I Forgot to Remember to Forget

"I Forgot to Remember to Forget" is a 1955 country and rockabilly song, first recorded by Elvis Presley and written by Stan Kesler and Charlie Feathers.

[2][3] It was first re-released along with "Mystery Train" by HMV in New Zealand in November 1955, the first appearance of Elvis Presley on 12” vinyl internationally (MCLP 6001).

The flip side of this release, "Mystery Train", peaked at the #11 position on the national Billboard Country Chart.

[12] The Beatles covered this song once for the BBC radio show, From Us To You, on 1 May 1964, with George Harrison on lead vocals.

The band was becoming more experimental at the time; after they recorded "I Call Your Name", they used that song's ska-influenced middle section again for "I Forgot to Remember to Forget".

Bob Dylan and The Band recorded this song in 1967; it was released on the 2014 album, The Bootleg Series Vol.
