About The Song
“Relax” was recorded by Elvis in September 1962 at Radio Recorders for his film “It Happened at the World’s Fair.” The composers of the song are Sid Tepper and Roy C. Bennett.
“It Happened at the World’s Fair” is a 1963 American musical film that features Elvis Presley as a crop-dusting pilot. The filming took place in Seattle, Washington, the site of the Century 21 Exposition. The governor of Washington at the time, Albert Rosellini, proposed the setting to Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer executives. The film generated $2.25 million at the box office and marked Kurt Russell’s film debut.
Elvis’ twelfth movie, “It Happened at the World’s Fair,” was released on April 3, 1963, marking its 60th anniversary this year. The musical comedy revolves around Mike (Elvis) and Danny (Gary Lockwood), crop duster pilots who journey to the World’s Fair in Seattle to settle Danny’s gambling debts and reclaim their plane from the local sheriff. Along the way, Danny engages in poker to earn quick cash, while Mike pursues a romance with a nurse named Diane (Joan O’Brien) and takes care of a little girl, Sue-Lin (Vicky Tiu), whose uncle has vanished. “It Happened at the World’s Fair” was directed by Norman Taurog.
Actress Joan O’Brien shared the screen with many of Hollywood’s leading men, including Elvis, Cary Grant, Jerry Lewis, and John Wayne.

Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Relax, kick your shoes off baby
Relax, here we are alone
Relax, if the phone rings, let it
Just forget it, we’re not at home
Let loose, let your hair down honey
Unwind, turn the lights down low
Relax, let’s uncork the stopper
Come to papa, come on let’s go
Defrost your charms
There’s only the two of us here
Come in my arms
And make yourself comfortable dear
Relax, let’s get cozy baby
Come on, let your concrete crack
Cut loose, when love knock’s invited
Don’t you fight it, come on relax
Defrost your charms
There’s only the two of us here
Come in my arms
And make yourself comfortable dear
Relax, let’s get cozy baby
Come on, huh, even concrete cracks
Cut loose, life is worth the livin’
When you’re givin’, come on relax
Relax
Mmm
Let loose
Mmm
Defrost
Mmm, mmm
