There are estimated to be over 50,000 people in the world who make a living as Elvis impersonators. In the Islamic state of Mogadishu in Somalia it is illegal to impersonate Elvis without a beard.

[CureMe]

and

In Switzerland, it is illegal to mow your front lawn while you're dressed as Elvis.

What? why the hell not?! That is one of those laws that noone would ever really want to do, until they make a law about it and then a bunch of people would do it out of principle

[CureMe]

yeah i know.... it kind of makes me want to go there and do it just for the hell of it.

In the 1970's his kitchen was manned 24 hours a day and became busiest around 4.30am. As Elvis was usually off his face on barbiturates and tranquilizers, he would often fall unconscious while eating. His aides frequently had to reach into his throat to remove food and stop him choking to death.

If only his minions could have removed the matter from his ass maybe he'd still be alive today

mine too one of my favourite songs of all time is after the fall

In an anonymous rendezvous
Where the forbidden lovers repair
They're burning down another damn candle
They're melting the tables and chairs
Beneath them applause from the balcony
whenever they accomplished making love
Other times they thought they heard laughter
Coming from the balcony above

[Chorus:]
She lies to his right and she carelessly recites
All of her brand new appetites
She seems brittle and small, it don't sound like her at all
Since she came back to him after the fall

She said "You never visit the countryside"
"So I've made you a country to order"
She put up a little tent in the bedroom
Crickets played on a tape-recorder
The ceiling was festooned with phosphorous stars
She noticed his skin turning cold
Burning all his clothes on the bonfire
"Relax" she whispered and tightened the blindfold

[Chorus]

You've changed but not for the better babe
I'd tell you why but what's the use
'Cos it's the same kind of pity
A drunkard gives as his excuse
You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin
Now your eyes are deserted and quiet
We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
Thrown through the window in the riot

She lies in his arms and without any qualms
Revels in shallow delights
She seems brittle and small, it don't sound like her at all
Since she came back to him after the fall

[CureMe]

and then the original Elvis
lyrics by Carl Perkins

Well, its one for the money,
Two for the show,
Three to get ready,
Now go, cat, go.

But dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

Well, you can knock me down,
Step in my face,
Slander my name
All over the place.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

You can burn my house,
Steal my car,
Drink my liquor
From an old fruitjar.

Do anything that you want to do, but uh-uh,
Honey, lay off of my shoes
Dont you step on my blue suede shoes.
You can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes.

To the part where everybody loves to cry
(chorus)
Indoor fireworks
Can still burn your fingers
Indoor fireworks
We swore we were safe as houses
They're not so spectacular
They don't burn up in the sky
But they can dazzle or delight
Or bring a tear
When the smoke gets in your eyes
You were the spice of life
The gin in my vermouth
And though the sparks would fly
I thought our love was fireproof
Sometimes we'd fight in public darling
With very little cause
But different kinds of sparks would fly
When we got on our own behind closed doors
(chorus)
It's time to tell the truth
These things have to be faced
My fuse is burning out
And all that powder's gone to waste
Don't think for a moment dear that we'll ever be through
I'll build a bonfire of my dreams
And burn a broken effigy of me and you
(chorus)

1 - Im not really in to guys
2 - Im not really in to gingers...especially when they are guys
3 - Im pretty sure that that sorta shit is illegal in Vegas
4 - I was holding out for a hot cocktail waitress or stripper

If you're even just a little curious about Elvis you have to read Peter Guralnick's two volume bio of Elvis - it's an amazing book. The first volume covers everything up to when he joined the army; the second volume looks at the Vegas years and his decline.

[huck]

The good Elvis (if only occasionally potty mouthed and racially slurring)


All other Elvis' are evil and boring.

[mooney88]

Elvis was a hero to most
But he never meant shit to me you see
Straight up racist that sucker was
Simple and plain
Motherfuck him and John Wayne
Cause I'm Black and I'm proud

[Super Browny]

Word Chuck...

[CureMe]
