My younger brother finally returned my Elvis #1 Hits CD, after 4 years. I put Let Me Be (Your Teddy Bear) on repeat mode all night, not least because I love teddy bears. The song goes like this:
Oh baby let me be
Your loving teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear
*Chorus
I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
Cause lions ain't the kind
You love enough
Just wanna be, your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear
Oh baby let me be, around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight
* Chorus
I just wanna be your teddy bear
Your loving teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear
*Chorus
I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
Cause lions ain't the kind
You love enough
Just wanna be, your teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck
And lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear
Oh baby let me be, around you every night
Run your fingers through my hair
And cuddle me real tight
* Chorus
I just wanna be your teddy bear
I think the oldies are just so fun. Can you imagine a current pop song about wanting to be your teddy bear? The current pop songs just scream sex, sex, and, (can we change topic already?) more sex, and are sometimes incomprehensible otherwise. I know, someone is going to say, doesn't this thing about "put a chain around my neck" smacks of S&M? But that so misses the point.
Maybe, as Elvis sang, "We need a little less conversation, a little more action please." *wink*

That is surprising. I would not have pegged you for an Elvis fan :)
Definitely not an undies-throwing kind of fan, but I like his songs enough. :) I can listen to just about anything, except trance and techno.
