- Hot dog!
- Look who's outside!
Elvis! Elvis!
Excuse me a second, boys.
Elvis?
How would you boys like to meet
the king of rock and roll?
Why, hell, yeah!
How you doin', son?
Ferriday, Louisiana
Christmas - 1956
Jerry!
Here you go.
Y'all want one? All right. Here you go.
- Here.
- Oh, thanks.
- Ain't that Jimmy's car?
- It's Uncle Jimmy.
Hey! Here you go, cousin.
Take a look at that.
Just play it.
I'm of the opinion that a God-given talent
ought to be used for the glory of God.
I'm of the opinion that a God-given talent

Jimmy.
Come here.
How come you're actin' like this?
Boy, you got a smart mouth on you,
talkin' about God that way.
Loosen up, cousin. Now, look, I know you.
You're my blood and you're just like me
if you wouldn't fight it so hard.
So why don't you and me go down
to the chocolate quarter
and have some fun like we used to?
You remember how?
Now I'm going to tell you somethin'
God will not be mocked.
He speaks through those two hands
of yours, or tries to.
Your music is meant to serve him.
You were raised to preach his word.
Yeah, but his word is "Don't".
And I got this thing inside me
that says "Do, do, do".
Don't you believe in God any more?
Course I do. You know that I do.
Then talk to him.
And listen to what he has to say.
Read this.
"Narrow is the way to life everlasting. "
Other side.
"Broad is the road
that leadeth to destruction. "
- Sort of like heads or tails, ain't it?
- You keep it, Jerry Lee.
You keep it to remind you that
every day you live you have a choice
whether or not to serve God.
I will.
Choices, Jerry Lee. Talk to God.
and I want to preach your word.
Hallelujah.
Just give me one hit record.
- Hey, killer.
- Hey.
- Take a look at that.
- Jerry!
Thank you.
Whoo!
Go, girl!
- Well, hello, girls.
- Come on.
Come on over.
A whole lotta shakin' goin' on.
Well, don't be afraid, little girls.
It's only me, Jerry Lee.
Don't you like it?
My mama don't want me
listening to rock and roll.
She says it leads to impure thoughts.
Her mama's right.
It is the devil's music.
Yeah.
- What do you think?
- Yeah.
Roy Hall had a country version
of that a couple of years ago.
- No big deal.
- Yes, sir, but mine's rock and roll.
Yeah, but, man, we can't
put out a song like that.
Man, it's too suggestive.
Everybody knows "whole lotta shakin"'
is what humpin' is all about.
- That's why the kids are gonna love it.
- And the parents ain't gonna stand for it.
- Play somethin' else.
- I can play anything, anywhere, anytime,
but that "Shakin"' song
