A Little Less Conversation

Rating:

Words & Music: Billy Strange/ Mac Davis

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
It's a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Come on baby I'm tired of talking
Grab your coat and let's start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Don't procrastinate, don't articulate
Girl it's getting late, gettin' upset waitin' around

A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby

Recorded: 1968/03/07, first released on single

When the 68 Special album 'Memories' came out in the late nineties, its version of ALLC completely blew away the original single release. I always thought the original was a bit sterile and Elvis never really got going (despite the 'whoa' at the start). That it was buried on this album didn't prevent me playing it almost exclusively and pointing it out as the absolute highlight of the 'Memories' release in a review I wrote. When his voice cracks on the word 'heart' in the last line, it's the divine mistake. When the world got hold of it, I couldn't have been happier.

I "Absolutely" Love the Remixes for "A little Less Conversation" and "Rubberneckin". And of course, I Love the original versions, also !! I wish RCA would Contact "JXL" and " Paul Oakenfold" to do more remixes on Elvis songs. The new "Baby Lets Play House" remix isn't in the same league as "ALLC" and "Rubberneckin", but at least, its something "new" for the fans to enjoy.

It seems it was supposed to be included in the 68 Comeback special. I wish Elvis could have performed this song in at least one of the 2 stand up shows. I love the original, I'm not too fond of the remix though but hey, it was a huge hit on the charts for the public in general so all I can say is "Bravo" !

By the time this single was released in 1968, ELvis was considered old hat to the record buying public. But I wish this had gotten airplay for it was catchy and could have been a hit as proved by the remix in 2002. A great song, good lyrics and Elvis rockin.

I recall vividly the release in those days. Exciting. Even my friends who did not like Elvis, liked this song. It is full of spunk, Great. Personally I am not fond of the modern remixes, but my wife likes that one. So it reaches out to others.
