About the song
When we think of **Elvis Presley**, we think of timeless music, unparalleled charisma, and an indelible mark on the world of entertainment. Two of his most iconic songs—**Unchained Melody** and **All Shook Up**—exemplify his versatility and the broad appeal that made him a global superstar.
**Unchained Melody**, originally written in 1955 by Alex North and Hy Zaret for the film *Unchained*, became a true classic in the hands of **Elvis Presley**. His 1977 recording of the song is nothing short of emotional and evocative. Though it had been performed by many artists before him, **Elvis’s** version, filled with deep longing and passion, resonates with listeners on a profound level. His powerful, yet tender voice adds a layer of raw sincerity to the melody, turning it into a haunting love song that captures the essence of yearning and devotion. The song’s connection with the film *Unchained* (a drama about a man in prison longing for freedom) was certainly fitting, but **Elvis’s** rendition elevated it to a level of timelessness, making it one of his most memorable performances.
On the other hand, **All Shook Up**, released in 1957, is a lively and playful track that showcases a different side of **Elvis Presley**. The song is upbeat and full of energy, with **Elvis’s** signature rock and roll style front and center. The lyrics, which describe the feeling of being “all shook up” in love, are catchy and infectious. **All Shook Up** became a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts and cementing **Elvis’s** place as the King of Rock and Roll. It was an instant hit, known for its infectious beat and **Elvis’s** charismatic vocal delivery, which made it a staple of his live performances.
Both **Unchained Melody** and **All Shook Up** reflect different aspects of **Elvis’s** artistry, from his emotional depth to his exuberant showmanship. These songs not only demonstrate the breadth of his musical range but also his ability to connect with audiences across generations, making him an enduring legend. Whether it’s the soulful ballad of **Unchained Melody** or the playful rhythm of **All Shook Up**, **Elvis Presley** remains an unparalleled force in the world of music.

Lyrics
A well I bless my soul
What’s wrong with me?
I’m itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I’m actin’ wild as a bug
I’m in love
I’m all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can’t seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I’m in love
I’m all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!Please don’t ask me what’s on my mind
I’m a little mixed up, but I’m feelin’ fine
When I’m near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a vulcano that’s hot
I’m proud to say she’s my buttercup
I’m in love
I’m all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!My tongue get tied when I try to speak
My insides shake like a leaf on a tree
There’s only one cure for this body of mine
That’s to have the girl that I love so fine!
