The earworm for today is "(Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear" by Elvis Presley - and some of you know why.
Released in 1957, it was the second snip in the neutering of the sex bomb - the first being Steve Allen's cruel "Hound Dog" performance - this time, at the hands of Col. Tom Parker. As an inside job, it shows that that the first cut may be the deepest but it still may not be the one that hurts the most.
Written by Kal Mann and Bernie Lowe, the royalty windfall helped propel their Cameo Records into Philly's own hit factory, as well as to create a few of the Bobbys that would fill the charts while Elvis was away.
