tossing back and forth on a bed (provided by Sonny on stage),
 while singing What Now My Love. He even mentioned that he was treated poorly by the Hotel.
At the end of the show he tried to make up for this by stating:
" I know we kid a lot and have fun and everything, but we really love to sing,
play music and entertain people. As long as I can do that, I'll be a happy old sonofabitch."
The Colonel was not pleased at all, by Elvis' behaviour and they even got into a public
