Good Luck Charm (Remember Elvis), Elvis Presley - Qobuz

About The Song

Settle in, settle in, friends. Let’s take a trip back to a time of bobby socks and blue suede shoes, where the king himself, Elvis Presley, crooned his way into our hearts. Today, we’re dusting off a gem from 1962, a little ditty called “Good Luck Charm”.

Now, you might remember this one from the radio, spinning between Frankie Avalon and The Supremes. It was a chart-topper, you see, climbing its way to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and staying there for two whole weeks. No surprise, really, with its infectious rhythm and Elvis’s smooth, playful delivery.

But “Good Luck Charm” is more than just a catchy tune. It’s a love song, sure, but not your typical sappy serenade. This is Elvis, after all, and his charm lies in the way he flips the script. Forget four-leaf clovers and rabbit’s feet, he declares. The only good luck charm he needs is right there beside him, his sweet delight, his little lady.

Can you hear him now, that playful glint in his voice as he sings, “Come on and be my little good luck charm, uh-huh huh, you sweet delight. I want a good luck charm, a-hangin’ on my arm.” It’s not about superstition, you see. It’s about the way her presence brings him sunshine, the way her smile chases away his worries. She’s his lucky penny, his lucky star, all wrapped up in one beautiful package.

And that’s the magic of “Good Luck Charm”. It’s not just a love song, it’s a celebration of life, of finding joy in the simple things, like having someone special by your side. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best luck we have is the love we share, the laughter we create, the moments we cherish with those who make our hearts sing.

So, put on your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let Elvis whisk you back to a time when love was king and a good luck charm was all you needed to make your day. Remember, friends, the real magic isn’t in trinkets or traditions, but in the people who hold our hearts and make us feel like we can conquer anything. And that, my dears, is a “Good Luck Charm” worth holding on to.

Now, let the music play!

Lyric

“Good Luck Charm”

Don’t want a four leaf clover
Don’t want an old horse shoe
Want your kiss ’cause I just can’t miss
With a good luck charm like youCome on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

Don’t want a silver dollar
Rabbit’s foot on a string
The happiness in your warm caress
No rabbit’s foot can bring

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight

If I found a lucky penny
I’d toss it across the bay
Your love is worth all the gold on earth
No wonder that I say

Come on and be my little good luck charm
Uh-huh huh, you sweet delight
I want a good luck charm
a-hanging on my arm
To have, to have, to hold, to hold tonight
