[4] Excluding the singles compilation Elvis' Golden Records Volume 3, this was the sixth original Presley album in a row that was a soundtrack to a feature film.

[7] RCA finally released a corrected (though outtake) version of the title track in its 1991 compilation Collectors Gold from the Movie Years.

"Do the Clam" was released approximately a month ahead of the album as a single, peaking at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remaining on the chart for eight weeks.

[8] Its B-side – an unused track called "You'll Be Gone", written by Presley with "Memphis Mafia" entourage members Red West and Charlie Hodge[9] – was derived from the March 18, 1962 sessions for Pot Luck with Elvis.

[11] In 2003 Girl Happy was reissued on the Follow That Dream label in a special edition that contained the original album tracks along with numerous alternate takes.
