Product Info Limited LP : Green Vinyl More Info The last film Elvis made prior to the outbreak of Beatlemania, Fun in Acapulco is redolent of the silly, carefree days of the early '60s -- a time when rock & roll appeared to be in remission. Conceptually, Fun in Acapulco, a kissing cousin to Blue Hawaii, is a frolic set in a sunny, exotic location and has a soundtrack to match. Every song has a south of the border feel, either in its rhythms or mock Spanish, a tactic that makes sense in the confines of the film, particularly on the cartoonish "Guadalajara," where mariachi and opera meet, "(There's) No Room to Rhumba in a Sports Car," and "The Bullfighter Was a Lady". This is further evidenced by the woozy title track, "Mexico," "Marguerita," and "Bossa Nova Baby," which in this context seems to rock pretty hard. Despite all this, the clear standout here is "Slowly But Surely," a bit of hip-swiveling seduction positively drenched in fuzz guitar, the first time such an effect was heard on a Presley record.
