Soundtrack

The soundtrack of Tickle Me is often cited as evidence of how Presley's films became assembly-line, low-budget affairs by the mid-1960s. The budget for the film did not allow for the commissioning of original songs, so instead the soundtrack was created from previously released non-film recordings, some dating back to 1960, and including songs with guitar work by Hank Garland whose career had ended in 1961 following an automobile accident. To coincide with the movie's debut, an EP Record was brought out containing five of the nine songs from the soundtrack. (In Europe, a full album was released).

Due to the piecemeal nature of the soundtrack, this is one of only a few Elvis films that does not have a title track.
