Hound Dog The Great Milton Berle Show

[dante6000ss]

The King!

[nordello65]

Awesome -- Elvis -- The King

Freddie Bell and the bellboys recorded the song in 1955. Freddie Bell and the Bellboys were the hot act in town, and Elvis went to the Sands to take in their show. Elvis not only enjoyed the show, but also loved their reworking of 'Hound Dog' and asked Freddie if he had any objections to him recording his own version. By May 16 Elvis had added Hound Dog to his live performances. Elvis added the slow dramatic ending as a kind of comic relief for fun.

This was outrageous because before Elvis everyone on TV just stood there and sang. The slowed down humping the mike section and the hand gesture to the crotch at 2: 00 is often cut out of the performance even today! Elvis's live performances would of course get much wilder, and the cops were called out a time or two such as after the infamous performance where he humped the fake RCA Victor dog they often had on stage. LOL I love this Elvis because he was wild and free!

[Disappearingboy1039]

i don't see anything wrong with the performance.I don't really see anything sexual about it. Except for the hip thrusting but that's not a big deal. But Elvis is the man

[skullerr2]

MUY VUEN VIDEO

[Dannoo007]

so... what was there so outrageous??

[TubeGunner]

I don't think there was a horn section here originally, but at least it's understated, and Elvis and the band sound great in this very upfront mix.

[ajm9469]

In my opinion this is the greatest performance ever, so raw and different. The audience didn't know how to respond, they had never seen anything like this before. This sounds like the original recording as well, with the orchestra backing.

[whitefalcon64]

Nobody could reach this, maybe Jerry Lee Lewis with "Whole lotta shaking"

[imkingmailru]

Always reminds me of Forrest Gump =)

[mamasboyl]

I don't see why it shouldn't because didn't Forrest teach him how to move like that at 1:34(LOL)?Great stuff to watch,thank you dearly for the upload!!!!

[kolgotina]

splendid!!!! SMARTLY!!!

[ThreeD2007]

I love this video because it represents the controversy of the change that Elvis brought about. And, you know the old saying is that all new things for the better are initially met with resistance...mostly out of fear of change and the unfamiliar. I am so glad Elvis had the confidence to stand his ground and continue performing the music he loved with HIS style and didn't let any narrow-minded people intimidate him.

[annibarice]

Milton Berle got his undies in a bunch ovee Elvis' hip movements, but he wore dresses, so maybe it was his panty hose that were in a bunch.

[youarenotspecial]

When he goes into his Elvis the Pelvis thing you can hear people in the audience laughing like, "What the hell is this guy doing?!" Less than a year later he was The KING!!! Classic.

[antiquecans69]

True but you can also here the ladies going apeshit haha.

[rainbowerica]

i like milton berle

[Superphilipp]

Where the hell are the horn players standing?

[yellyman]

There wasn`t horn players in the original show. They have been added later, but it sounded cool!

[kd5ful]

Thanks for adding this.

This was Elvis on MB's show BEFORE he appeared on

Mr. Sullivan's show.

The brunette in this video is my Mom (loooong before she had me :-).

...Again, Thanks!! :-)

[Keriba32]

That's so cool! My mom was at that famous Beatles concert in Shea Stadium, but there's no hope for a video with her in it.

[ThreeD2007]

What did your mother think of the performance while she was watching it? That it was very different, new, exciting? Did he ooze charisma even then?

[ThreeD2007]

This last question is for kd5ful.

[kd5ful]

I have never really thought to ask her.

I know she thought he was attractive, and there is no doubt in my mind she liked the music he brought about, I was never really raised with his music being played in our home.

I think she got caught up more in the wave caused by the Beatles.

[johnnytyrone]

Kd5ful, why are you wasting your obvious talent for fiction here? The videos on your channel are not the videos of someone 38 years old, and even if you were in fact 38 years old, the brunette they show (in 1956 remember) would not have been having kids 13 or 14 years later.

[johnnytyrone]

Also, don't forget that the young lady here - who certainly seems to be enjoying Elvis' performance - would have been seven years older when the Beatles arrived. It was teenyboppers - not women pushing 30 - who were caught up in Beatlemania in 1964.

[johnnytyrone]

Finally, let me suggest that the brunette shown here would have had some Elvis records in her collection, and her children would have heard them over the years (whether or not they were into Primus).

[antiquecans69]

Its not impossible to have kids at that age.

[gayfem6294]
