"Animal Instinct" (1965)

Written by Bill Giant, Bernie Baum and Florence Kaye, "Animal Instinct" was recorded by Elvis Presley between February 24-26, 1965 at RCA’s Studio B in Nashville. The song is part of the MGM’s film "Harum Scarum" soundtrack. The movie was released on November 24, 1965 in the US.

It's said there's an actual scene in which Elvis performs this song in the movie, but it was left out from the final cut.
