## Resource

There's an old saying that when life hands you lemons, make lemonade - Bec, Ryan and Olivia challenge themselves to make the most out of the weakest films in Elvis' cinematic canon, spotlighting their favorite and most redeeming musical performances from their least favorite Elvis movies. For Song of the Week, Olivia deep-dives the fascinating history of what, for Elvis, was a throwaway goof during the making of That's The Way It Is, as "Froggy Went A-Courtin'" evolved from cutting political satire to folk tradition and finally to children's song. Then, Ryan celebrates the songwriting strengths of Elvis's buddy Red West, picking "If You Think I Don't Need You" from the soundtrack of 1964's iconic "Viva Las Vegas."
