Harum Scarum Songwriting Credits by Elvis Presley

"Harum Scarum" is the 1965 soundtrack album by Elvis Presley, recorded for the film of the same name and blending pop and rock and roll. RCA Victor released it on November 3, 1965, with production by Gene Nelson and Fred Karger and backing from musicians including Scotty Moore, Floyd Cramer, Charlie McCoy, D.J. Fontana, and The Jordanaires. The track list runs to Middle Eastern themed numbers such as "Harem Holiday," "Go East - Young Man," and "Shake That Tambourine." The album reached number 8 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart, though no singles were issued alongside it. The film and soundtrack are widely regarded as one of the lowest points of Presley's career, and the follow-up single climbed only to number 33 on the Hot 100, his lowest charting single up to that time.
