Hound Dog—Big Mama Thornton & Elvis

We did this last night at Latitude 18. When I first decided to learn the song, I discovered that Big Mama Thornton actually recorded this 3 years before Elvis. I like her version a lot. Someone called it "saucier."

We usually combine them into our own crazy thing!
