TRIVIA QUESTION:

"All Shook Up" is one of the many hit songs of Elvis Presley. It reached the top of all three U.S. charts (pop, country and R&B), staying there for eight weeks in 1957, from April 13 through May 27. It is certified 2X Platinum by the RIAA. On the R&B chart, "All Shook Up" became Elvis Presley's second single to reach number one[1]. It was the Billboard Year End number one song for 1957. It was ranked #352 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.

Otis Blackwell, who had written "Don't Be Cruel," also penned Elvis Presley’s number-one hit “All Shook Up." In retrospect, the tune tends to be overshadowed by Elvis' other major recordings from 1957, but "All Shook Up" racked up some interesting statistics in its time. The song remained at the top of Billboard's pop chart for nine weeks, and it stayed on the chart for 30 weeks -- the longest of any Elvis single. At year's end, "All Shook Up" was named the number-one single for 1957.

The Jeff Beck Group released a rendition of the song on the Beckola album (1969), with Rod Stewart on lead vocals and Ronnie Wood on bass.

The Beatles performed the song during their oldies jams during the Let It Be sessions in 1969.

The song was recorded by Suzi Quatro in the mid-1970s. Anson Williams performed the song on the Happy Days TV show in the 1970s.

The Gyromatics covered the song in 1984 and can be heard in the film Roadhouse 66.

In 1991, Billy Joel recorded the song for the movie Honeymoon in Vegas, which also featured other Elvis Presley songs by various artists. Joel released the song as a single and it peaked at #92 in the US and #27 in the UK.

It was covered by Paul McCartney on his album Run Devil Run (1999), and by Cliff Richard on Wanted (2001).

It has also been recorded by Ry Cooder.
