Think of the 1964 classic Viva Las Vegas, and images of fast cars and fun musical numbers probably jump into your head. But what really put the movie on the Hollywood map was the chemistry between the main characters, played by none other than Elvis Presley and Ann-Margret.

But if you think you've already seen their most magical on-screen moments, think again. The stars actually recorded and filmed a beautiful duet titled "Today, Tomorrow, and Forever" that ended up being removed from the final version of the film, according to Country Music Nation. After watching the deleted scene, below, it's hard to understand why this romantic ballad didn't make the cut!

It starts with Lucky Jackson, played by Elvis, sitting at the piano. As he begins to sing, we slowly see the stunning Rusty Martin, Ann-Margret's character, come through the door and lock eyes with him. She starts walking towards Elvis, and as their sultry voices join together in song, we see scenes of the couple dancing, biking, waterskiing, and of course, dancing. They end up on the floor, laughing. Does it get any more perfect?!

The name of the song, "Today, Tomorrow, and Forever," actually became the title of a 2002 compilation album of Elvis's music. Available as a four CD set, as well as MP3 and streaming formats, the album features well-known and unreleased music from every phase of the musician's career, including this iconic duet.
