The money tree (Tepper-Bennett)
The story goes it was offered to Elvis in the mid-sixties but I doubt because no publishing company (Gladys Music) is mentioned on the label. The song is not registered at ASCAP. I’ve not found a connection with a recording session or movie in the 60’s. colonel snow

Girl happy (George Stoll-Robert van Eps) – this version is registered at ASCAP.
I don’t know it’s a demo version or an instrumental version. They have written the music for the soundtrack (see Girl happy cues). It’s a pity there’s not much known about demo versions / musical sequence of the film music in the movie. colonel snow
