Shane, in reference to number 4 here is another one that I seem to hear when listening to it.

In "Solitaire" , The line is "and still the king of hearts is well concealed".
To me it sounds like, "and still the king of-farts is well concealed".

What, no rim shot! On second thought, don't answer that.

Well, it's one year since I joined the board (happy anniversary to me) but there are some very serious questions that I have about Elvis that have yet to be answered.

1.) Why oh why do I think that the organ part in It's Carnival Time is actually quite groovy?

Only your groovy self can answer that question.

2.) When producing the booklet for the German-produced CD of Today that came out in the early 90s, who exactly thought that the line "Told me not to stare cos it was impolite" was really "told me not to stagger but was up all night" in the enclosed lyric sheets?

Probably translated by a drunken German. Their beer kicks butt!

3.) Why was a picture chosen for the front cover of the On Stage album that made it look as if Elvis had been wearing dentures for years and had mistakenly left them out before going on stage?

I never noticed.

4.) Why, when listening to It's Carnival Time does it take a couple of seconds for my brain to register that Elvis sings about "popcorn, peanuts and cotton candy" and not a "popcorn penis and cotton candy". One of those classic examples of when you're singing along with a song for years and then suddenly realise that the lyrics you have been singing can't possibly be right!

I think I'll pass on answering this one.

5.) Why do I secretly think some of the word-play in Petunia The Gardeners daughter is quite clever (eg. when she plants her two lips (tulips) on me)?

Phew! After what you wrote in #4 I'm rather relieved that you think that particular line of Pentunia is clever!

6.) Why do the women in the Bordello sequence of the Comeback special scare me more than any horror film? (and I'm sure one of them is a man!)

Well, looks like we're back to something Freudian. I sure hope this isn't connected to #4!

7.) Will fans on the message boards ever stop asking for things to be released that don't exist? (session tapes for Speedway, GGG etc)

You know the answer to this one.

8.) Isn't it time we had a new Elvis In Concert thread? It's been a few days since the last one!

Happy 1 year on the mb shane!

Better still ..
What is worse than having a dead dog on your piano?
Having an infected pussy on your organ!
