Words & Music: Claude DeMetrius/ Fred Wise
Well down in New Orleans at the Golden Goose
I grabbed a green-eyed dolly that was on the loose
Well I dig that music, well she said me too
I said pretty baby come on and let's do

The Dixieland rock
Well the Dixieland rock
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me

With the blue light shining on her swinging hips
She got the drummer so nervous that he lost his sticks
The cornet player hit a note that's flat
The tromboner hit him while the poor cat sat

The Dixieland rock
Well the Dixieland rock
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me

I was all pooped out and when the clock struck four
But she said no daddy can't leave the floor
She wore a clinging dress that fit so tight
She couldn't sit down so we danced all night

The Dixieland rock
Well the Dixieland rock
Let your hair down Sugar, shake it free
And do the Dixieland rock with me
Let your hair dance Sugar, shake it
And do the Dixieland rock with me
Recorded: 1958/01/16, first released on EP

You could call this Rap & Roll. Can't remember anyone else trying this. Even more rapping was 'New Orleans'. So did Elvis invent rapping type music? The film, setting, songs and story line all perfect.

This song stinks! NOT! "Dixieland Rock" is a great song with very funny lyrics. The whole "King Creole" LP was absolutely fan-bloody-tastic.

The King Creole soundtrack is fantastic and indeed the best one. This is a strong performance of our man, though not in the same league as the title song. Four stars from me.

Although i am not so obsessed of the 50's as most of the guys here i have to admit that this must be his best soundtrack, it even doesn't sound as a soundtrack. I like it very much but still i am glad he went on.5 stars.

This one has all the energy of "Jailhouse Rock" and is a great over-looked rocker.

I always thought this song should have been a single. Great movie and great movie soundtrack.

I love this song. It truly is Dixieland Rock. Listen to how into this Elvis is. Such enthusiasm will be lost on later soundtrack recordings. This was the last truly classic soundtrack LP that reflected all styles of Elvis' range as an artist.
