Turn me loose

Written by Pomus - Shuman


It's not confirmed but the song was offered in 1958/1959 to Elvis; because Elvis was in the army he wasn't able to record the song.
Fabian recorded his version in early 1959 (Chancellor C 1033); Mort Suman recorded the song late 1959 (Decca 11184)

The most wonderful day of my life

For scenes 103-106 the song "What a day" was selected; this song was rejected and finally replaced by Today tomorrow and forever (duet version track 2012).
It seems the song "The most wonderful day of my life" is not a real song but a creation by the writer of the script.
