Viva Las Vegas!
Cooper - 27/04 2007 - 0 kommentarer
Elvis Presleys soundtrack til Viva Las Vegas, blev udgivet på B-siden af singlen What'd I Say, i 1964. Det første album med sangen blev dog først udgivet i 1970, selvom sangen siden single udgivelsen, har været et kæmpe hit.
Viva Las Vegas er skrevet af Doc Pomus og Mort Shuman.

En del af ovenstående kunstnere har ændret i den originale tekst, men den rigtige kan du læse herunder:
Den originale tekst
Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire.
Gotta whole lotta money that's ready to burn, so get those stakes up higher.
There's a thousand pretty women waiting out there.
They're all living the devil-may-care,
and I'm just a devil with love to spare, so
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
How I wish that there were more than the 24 hours in the day.
But even if there were 40 more, I wouldn't sleep a minute away.
Oh, there's blackjack and poker and the roulette wheel.
A fortune won and lost on every deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel.
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas with your neon flashing,
and your one-armed bandits crashing
all those hopes down the drain.
Viva Las Vegas turning day into night time,
turning night into daytime.
If you see it once, you'll never be the same again.
I'm gonna keep on running, gonna have me some fun, if it costs me my very last dime.
If I wind up broke well I'll always remember I had a swinging time.
I'm gonna give it everything I got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot.
Let me shoot a seven with every shot.
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva Las Vegas
Viva, Viva Las Vegas
