Elvis did a German folk song, "Muss i denn" on the "G.I. Blues" soundtrack, singing to a puppet in the movie. For that reason RCA wouldn't release it as a single, fearing it would damage the King's image. Joe Dowell took the song to #1 in September of 1961. Ray Stevens played the organ here. According to Songfacts the session was rushed, as on the same day producer Shelby Singleton also recorded Ray's "Ahab The Arab" and Leroy Van Dyke's "Walk On By."
