A Big Hunk O' Love

About A Big Hunk O' Love

"A Big Hunk o' Love" is a song recorded by Elvis Presley and released as a single on June 23, 1959 by RCA Victor, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks. The song was revived by Presley in 1972 during his engagements at the Las Vegas Hilton in February 1972 and was used in his live shows until mid-1973. It was performed live for the last time on January 26, 1974. The song is included in the 1972 documentary Elvis On Tour and his 1973 show broadcast via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii. During this time period, it was played by the Elvis' TCB Band, and featured Glen D. Hardin and James Burton. The song was written by Aaron Schroeder and Sidney Wyche, under the name Sid Jaxon and published by Elvis Presley's company Gladys Music, Inc. Aaron Schroeder (along with Wally Gold), also wrote "It's Now or Never" and "Good Luck Charm", both of which, like "A Big Hunk o' Love", were originally recorded by American rock and roll icon Elvis Presley. Syd Wyche is best known for writing the jazz standard "Alright, Okay, You Win", whereas Aaron Schroeder co-wrote many hits in the rock`n`roll area, from "Fools Hall of Fame" (Pat Boone) to "Because They're Young" (Duane Eddy). In an interview conducted by Jan-Erik Kjeseth, he also revealed that in fact he worked with his partner Wally Gold in order to improve a song submitted by another writer, and the end result was "It's My Party", a big hit for Lesley Gore. Schroeder and Gold tossed a coin as to whose name should go on the record, and Gold "won".  more »

Hey baby, I ain't askin' much of you
No no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do

Don't be a stingy little mama
You're 'bout to starve me half to death
Now you can spare a kiss or two
And still have plenty left

Oh no no baby
I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
That's right

You're just a natural born beehive
Filled with honey to the top
But I ain't greedy baby
All I want is all you got

Oh no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
That's right

I got a wishbone in my pocket
I got a rabbit foot around my wrist
I'd have all of the things my lucky charms could bring
If you give me just a one sweet kiss

Oh no no no no no no no no
Baby, I ain't askin' much of you
Just a big a hunk o' hunk o' hunk o' love will do
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
Just a big a big a big a hunk o' love will do
