Wooden Heart


"Wooden Heart" by Elvis Presley is performed in the key of A major. Originally a German folk song titled "Muss i denn," it was adapted into English by Fred Wise, Ben Weisman, Kay Twomey, and Bert Kaempfert. Elvis Presley recorded the song for his film "G.I. Blues" in 1960, where he played a soldier stationed in Germany. The song's catchy melody and upbeat rhythm, featuring a blend of folk and pop elements, contributed to its success. "Wooden Heart" reached the top of the charts in several countries and became one of Elvis Presley's signature songs.
