"Elvis on Velvet" was the first single off Choo Choo Hot Fish, the Stray Cats' seventh album, in 1992, with the writing credit going to Monty Byrom, Tom Kimmel and David Neuhauser. Dave Edmunds produced, and that was a homecoming: the band had started the album with Nile Rodgers, then went back to Edmunds to get their usual sound on tape.
The record took its odd name from a soul food fish joint, long since torn down, that stood at Market and Main in Chattanooga, Tennessee, near today's Chattanooga Choo-Choo Hotel, and the rockabilly band carried it on a tour across North America.
