it doesn't have the same audio fidelity of course, even though it's been remastered. This version on the "Golden Records" album sounds great and it's just a hair over 44bpm. There are other non-Elvis versions around which are slower, like Scott Henderson's 41bpm track on the album "Dog Party."
