"In the Ghetto" was recorded during Elvis' International Session in Memphis , Tennessee . It was Elvis' first creative recording session since the '68 Comeback , and the songs recorded here probably owed some of their financial success to that. Other hits recorded at this session were " Suspicious Minds ", " Kentucky Rain ", and " Don't Cry Daddy ". There were initial fears that the song would damage Elvis' reputation for being politically biased, but Elvis loved the song and recorded it. Elvis claimed after finally achieving a master take that from then on, he would only do songs that he believed in. COVERS AND PARODIES The song has been covered by many artists, including . The song has been humorously sung on the television show South Park by main character Cartman a total of three times on three different episodes. "In a Yugo " by Paul Shanklin is a parody of the song. |
