Slightly different words, but still no idea what a "hound" really is:

Elvis - "They said you were high class but that was just a lie... you ain't nothing but a hound dog."

Big Mama Thornton - "They though you were high class but I can see through that... you ain't nothing but a hound dog."

If they knew what the word actually meant - "You really are high class....that's why they call you a hound dog."
