Jailhouse Rock

I'm a pretty big Elvis fan. One day while listening to the song Jailhouse Rock, I realized that song is about prison rape. The song starts out with "Warden threw a part at the county jail." Since when does the warden have parties? Elvis continues to tell everyone "lets rock", throughout the song. The line that really convinced me of the songs meaning was this, "number 47 said to number 3 'you're the cutest jailbird I ever did see. I sure would be delighted with your company. Come and do the Jailhouse Rock with me' ." This conversation is going on between two men. There is also a part in the song where the warden tells one inmate to quit crying and dance with someone. If he can't find someone to dance with then he should dance with a chair. This warden needs to be entertained.
