"Clambake" has the two Jerry Reed tracks, "Guitar Man"
and "Big Boss Man," and also the brilliant title track, "Clambake!" But
on "Spinout," Elvis covers Dylan's "Tomorrow Is A Long Time," as well as the slinky and groovy "Down In The Alley. Plus, there is of course, "Smorgasboard,"
with the immortal line, "I'll take the dish I please and please the dish
I take." I think you need both, just for the covers and the hair.

The correct answer, Sal, is YES.
Clambake's off beat finger snaps/hand-claps drive me up the wall!
But I've never been to a Clambake, personally (were/are those really a thing?, so maybe I wouldn't notice if I was drunk enough...
It was hard to take Elvis seriously after watching his '60s movies- or part of them, I don't think I ever finished one, but the great music was always there to pull me back. Thank God for comps, or else I'd never have the best songs from the soundtracks.
