Rejected songs
A lot of songs were offered for recording by Elvis. Most of the demo's were rejected and even not recorded. For some scenes in a movie several songwriters were invited to write a song for a certain scene. Elvis and /or the director made a choice whiche one was fit for recording. Here I'll add all the information I come across. colonel snow -------------------- ![]() |

Stop beatin' 'round the mulberry bush
According to a scan of a letter in the booklet from The Complete 50's Masters Steve Sholes sent on 24 aug. 1956 a demo record to Elvis with this song. However it was not recorded by Elvis. I found a few recordings: 11-07-38 - Tommy Dorsey & his Orchestra (Victor 26012); 30-07-38 - Kay Kyser & his Orchestra; 11-08-38 - Al Donahue & his Orchestra (clip on Youtube); 22-08-38 - Count Basie (Decca 2004 - clip on Youtube); 1952 - Bill Haley (clip on Youtube). colonel snow
