Elvis Presley - Doin The Best I Can --------------------------------------------- 1960 Not surprisingly, Elvis' fifth film, his first after serving two years of active duty in the U.S. Army, was entitled 'G.I. Blues' and was set in Germany. Elvis was discharged from active duty with the army in early March 1960 and began preproduction work for 'G.I. Blues' in California on April 21. Filming began on May 2nd and was finished by June 29th. While Elvis was stationed in Germany, Producer Hal Wallis had visited with him in August of 1959. Wallis was there while the German countryside and U.S. military operations were shot for the film. Elvis did not appear in any of this filming, however, the U.S. Army did supply tanks and crews for these shots. In G.I. Blues, his first musical comedy, Elvis Presley stars as Tulsa MacLean, an Army sergeant stationed in West Germany. Tulsa and his buddies hope to make enough money to open a small nightclub upon their return to civilian life. At the urging of his pals, Tulsa accepts a bet with a group of G.I.s to win the heart of Lili, a beautiful cabaret dancer at the Cafe Europa. Lili, played by dancer Juliet Prowse, has a reputation for resisting soldiers, so Tulsa's finesse with females is required to break through her cool exterior. Just as Tulsa realizes that he is in love with Lili, she finds out that she has been the target of a wager. Lili manages to overcome her anger to help Tulsa out during a troublesome night of babysitting for a friend's infant son. At a rehearsal for an Armed Forces show, Lili discovers that Tulsa has called off the bet, proving he truly loves her. ------------------------------------------ Lyrics: I gave my heart I gave my love Oh ho, my darling I am true Doin' the best The best I can But it's not good enough for you I tried so hard So hard to please Oh ho, my darling What more can I do Doin' the best The best I can But it's not good enough for you You know I was the kind who'd run Any time you'd call I guess I was the only one Who didn't mind at all I'll be a dreamer I'll be a fool Oh ho, my darling My whole life through Doin' the best The best I can But it's not good enough for you You know I was the kind who'd run Any time you'd call I guess I was the only one Who didn't mind at all I'll be a dreamer I'll be a fool Oh ho, my darling My whole life through Doin' the best The best I can But it's not good enough for you But it's not good enough for you
