About the song
**Elvis Presley – A Little Less Conversation** is a song that brings together the timeless charm of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll with a more contemporary twist, making it a remarkable piece in Elvis’s legendary catalog. Originally featured in the 1968 film *Live a Little, Love a Little*, the track was composed by Mac Davis and Billy Strange. However, the song truly gained renewed life and a fresh identity when it was remixed in 2002 by Junkie XL, a Dutch DJ and producer, for its inclusion in the *A Little Less Conversation* remix album. This version of the song became an international hit, even achieving chart-topping success in several countries.
The song’s lyrics speak to the human desire for more meaningful and authentic connections, cutting through the noise of superficial conversations. Elvis’s voice, as always, exudes both charisma and emotion, inviting listeners to appreciate the intimacy of a moment where words are less important than actions. The call for “a little less conversation, a little more action” is both a playful and earnest demand, a sentiment that resonates deeply, whether in personal relationships or broader social commentary.
Musically, **A Little Less Conversation** stands out due to its catchy, upbeat rhythm and its infectious blend of rock, pop, and even hints of funk. Elvis’s vocal performance in the original is iconic, filled with the bold energy that defined his career, but the 2002 remix by Junkie XL adds an electronic flair, giving the song a modern edge that continues to captivate listeners. The remix not only introduced Elvis to a younger generation but also showcased his versatility, bridging the gap between classic rock and contemporary electronic dance music.
This song, in both its original and remixed forms, is a celebration of Elvis Presley’s enduring influence on popular music. It underscores his ability to transcend eras, connecting with audiences across time. Whether you’ve been a fan of Elvis since the 1950s or discovered him later in life, **A Little Less Conversation** is a testament to his timeless appeal and his unmatched ability to captivate hearts and minds with both his voice and his charisma.

Lyrics
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) Satisfy me baby (satisfy me)
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 (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) Satisfy me baby (satisfy me)
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 (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) Satisfy me (satisfy me)
