About the Song
“Stuck on You” marked Elvis Presley’s triumphant return to the music scene after his two-year service in the US Army, soaring to the number-one spot in 1960 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Recorded in March 1960, the single swiftly hit the airwaves, capturing the top position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in late-April 1960. This achievement not only marked Presley’s first number-one single of the 1960s but also stood as his thirteenth overall. “Stuck on You” didn’t merely dominate the pop charts; it also secured the sixth position on the R&B chart. The song’s ascent to the top effectively ended Percy Faith’s “Theme from A Summer Place,” concluding its nine-week reign at number one on the chart. Across the pond, the record reached an impressive third position in the UK.
Crafted by the songwriting duo of Aaron Schroeder and J. Leslie McFarland and published by Gladys Music, Elvis Presley’s publishing company, “Stuck on You” was more than just a musical triumph. The single boasted a special picture sleeve adorned with the RCA Victor logo and catalog number on the top right corner. Prominently featured in large red letters at the top right was “ELVIS,” reinforcing the King’s return. The bottom left proudly declared, “Elvis’ 1st new recording for his 50,000,000 fans all over the world.” The U.S. picture sleeve included photos of Elvis in the top left and lower right corners, while the New Zealand version featured the “45 R.P.M.” designation on the top right corner, highlighting the global appeal of Presley’s music.

Lyrics
You can shake an apple off an apple tree
Shake-a, shake, sugar
But you’ll never shake me
Uh-uh-uh
No-sir-ee, uh, uh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Stick because I’m
Stuck on you
Gonna run my fingers through your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I’m
Stuck on you
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain’t gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin’ starts
A team of wild horses couldn’t tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy’s side
That’s how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Oh yeah, Uh-uh-uh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I’m
Stuck on you
Hide in the kitchen, hide in the hall
Ain’t gonna do you no good at all
Cause once I catch ya, and the kissin’ starts
A team of wild horses couldn’t tear us apart
Try to take a tiger from his daddy’s side
That’s how love is gonna keep us tied
Uh-uh-uh, Uh-uh-uh
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I’m gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I’m
Stuck on you
I’m gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I’m
Stuck on you
I’m gonna stick like glue
Yeah, yeah, because I’m
Stuck on you
