Title:Harem Holiday
Singer:Elvis Presley
[Lyrics]
Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free
I'm gonna pack my bags
because this great big world is calling me
Every pretty girl's gonna know I'm around
They're gonna know I'm in town on a harem holiday
Twenty women, twenty women by my side
I'm gonna kiss them all,
because I've gotta keep 'em satisfied
Gonna have the best time money can buy
I'm gonna be flying high on a harem holiday
If Romeo had a harem holiday
You can bet that Juliet would have never been his girl forever
Gonna go back, gonna catch that midnight plane
Twenty dancing girls are waiting just to call my name
Gonna have a ball, I ain't gonna waste no time
I'm gonna make 'em all mine on a harem holiday
If Romeo had a harem holiday
You can bet that Juliet would have never been his girl forever
Gonna travel, gonna travel wild and free
I'm gonna pack my bags
because this great big world is calling me
Every pretty girl's gonna know I'm around
They're gonna know
I'm in town on a harem holiday

I may have heard this song before, but it was a long, long time ago when I was a teenager (maybe). An interesting thing about Elvis is that he made many movies in which he sang. This song (Harem Holiday) is a good example. He sang this song in the movie Harum Scarum (1965). If you love this song, why don't you see if you can rent the movie (or watch it online)?
As you may know, many women were crazy about Elvis (they screamed and sometimes fainted). That's where the idea of 'harem' comes from. Maybe you should look up the word 'harem' if you don't know what it means.
I like the phrase "gonna catch that midnight plane" because I used to fly from Sacramento, California to Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota quite often. I sometimes flew on American West Airlines because they had a cheap fare if you flew in the early morning (like 1:00 am). This kind of flight is called a "red eye". That's because you are so tired after the plane lands that your eyes might be bloodshot (red from stress).
This is an interesting selection Chisato.
The only thing I can catch from this song is ....
Elvis loves women.
That's all. LOL
I like
"If Romeo had a harem holiday
You can bet that Juliet would have never been his girl forever"
All I can say is
Men love women,
and Women also love Men.
