Happy Birthday Elvis

Elvis

Jailhouse Rock and Blue Suede Shoes,
Made his leg start shaking.
Parents freaked about by his style,
Teenagers were quaking.
Elvis was indeed the King,
Of good old Rock n Roll.
Others followed in his wake,
But fame sure had its toll.
He died too young as many do,
The legend still lives on.
He isn’t dead as many think,
He called me on the phone.
Happy Birthday I exclaimed,
He said, “Thank you much.”
I asked where the heck he’d been,
He said he’d stay in touch.
He wouldn’t tell me where he was,
I said I understand.
He really needs his privacy,
Cause he is still the man.
Happy Birthday Elvis P,
Sixty Nine today.
He said he’d drop by later on,
But keep it quiet OK?

Celebrating Elvis' life - 25th anniversary of
the King's death is mostly parties, parades

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/734172/posts

Excerpt:

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Death anniversaries tend to be somber affairs, as we remember those we loved and admired.

There's no parade in Dallas on Nov. 22. Ceremonies in New York on the day John Lennon was killed, or here in Memphis on the anniversary of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination, are tearful and melancholy.

In the land of Elvis, things are different.

"Sure, it's sad that he's gone," says Fred Chamberlain, a 39-year-old fan. "But we're treating this as a happy occasion. As time goes on, we look at it differently. This is a way of projecting all the happiness he left for us."

Mr. Chamberlain seems to be a good representative of the tens of thousands of people packed into Memphis this week to mark the 25th anniversary of Elvis Presley's death on Aug. 16, 1977. He's come a long way (from London) at considerable personal sacrifice (he's a school caretaker of modest income) and has gone to lengths that probably seem excessive to nonbelievers (a big Elvis tattoo has adorned his arm since age 16).

20 years after his death, Elvis is King of the Web

From CNN Interactive Writer Andy Walton

Elvis has left the building for good, but twenty years after his death, The King is alive and well on the World Wide Web.

If you've ever had a hankerin' -- and, let's face it, who hasn't? -- to climb into a white satin jumpsuit, scarf a couple of fried banana sandwiches, and try a few karate kicks, the Web might provide just the right outlet. One that won't worry your friends and neighbors quite so much, at least.

BTW, do you think Saddam knows where Elvis is in hiding?

[martin_fierro]

Just damn.

Nope. But Osama has told Lazamataz where Jimmy Hoffa is.

Beer gut Blues

Woke up this morning,
Got out of bed.
Looked in the mirror,
To see my head.
Felt like a road kill,
I had the blues.
My gut's done got so damn big
That I can't see my shoes.

Elvis Presley, 1957

[LisaMalia]

Happy Birthday, E!
Still love you as much today as the first time I heard your beautiful voice all those years ago!

Here's my favorite Elvis song lyrics:

Trouble
If you're looking for trouble
You came to the right place
If you're looking for trouble
Just look right in my face
I was born standing up
And talking back
My daddy was a green-eyed mountain jack
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I've never looked for trouble
But I've never ran
I don't take no orders
From no kind of man
I'm only made out
Of flesh, blood and bone
But if you're gonna start a rumble
Don't you try it on alone
Because I'm evil, my middle name is misery
Well I'm evil, so don't you mess around with me
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
I'm evil, evil, evil, as can be
So don't mess around don't mess around don't mess around with me
Yeah!

IN memory of the King

Elvis Imitators by Jimmy Buffett

-- Spoken: "Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to do this next song especially for you. And for the King."

Well....
I walk up to the mike and and then I shake my hips
I take a deep breath and put a snare on my lips
See me on the street you wouldn't know my name
But imitating Elvis is my claim to fame
So when you put my imitation name in lights
There'll be imitation good rockin' tonight

Cuz I'm an an Elvis imitator and I just can't stop
Imitating Elvis from the bottom to the top
Imitate the way he talked, the way he smiled
I throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
This imitation Elvis may not be the King
But baby I'm the next best thing

Singing Viva Las Vegas and the G.I. Blues
Won't you Love Me Tender in my Blue Suede Shoes
Well let me be your teddy bear, if you must
Oh baby Please Surrender, 'cause I need your touch
Well if you feelin' lonely, need a place to dwell
Come on down to imitation heartbreak hotel

Chorus:
We're gonna rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)

Yeah my gold lamee cape and my sequined suit
Pompadou haircut and my high-heeled boots
Imitating Elvis is the only way
I can make it through my imitation day
I know this rocking music can't be denied
'Cause I was imitating him before he died

Well I'm an an Elvis imitator and I just can't stop
Imitating Elvis from the bottom to the top
I imitate the way he walked, the way he smiled
I throw away my scarf and make the crowd go wild
This imitation Elvis may not be the king
But baby I'm the next best thing

Chorus:
Yeah rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)
Ooooh we're gonna rock (rock rock rock)

Well baby ... it's the next ... best thing

-- Spoken:
Thank you very much ladies and gentlemen
Viva Las Vegas

Did you hear the one about when Elvis went to the doctor? The doctor is worried about E's weight and says, "Mr. Presley, you've got to diet."

"Diet?" says Elvis. "Diet? Hell I don't even know what color it is NOW."

Walking in Memphis
(Marc Cohn)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy -- won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be

Then I'm walking in Memphis
Walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel

Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room

(Chorus)

They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you've got a prayer in Memphis

Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would --
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
And she said --
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am I am tonight"

(Chorus)

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

[Revolting cat!]

Elvis Herselvis is a San Francisco lesbo by the name of Leigh Crow. I'm not sure if she's still doing the act though.

[LisaMalia]

Great song! Thanks for posting.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Never saw or heard it before. Wackos everywhere. Neat picture though.

Black Velvet

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rogers on the victrola up high
Mama's dancing with baby on her shoulder
The Sun is setting like molasses in the sky.
The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything.
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for.

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

Up in Memphis the music's like a heat wave
White lightning, bound to drive you wild.
Mama's baby's in the heart of every school girl
"Love me tender" leaves 'em cryin' in the aisle
The way he moved, it was a sin, so sweet and true.

Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

Every word of every song that he sang was for you.
In a flash he was gone, it happened so soon,

What could you do?

Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring you to your knees
Black velvet if you please.

...If you please
