"hound dog"!

Du bist nichts als ein gejagter Hund

Und es heisst übrigens nicht "barking all the time" sondern "cryin' all the time"

hound dog

Danke @ Flitze,
darauf war ich noch nicht gekommen,
dass es ein Verb sein könnte.
Gruss

Flitze: That unfortunately incorrect. A hound dog is just a dog, NOT a hounded dog, widespread usage in the south, often used for hunting. The image of a hound dog is often a sad-looking Bassett hound, thus hound dog.
As far as the cryin' all the time, maybe that means telling hairy dog stories, ie. tall tales, because the dog has never in fact caught a rabbit. I will leave that part up to Elvis fans to interpret.

Originally the concept was a Woman's song singing 'You can wag your tail but I ain't gonna feed you no more'. A song all about a woman throwing a gigolo out of her house!.
Willie Mae 'Big Mama' Thornton(a Duke/Peacock artist) first recorded Hound Dog (by Leiber & Stoller) in 1952 selling half a Million copies! Leiber & Stoller specifically wrote Hound Dog for her - which she received via Johnny Otis.

'Big' Mama Thortons version (Original Lyrics):

You Ain't nothin' but a Hound Dog
Quit Snooping round my door
You Ain't nothin' but a Hound Dog
Quit Snooping round my door
You can Wag your Tail (use your imagination)
But I ain't gonna feed you no more

Men = dog ;-) ( person regarded as contemptible, wicked)

But before Presley could record "Hound Dog," it had to be cleaned up and sanitized for a white audience. Originally, Big Mama Thornton sang:

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Just snooping round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't feeding you no more.

African-American Blues audiences of the '50s had no problem with such unashamed and enthusiastic sexual references in the lyrics; they relied on cleverness and innuendo, which were more designed to provoke humor than titillation, and rarely seem offensive or smutty....
I remember hearing the song when it was originally released in the '50s, and wondering what the hell Presley was talking about. I still don't know.


When Presley finally got around to singing "Hound Dog" to white audiences, all meaning was drained from the words:

You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Crying all the time
You never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.

Im Fall vom Lied von Elvis steht "hound dog" als Slang für Weiberheld.
