Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe producers were not allowed to use any Elvis recordings or songs during the episode "All Shook Up" because the Presley estate was upset over the episode which they felt was disrespectful. Nonetheless, two songs identified with Elvis were still included: Hammer mumbles nonsense lyrics to the melody of "Love Me Tender" which was actually an old public domain folk song called "Aura Lee", and sings the ending of "Battle Hymn of the Republic" which was also public domain.

Featured review
What it was like to play Elvis.
As an American actor/ screenwriter in Hollywood, I always liked Elvis's films and thought he was very underrated as an actor. When I went to be seen to play him in "Sledge Hammer", I was a bit surprised when director Jackie Cooper immidiately liked me and said, "You'll be perfect to play Elvis in the opening sequence of the episode". But what I was even more amazed at, was the reaction of the audience to the show. For months people who recognized me from the episode would come up to me on the street and tell me how much they liked the show, but more importantly, how much they loved Elvis. Wardrobe ladies, housewives, people from all walks of life, both British and American would tell me their deep feelngs for him. Some with tears in their eyes. I have never seen such genuine emotion. It was truly a life changing experience. Elvis was one of a kind. They say he loved his fans, but they truly loved him right back... Beau Dare
