Elvira was performed by The Oak Ridge Boys and was released as a single in 1981. The song was written by Dallas Frazier and became the band's signature song and their biggest hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

The lyrics also contain humorous wordplay and double entendres, such as "My heart's on fire, Elvira" and "Giddy up oom poppa oom poppa mow mow."
Musically, "Elvira" is an up-tempo country song with a strong southern gospel influence. The track features four-part harmonies from The Oak Ridge Boys and is driven by a prominent bass line.
