Double Trouble (1967)

Advertised as an “adventure filled with dames, diamonds, discotheques, and danger,” this movie featured a soundtrack for which the recording sessions once again got Elvis so mad that he stormed out of the studio. It could have been because he was expected to sing about “Old MacDonald” having a farm and going “E-I-E-I-O,” with the addition of embarrassing new lyrics about chicken fricassee, pork and beans, and burgers. Or it could have been because he had to perform the rest of this familiar mishmash of pseudo-smooth (“City by Night”), pseudo-rocking (“Long Legged Girl”), and pseudo-polka (“I Love Only One Girl”) and release it on the same day as his supreme acolytes the Beatles released Sgt. Pepper’s.
