Touchstone) in 1929….and later recorded by The Shelton Brothers in 1933…..as the song has since been recorded numerous times by various artists including Elvis Presley….who included it on his very first album titled “Elvis Presley”. The original recording was by Nelstone’s Hawaiians, comprising Hubert Nelson and James D. Touchstone….while the song’s main verse is one of our all time favorites here at ImaSportsphile…..as it goes like this…..Just because you think you’re so pretty, just because you think you’re so hot….just because you think you’ve got something, that nobody else has got…..just because you spend all my money, and you call me ole Santa Claus…..I’m telling you that baby we’re throught, just because because.”
