“Jailhouse Rock” is a song about anal prison rape
My wife and I were having dinner at a local 50′s style diner when someone flipped a quarter in the jukebox and cued up this old Elvis standard. So the warden threw a party in the county jail, eh? I’m wondering who would have attended such an event. Most jails are secure facilities and are not co-ed. So where would the assumed females have come from?
Can’t see a group of teen girls being brought into a prison for a “sock-hop”; it’d be like chucking chum to sharks. So the image of prisoners innocently cavorting with a group of local girls doesn’t seem realistic. It’s much more likely that everyone in the jail is a guy, which means the song is obviously a tribute to the oldest and most infamous aspect of prison life: anal rape.
Number 47 said to Number 3
You’re the cutest jailbird I ever did see
I sure would be delighted with your company
Come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me
It’s obvious that Number 47 is attracted to Number 3 and would like to take him somewhere for some quality time. “Quality time” being a raw rectal rooting of the most sordid and lascivious nature. Taken in this context, the term “jailhouse rock” seems to be slang for the act of homosexual love.
I wonder if Elvis ever thought about this as he sang it? It certainly makes it more amusing when you see the baby boomers jiving to it at weddings.
Elvis assumes the "mounting" position
