THE SONG ELVIS BEGGED TO HIDE: Elvis Presley — “Dominick” 🐂🤫
Recorded in October 1967 for the film Stay Away, Joe, "Dominick" (also known as "Dominic") is legendary not for its quality, but for being a song Elvis Presley absolutely detested. Written by Sid Wayne and Ben Weisman, the track was composed for a scene where Elvis's character, Joe Lightcloud, sings to an aging, disinterested bull named Dominick. Elvis was so humiliated by the "cow-themed" lyrics—including lines like "Moo, moo, move your little foot do"—that after the session, he made his producer, Felton Jarvis, promise that the song would never be released on a record. Jarvis kept that promise for decades; however, after both of their deaths, the song eventually surfaced on bootlegs (ironically titled Elvis’ Greatest S**t) and was finally officially released by RCA in 1994, much to the chagrin of Elvis purists.
