Re: Any love for "Kismet"?
I agree. He would be shaking it at why he let his career start to get away from him with these types of films and soundtracks. Read & enjoy:shiatsujake wrote:If Elvis is looking down, he will be shaking his head.
Elvis continued to grumble about the material and the continued pressure put on the stable of songwriters corraled by Freddy Bienstock — the writing team of Giant, Baum, and Kaye alone had provided 17 of 47 songs on the past four soundtracks in an eighteen-month period — but he soldiered on with as much grace as possible.[3] In reality, almost any song could have been squeezed into the story lines, including old classics. But as long as sales continued, the formula required guaranteed control of publishing and new songs by the same songwriters.[4] However, Presley's sales were plunging in music stores as well as ticket sales at the box office.
Eleven songs were recorded for Harum Scarum, and all were used and issued on the soundtrack with two of the tracks omitted in the film. As with Roustabout, no singles were issued in conjunction with the album. A single was issued a month later, using the leftover 1957 track "Tell Me Why" backed with "Blue River" from the aborted May 1963 "album" sessions. In an onimous sign of things to come, it only made it to number 33 on the Billboard Hot 100, the lowest charting single of Presley's career to date.[5] With the release of The Beatles' album Rubber Soul a mere thirty days following Harum Scarum's release, Presley's career was clearly in jeopardy with no end in sight.
As I have stated in a previous post, this album was a turning point for many long time fans who automatically bought every release. They had had enough.

This soundtrack is utter garbage and the nadir of Elvis soundtrack recordings. We get it-Elvis cut it so it is fantastic. I'm sure you must deep down believe that Elvis version of Old MacDonald brings something to the table-that ending mulligan stew how cool is that? As i noted in your thread of the pedestrian Girls Girls Girls title track, no one objects to you loving the most mediocre and poorest recordings of Elvis career. There are many i love. I just never pretend these are legacy recordings-they arent.This should be the all time top ten original post. Well done...

Re: Any love for "Kismet"?
If you take notice, you'll see that I've liked your posts as well, when I agree or appreciate your opinion in this or other threads. Same with the doc, same with others. I say when I agree, I say when I don't. Check all my posts.Davelee wrote:Though to be fair I could accuse you, Juan, Hard Rocker, Mikefromholland the same thing, yes men, considering you lot are always liking each other's posts.
Can't say the same for you Davelee. Really. I agree with Juan, Hard Rocker and others who say you are a Yes man. Why I agree? Because you sure come across like one. Check all your posts. It's almost scary. I said it before. Feel sorry for people who can't think for themselves.

Re: Any love for "Kismet"?
Well you're wrong, unfortunately your intelligence don't see that. Yes, you've liked a couple of my posts, but then again i've liked a couple of yours - if you've taken any notice. But you still accuse me of being a yes man just because I and others do not agree with most of what you say and post.

Re: Any love for "Kismet"?
Strangely I like it too!!! (along with So Close, Yet so Far, Wisdom of the ages-I have the Venus CD too with outtakes)....................even tho it was during the worst movie of Elvis' career..................should have never been made - but it was - it was when we had some fabulous tunes rockin' the air waves and here poor Elvis is singing and acting in this movie????!!!!!!! What the hell, I remember going to the theatre then and there were only a few people in it....................when a few years before it was packed..............pathetic move for Elvis' management team!!!.................ruination of Elvis' career there.......................he looked so good too......................just a damn shame..................he should have been in the studio recording non-movie tracks.........

Re: Any love for "Kismet"?
Don't care if others agree with me or not, thank God it's a free country. That's why I'm worried about Yes man. They don't use that freedom. It's telling you come up with an argument like that.

Re: Any love for "Kismet"?
To be honest, Mike, i'd rather you not respond to my posts if you're gonna accuse me of something i'm not, because quite frankly it's rude and not true, or better still, please foe me because you're beginning to offend me.

Re: Any love for "Kismet"?
Aww, bless. The man who goes around the board telling people they're lacking in intelligence gets offended when called a "yes man." Perhaps you should start thinking if the people you accuse of having no intelligence get offended too, then? Or do they not matter?

No dented ego. When someone accuses you of something you're not, and it's plain for all to see (except those who deliberately want to add more fuel to the fire) that means their intelligence is lacking.

Re: Any love for "Kismet"?
Well, as the accusation was that you were a "yes" man to one of the most frequent posters on this board, why don't you dispel those accusations by linking to the posts in which you have criticised him? That way, it will be "plain for all to see" that the accusations towards you were wrong. You've only been posting for six months, so such occasions should be fresh in your mind.Davelee wrote:No dented ego.
