This song was big when we were kids, all over MTV. My brother used to sing his version: "We gonna walk down to electric barbecue, and cook without a fire."
The King's later material is under-appreciated. The lush, orchestral pop of songs like this and later "Kentucky Rain" and "Suspicious Minds" are my favorite pieces of his catalog. This version from the untouchable '68 Comeback Special is fantastic.
This was my brother's favorite song when it came out! LOVE it.
