Introduction:
“We’re Comin’ In Loaded” is a song by Elvis Presley, recorded on March 26, 1962, at Radio Recorders in Hollywood. The track was written by prolific songwriters Otis Blackwell and Winfield Scott, known for their contributions to several of Elvis’ hits. This song was part of the soundtrack for the 1962 movie Girls! Girls! Girls!, a musical comedy in which Presley starred. The film was released in November 1962, and the soundtrack contributed to the film’s lively, seafaring theme.
Musically, “We’re Comin’ In Loaded” is a fast-paced, upbeat rockabilly number. It captures the feeling of excitement as a group of fishermen return home after a successful trip, with Elvis energetically singing about how their boat is “packed to the waterline” with fish. The song’s lively rhythm and playful lyrics make it a quintessential example of the upbeat and fun-loving music Elvis produced during this period.
Though it wasn’t a major hit, the song was well-received as part of the movie’s soundtrack. It showcases Elvis’s versatility in delivering lighthearted, joyful tracks as well as the more intense and emotional numbers for which he was also known. Over time, “We’re Comin’ In Loaded” has remained a notable piece from Girls! Girls! Girls! and a beloved song among fans of Elvis’s movie soundtracks.

Lyrics:
“We’re Comin’ In Loaded”
(from “Girls! Girls! Girls!” soundtrack)Ooh yes we’re comin’ in loaded, Ooh yes we’re comin’ in loaded
I’ll hold the boat steady brother like a rock
Full speed a head until we hit the dock
We’re heading for home, the fishing was great
We’re comin’ in loaded ’cause we’re all out of bait
Well, well, well, well, well
Oh well now yeah!We gottem packed to the water-line
Some got away but the catch was fine
Never saw such big ones, m’man oh man,
We’re comin’ in loaded just as fast as we can
Well, well, well, well, well
Oh well now yeah!I’m gonna see my baby soon as I get back
Knock on the door with my pockets packed
She’ll look at me well she can’t say no
We’re comin’ in loaded so come on let’s go
Well, well, well, well, well
Oh well now yeah!
Oh well now yeah!
Yeah! we’re comin’ in loaded
