About the song
When **Elvis Presley** returned from his military service in Germany in 1960, there was a great deal of speculation about whether the so-called “King of Rock and Roll” would still hold sway over a rapidly evolving music scene. Would the magic still be there after two years away from the spotlight? Any lingering doubts were swiftly put to rest with the release of **”STUCK ON YOU” In STEREO – 1960**, a single that didn’t just mark his comeback — it reasserted his dominance.
**”STUCK ON YOU”** was the first recording Elvis made after his return, and RCA wasted no time in getting it out to the public. Released in March 1960, it shot to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 by the end of April — a powerful statement that Elvis had not lost his touch. From the opening bars, the song carries the smooth, confident charm that had always been central to his appeal. But this time, there’s an added layer of polish — a slightly more restrained delivery, perhaps, but no less potent. One might say it reflects a man who had seen the world, worn a uniform, and come back with something deeper in his voice.
Musically, **”STUCK ON YOU”** is a masterclass in early 1960s pop-rock — built around a steady, easygoing groove with backing vocals by The Jordanaires and a tasteful rhythm section that complements Elvis’s vocals without overwhelming them. It’s not as rebellious as his earlier hits, nor is it meant to be. This track shows a more mature Presley, who no longer needed to shout to be heard.
The **STEREO** format adds a depth that really allows the arrangement to breathe. In headphones, or a good home stereo system, the layered harmonies and subtle instrumental textures become more apparent. For longtime listeners, this stereo version brings a nostalgic yet fresh experience, offering a new dimension to a well-loved classic.
Above all, **Elvis Presley – STUCK ON YOU In STEREO – 1960** serves as a bridge between eras. It reminds us of the innocence and optimism of postwar America while ushering in a new chapter for a more refined, adult Elvis. It’s the sound of an artist growing up — and taking his audience with him.

Lyrics
You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake-a sugar, but you’ll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh-uh
I’m going to stick like glue
Stick, because I’m
Stuck on youI’m gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-huh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I’m going to stick like glue
Stick, because I’m
Stuck on youHide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain’t gonna do you no good at all
‘Cause once I catch you, and the kissing starts
A team of wild horses couldn’t tear us apartTry to take a tiger from his daddy’s side
That’s how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-huh
Huh, huh
Oh yeah, huh, huh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I’m
Stuck on you
