Young Forrest Gump and Mrs Gump were out shopping, and walked right by Benson's furniture and appliance store. They came across a TV set playing Elvis Presley "Hound Dog" song:
Mrs Gump: This is not for children's eyes.
Why did Mrs Gump feel that Elvis Presley's Hound Dog was inappropriate for children?
Some people thought it was too 'sexually explicit' at the time.
From Graceland…
Today marks the day Elvis famously performed "Hound Dog" on "The Milton Berle Show" and stirred up quite a frenzy. On June 5, 1956, Elvis set his guitar to the side and performed what came to be known as one of the most controversial performances in television history. The provocative hip-swinging dance moves caused a national scandal and set the stage for the King of Rock 'n' Roll's place in history.
His performance of "Hound Dog" drove the kids in the audience wild and disgusted the press and some of the adult viewers. His sexy moves and black-influenced sound was condemned by certain factions of the “morally concerned” establishment and the religious community, but his seemingly unstoppable popularity continued to grow to new heights.
