Elvis Presley recorded {Let Me Be Your} Teddy Bear for his second movie, Loving You, in 1957. He performs the song on screen.
The song was written by Kal Mann and Bernie Lowe and published in 1957. More than likely the duo wrote the song for the movie.
The song became a huge hit for Elvis and stayed #1 on the charts for seven weeks.
Other performers to record the song include Pat Boone, Tanya Tucker, and ZZ Top.
The creators of the snack Teddy Grahams used a modified version of the song for their commercials.
In the 1980s, the family comedy Full House featured the three main adult characters singing the song to baby Michelle Tanner as a lullaby.
