Silverstein - Smile in Your Sleep (Remix)

Elvis also came up with a game technique for this film that would become his trademark: dozens handed out colorful handkerchiefs to his fans crowding around the stage. Interaction with the public occupied an increasingly important place in his show, but unlike previous performances, Elvis seemed to amuse himself, making fun of the audience, as if an abyss opened between him and his admirers. Here he is with a sly twinkle in his gaze unbuttoning the “zipper” of his overalls and immediately fastens it again, chuckling sneakily, while the women in evening dresses scream piercingly; and now throws the teddy bear into a dense group of female fans and watches them pull each other by the hair. “They are strange after all,” he wonders, leaving the stage at the end of the show. “Normal people don’t behave like that.”
