“Jailhouse Rock” è una canzone scritta da Jerry Leiber e Mike Stoller, registrata da Elvis Presley e pubblicata nel 1957, una delle canzoni più iconiche della storia della musica rock and roll.

Il testo racconta la storia di un ragazzo imprigionato che improvvisa una festa nella sua cella, incoraggiando gli altri prigionieri a ballare e divertirsi nonostante la situazione difficile. La canzone descrive l’atmosfera vivace e festosa della prigione durante questa festa improvvisata.

Oltre alla sua melodia e al suo ritmo coinvolgenti, “Jailhouse Rock” è nota anche per il suo testo scanzonato e per l’energia contagiosa che trasmette. È diventata una delle canzoni più celebri di Elvis Presley e un classico del genere rock and roll, simboleggiando il suo stile ribelle e innovativo.

Testo della canzone:

The warden threw a party in the county jailThe prison band was there and they began to wailThe band was jumpin’ and the joint began to swingYou should’ve heard those knocked out jailbirds sing

Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophoneLittle Joe was blowin’ on the slide tromboneThe drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bangThe whole rhythm section was a purple gang

Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock

Number 47 said to number three“You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did seeI sure would be delighted with your companyCome on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me”

Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock, Rock, Rock

Sad Sack was sittin’ on a block of stoneWay over in the corner weepin’ all aloneThe warden said, “Hey, buddy, don’t you be no squareIf you can’t find a partner, use a wooden chair”

Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, “For Heaven’s sakeNo one’s lookin’, now’s the chance to make a break”Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, “Nix nixI wanna stick around a while and get my kicks”

Let’s rockEverybody, let’s rockEverybody in the whole cell blockWas dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock

Dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin’ to the Jailhouse RockDancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock, dancin’ to the Jailhouse RockDancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock
