Classic Tune of the Week: 3. Bossa Nova Baby, by Elvis Presley (1963)

Sorry its a bit late this week. This time its a golden oldie from the King of Rock & Roll himself, Elvis Presley, although its one of his lesser known pieces. Originally written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller for the 1963 film, Fun in Acapulco, for a scene in which Elvis performs on stage, Bossa Nova Baby is a gloriously fun and catchy little number that always brings a smile to my face and a puts spring in my step, everytime it pops up on the iPod. I hope you enjoy it too.

First, here's the original studio version:
