Always great: a song written for Elvis Presley by Mac Davis (!) and Billy Strange for the 1968 film Live a Little, Love a Little and one that memorably found new life in the 2001 film Ocean's Eleven.
The song was eventually remixed tremendously well by Junkie XL (aka Tom Holkenborg, the guy in the red shirt at the mixing boards) for a Nike commercial. This version, credited to "Elvis vs. JXL," went on to become an even bigger hit than it was in Elvis' day.
It makes for a great video too. Love the great Laugh-In style set - and the scenes with the two gospel singers, the preacher and the two male dancers. Lyrics here, for those who - like me - are captivated by this song and its great remix:
A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite, a little less bark
A little less fight, a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby
Baby close your eyes and listen to the music
Drifting through a summer breeze
Its a groovy night and I can show you how to use it
Come along with me and put your mind at ease
A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite, a little less bark
A little less fight, a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me baby
Come on baby Im tired of talking
Grab your coat and lets start walking
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Come on, come on
Don't procrastinate, don't articulate
Girl it's getting late, gettin upset waitin around
A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite, a little less bark
A little less fight, a little more spark
Close your mouth and open up your heart and baby satisfy me
Satisfy me
