PRACTICE MUSCI VIDEO #2

We have decided for this practice shoot that Elvis will be the one in the original "jail" costume and every one else will be in student costumes.

The video will include Elvis running from a teacher to find himself on stage. He picks up a microphone and the track starts, as he is singing the teacher enters the room and a chase sequence happens. Elvis runs into a class room to hide, he sees a lesson is happening and everyone stops working and starts to dance. The teacher enters the room again and Elvis runs out the door. When the instrumentals are playing you see shots of students playing music. The chase continues and the video ends with Elvis having left school.


"Jailhouse Rock"

The warden threw a party in the county jail.
The prison band was there and they began to wail.
The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing.
You should've heard those knocked out jailbirds sing.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone.
The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang,
The whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang.

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Number forty-seven said to number three:
"You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see.
I sure would be delighted with your company,
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

The sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone
Way over in the corner weepin' all alone.
The warden said, "Hey, buddy, don't you be no square.
If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.

Shifty Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake,
No one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break."
Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks."

Let's rock, everybody, let's rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
Was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock.
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock
Dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock...



This is what our costume looked like for Elvis. We tried to get the costume as close to the Jailhouse rock costume. The costume consists of shiny shoes, black jeans, a black jeans jacket. We had hoped to find a black and white striped T-shirt but we didn't find one in time so we ended up using a blank white T-shirt. We also tried to have the hair look like Elvis's.
