Robert Matthew-Walker, Elvis Presley - A Study In Music, 1979
---------------------------------------------------
Alluding vaguely to his trademark hiccuping vocal style and spitting out syllables like he can't keep them down any longer, Presley manages to sound volcanic even while he's slightly restrained. The result is one of Elvis' quintessentially mainstream early hits, a lightweight pop song given a deceptively bravura performance.

"All Shook Up" Lyrics
What's wrong with me?
I'm itching like a man on a fuzzy tree
My friends say I'm actin' wild as a bug
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
My hands are shaky and my knees are weak
I can't seem to stand on my own two feet
Who do you thank when you have such luck?
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
Please don't ask me what's on my mind
I'm a little mixed up, but I'm feelin' fine
When I'm near that girl that I love best
My heart beats so it scares me to death!
She touched my hand what a chill I got
Her lips are like a volcano when it's hot
I'm proud to say she's my buttercup
I'm in love
I'm all shook up
Mm mm oh, oh, yeah, yeah!
My tongue gets tied when I try to speak
My insides shakin' like a leaf on a tree
There's only one cure for this body of mine
That's to have the girl that I love so fine
