Elvis Remembered

On August 16, 1977, Elvis Presley died in his sleep. 27 years later, his music is still remembered.

Though nowadays children recognize the figure only as a grade they receive in science class, Elvis Presley was at one time a huge rock star, eclipsing even the fame of Dr. Fünke’s 100% Natural Good-Time Family-Band Solution.

On the twenty-seventh anniversary of his passing, local residents remembered Elvis and their favorite song.

Jailhouse Rock
So then I dropped it in the mailbox
And sent it special D.
But in early next morning
it came right back to me.
-- Return To Sender
You know someone said that the world’s a stage
And each must play a part.
Fate had me playing in love you as my sweet heart.
Act one was when we met, I loved you at first glance
You read your line so cleverly and never missed a cue
Then came act two, you seemed to change and you acted strange
And why I’ll never know.
-- Are You Lonesome Tonight?
A Little Less Conversation
Gonna run my fingers thru your long black hair
Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear
Uh-uh-uh,
Yes-sir-ee, uh, uh
I'm gonna stick like glue
Stick, because I'm
Stuck on you
-- Stuck On You
I don't wanna be a tiger
Cause tigers play too rough
I don't wanna be a lion
'Cause lions ain't the kind
you love enough.
Just wanna be, your Teddy Bear
Put a chain around my neck
and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be
Your teddy bear.
-- Teddy Bear

Actually, in middle school, I only got a Jerry Lee in Science. But I always wanted that Elvis. My parents would’ve been so proud. Outstanding work, here. Easily deserving of a grade Daisy.
