Doin' The Best I Can - unusual, unique?

[John]

So what's unusual about this soundtrack song, or possibly unique?

OK, it's not unique as I've found some other songs it applies to, but it's still unusual I reckon.

I don't know what's unusual or unique about the song, but it's by far my favourite track on the "G. I. Blues" album.

It was one of the first Pomus / Shuman songs ever recorded by Elvis, and one of the best too. The climax of that artistic link between Elvis and this great songwriting duo was the 1961 single "(Marie's The Name) His Latest Flame" / "Little Sister", both songs being written by them. Lots of fans consider this release as the very best Elvis single of the 60s, and one of the best of his whole career, which is saying a lot.

It's no longer unique, but it is unusual.
You can now add Bossa Nova Baby, Marguerita and You Can't Say No In Acapulco. There will be others, I'm sure.

I think it's an extended version.

The script called for his rendition to be interrupted by the guy playing the jukebox.

But, as it was possibly the best song in the whole darn piece, they didn't want to 'lose' any of it, so extended the song.

No. I've mentioned a few other songs and the same applies to them.

[John]

Add Almost Always True (parts), Aloha Oe, Can't Help Falling In Love, Hawaiian Sunset, Beach Boy Blues, Wheels On My Heels, It's A Wonderful World, Carny Town. There may be more but this is enough for now.

I was wrong.

The film version gets interrupted at 2:10 but the studio master runs to 3:10.

I'm at a loss now !

Perhaps they use the studio master, instead of a special 'soundtrack version' ?

As I said, this applies to all of the songs I've mentioned.....

Time for a clue.

Are we looking for something visual or on the soundtrack ?
