About The Song
(Watch the video below)
Earth Boy is a song that was recorded by Elvis Presley in 1960 for the movie Girls! Girls! Girls. The song was written by Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett, who also wrote many other songs for Elvis’ movies. The song is a duet between Elvis and a female singer, who is supposed to be an angel from another planet.
The song is a humorous and playful tune that contrasts the differences between the earth boy and the angel. The earth boy is fascinated by the angel’s beauty, voice, and powers, while the angel is curious about the earth boy’s customs, habits, and emotions. The song has a catchy melody and a lively tempo, with a rock and roll style. The song is in the key of F major, and has a 32-bar AABA structure.
Elvis Presley’s version of Earth Boy is one of the lesser-known songs from his movie career, as it was not released as a single or on an album until 19785. The song was also not performed in the movie, but only played in the background during a scene where Elvis and his co-star Stella Stevens are on a boat. The song is considered a novelty song, and a fun example of Elvis’ versatility and humor.
Earth Boy is a song that reflects the theme of intercultural and interplanetary romance, which was popular in the 1950s and 1960s, especially in science fiction and fantasy genres. The song also shows the influence of doo-wop and pop music on Elvis’ style, as he adapted to the changing trends of the music industry. The song is a rare and charming glimpse into Elvis’ playful side, and a tribute to his musical talent and charisma.

Lyrics
Let's sing along with the lyrics!
Earth boy dream of angel
Angel she be sweet and make him have happy heart
In land of love
Angel dream of earth boy, earth boy who'll be true
And love her till sun grow cold in land of love
Angel walk on street
Earth boy walking too
All at once they meet
Oo-oo-oo dreams come true
Now best part of story
Like two doves in land of love we will always be
Happy angel is you
Happy earth boy is me
Angel walk on street
Earth boy walking too
All at once they meet
Oo-oo-oo dreams come true
Now best part of story
Like two doves in land of love we will always be
Happy angel is you
Happy earth boy is me
Earth boy dream of angel
Angel dream of earth boy
Earth boy dream of angel
Angel dream of earth boy
Earth boy dream of angel
