Elvis Presley – I Think I’m Gonna Like It Heres

Introduction:

In 1957, a young Elvis Presley was already a rising star, having caused a stir with his energetic brand of rock and roll. That same year, “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” was released as the B-side to his hit single “Jailhouse Rock”. The song, produced by Sun Records founder Sam Phillips, showcased many of the elements that were making Presley a legend.

While B-sides were often considered less important than the A-side, “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” became a popular track in its own right. It received significant airplay and was a favorite on jukeboxes. The song’s success reflected Presley’s charisma and the infectious energy of his music, which was blurring the lines between country, blues, and rock and roll.

“I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” is a short but energetic tune, clocking in at just over two minutes. The lyrics speak of a carefree optimism, with the narrator feeling a sense of adventure and possibility in a new place. Presley’s vocals are powerful and playful, and the driving rhythm section keeps the listener engaged.

The song’s upbeat tempo is punctuated by flourishes on the piano, adding another layer of texture to the sound. While not as commercially successful as “Jailhouse Rock”, “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” is a strong example of Presley’s early rock and roll sound and a reminder of the energy that captivated audiences in the 1950s. It remains a favorite among fans and a testament to Presley’s enduring influence on popular music.

Lyrics:

No-one’s in a hurry
No-one seems to worry
Why they’re all so happy is very clear
Every day siesta, every night fiesta
I think I’m gonna like it here

All this lovely scenery
There’s more to it than greenery
I know a chance for romance is always near
Mission bells are ringing, everybody’s singing
I think I’m gonna like it hear

The sound of laughter from every doorway
Sweet music floating across the square
It seems to say things are going better
Your troubles like bubbles will soon disappear in the air

Down to my last peso, but I’m not afraid to say so
I feel just like a brave, Spanish cavalier
I don’t care where we go, so lead on “mi amigo”
I think I’m gonna like it here

Melodias…..lapieras

Your troubles like bubbles will soon disappear in the air

Down to my last peso, but I’m not afraid to say so
I feel just like a brave, Spanish cavalier
I don’t care where we go, so lead on” mi amigo”
I think I’m gonna like it here
