Mystery Train

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Mystery Train" was a 1955 single recorded at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee by Elvis Presley, his first #1 single in any of the Billboard charts, reaching #1 in the Country music chart.

Mystery Train was originally recorded for Sun Records by Little Junior's Blue Flames in 1953.

The song has lent its name to several other works:

In early December of 2005, the US Army initiated a probe on a video which first appeared on the Internet showing contractors in Iraq firing at civilians while Elvis' Mystery Train is being played in the background. The video purports to show the firing of automatic rifles shooting into traffic, causing civilian vehicles to swerve and crash on the dusty West Baghdad roads.
