Elvis Presley's musical icon Fredie Bell has died of cancer. He was 76.

fredie we will miss you..

Did Elvis really cover, "Giddy Up A Ding Dong"?
That doesn't sound correct. I absolutely don't recognize the title and I thought I knew most songs Elvis has covered.

RIP Freddie Bell

LOL...whover sang it, I can't imagine the lyrics. That title has me giggling...still love Elvis of course if by some small chance he did sing it; lol..but...that's just struck my funny bone today.:)

I guess I could be cleaning or doing just about anything other than search for the lyrics for that song, I was just courious. here they are...
I can't imagine Elvis singing this either.

I went ridin' the other night
Two colour horse, oh my what a sight!
The name of my horse was Ding Dong
While we was ridin' and singin' a song

Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong (repeat)

We rode and we rode the whole night through
My horse was tired, I was too
I had a date with ma girl at eight
Come on Ding Dong we can't be late

I said
Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong (repeat)

Got to her house and I got down
There was the toughest guy in town
If I went in, he might use force
Mounted up again and I said to my horse

Giddy up, giddy up a Ding Dong (repeat)

Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh You got to giddy up a Ding dong, etc
:) LOL

i read this though, and it does imply (or say) that he 'covered' both hound dog and this other song. so I don't know but like both of you say I have never heard this song by Elvis?

Freddie Bell, a forerunner in the 1950s rock 'n' roll era whose toe-tapping versions of "Giddy Up A Ding Dong" and "Hound Dog" inspired Elvis Presley to cover the songs, has died. He was 76. Bell died late Sunday in a Las Vegas hospital of complications from cancer, said his publicist Norm Johnson. Bell was performing at the Sands casino-hotel on the Las Vegas Strip in the mid-1950s when Presley was just an opening act across the street at the New Frontier. Bell's upbeat covers, and perhaps his knee-wiggling dance moves, inspired Presley, Johnson said. "He loved Freddie's version," Johnson said. "He added new words and a better beat." Bell went to Las Vegas in 1953 from his hometown of Philadelphia and was considered one of the great lounge acts of the time, alongside the trio of Sam Butera, Louis Prima and Keely Smith, Johnson said. He was good friends with some of the most popular performers of the era. "They remained friends throughout Elvis' lifetime," Johnson said. "Freddie was very, very close to Frank Sinatra. That was one of his compadres. Whenever they were in any town performing, Frank would show up, or Freddie would go to see him." Bell also appeared in a number of films, including 1956's "Rock Around the Clock," starring Bill Haley. Bell is survived by wife Angela Bell and children Freddie Bell, Jr., Angela Bello, Marianna, Andrew, Lisa, Debbie and stepson Jonathan.

Elvis never covered Giddy Up A Ding Dong that my record collection shows and I have every song released by RCA/BMG. If he did cover it it has never seen the light of day on bootleg or official release.
