I Slipped, I Stumbled, I Fell

Words & Music: Fred Wise/ Ben Weisman
I look at you and wham, I'm head over heels
I guess that love is a banana peel
I feel so bad and yet I'm feeling so well
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

One crazy kiss and bam, I head for the skies
I guess that love is like a cake of ice
You skate along but then you can never tell
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell

I never thought I'd get tricked
By you sweet talking lies
You've got a bag of tricks
And when you get busy
I got dazzled and dizzy
I fell like a ton of bricks

My knees are weak, my head is spinning around
I guess that love has turned me upside down
Thought I'd get hurt, but gee, it's turning out well
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell
Recorded: 1960/11/08, first released on Something for Everybody

A catchy rockaballad too weak for single release but pleasant enough.

Catchy song but I don't think single material. One of the better movie songs if you look at soundtracks as a whole over his career. While I Feel So Bad may not have been a commercial success, it sure was a critical one and I'm glad it was a single release to keep the high quality of Elvis singles flowing.

Short rocker song that is very catchy. Good tune from "Wild In the Country"

It is hard to believe this came from the somber movie "Wild In The Country". Other than this fine rocker, this soundtrack produced only somber and at times dull, dreary ballads. It is very short, so that might be the reason, RCA didn't consider it for a single, but I think it would have been a much better received single than "I Feel So Bad". The follow up single to "Surrender" should have been "There's Always Me" with this song on the flipside.

Not a bad little song. I think of it as a cute rocker, better than anything uptempo from Blue Hawaii in my opionion.
