Parody Written by:

The Lyrics
Quoting Elvis from his 1973 concert: "Here's a little song uh'wrote 'bout me and Priscilla, and how sometimes......well...things just aint s'posed t'be uh'guess - thangyouverymuch....." (listen to an mp3 of the OS here)
After sun - rise...
on a cold and rainy Memphis mornin'
I finished my shower'n stepped on the floor
it got wetto
(it got wetto)
And Priscilla sighed...
coz if THERE'S one thing that she don't need
it's a slippery floor in the ensuite - she
got upsetto
(got upsetto)
"Woman don't you understand
I will mop the pudd-le and
the floor'll be dry - just like it was yester-day"
then I muttered nerv-ously
"I've mopped it DRY!....drop-free!
and you can simply
step on it
no need for dismay"
Well she did...so...
but-the-instant-that-her-foot
touched that mopped up floor
it slipped on a few little drops, or more
of my sweat-o
(of my sweat-o)
and so then I lied...
"you SLIPPED coz you're a clumsy dill!"
yes I lied without guilt
like that wood-puppet built
by Geppetto
(by Geppetto)
THEN she turned, with irritation, and walked out of my life
we got divorced
she sued me dry
I felt remorse
so spent my time...
...in Kentucky Fried
coz-I felt like that dude who yelled at his dame
in that movie, ooh, what the hell was his name?
oh yes, Rhett-o
(oh yes, Rhett-o)
and then to my surprise...
on a cold and rainy Memphis mornin'
an answer to my loneliness took form
got a pet-o
(got a pet-o)
...oh, and a triple-fried
quadruple cheese, banana and bacon baguetto
(baguetto)
thankyou, thangyouverymuch

*shakes head in utter disbelief*.....Another wonderfully silly addition to your already enormous compendium of wonderful silliness. "Rhett-o"? "Baguetto"?? hehehehehe. 555
This is HILARIOUS, 555,love it! Kentucky Fried....Movie? I love that movie!
Ladies and Gentelmen, Stuart has left the parody... (With fives)
Fabuloso!
wonderfully weird
Makes me think of Priscilla in stilettos! Fivettos!
As the snow flies... on a cold and windy Jersey morn, I read this and laughter soon was born, here's your cinco. And Pacholek laughs... 'Cause if there's one thing that he sure needs, it's a funny Elvis parody, here's your cinco.
As an artist, I describe this as very beautiful.
Of course, now he's deado. But resurrected he makes for good parody fodder.
And a high five five five, is what you getto...very humerous scenario
Stu - as someone who's likely to read this before end of play today, please may I pass this on through you: I can't access the inthe00s, and haven't been able to for two/three days - I have a set of votes for SOTM, but can't submit them.
PS Love the parody :-)

Better than the original song.
LOL on all the "ghetto" subs - IMHO, they really make this parody. Wasn't familiar with the original, so thanks for providing the link. 555
Phil, in the case that Stu doesn't get a chance to reply before midnight, you can email me at redant50@hotmail.com, or post you choices here and I'll post them on the messageboard. If you tell me the problems you are having I may be able to help.

Thanks, Jack - have sent an email (you might want to remove the comment to prevent your hotmailbox from getting spammed.. unless it's a temp one, anyway)
Phil, you're welcome.
thanks Kristof - but silly???!.....obviously you weren't at that concert, mate - there wasn't a dry eye in the house
thanks Jack - in fact by a huge coincidence, I just re-watched KF Movie yesterday, not that it has anything to do with this parody
thangyouverymuch Matthias :-)
thanks JAB alvin and yoidy (tried, but couldn't get stilettos in;-))
excellent MP - that's half a parody already - thanks mate
that's a lovely compliment Ann - I appreciate it
thanks Merry and AFW
thanks Phil, and sorry I arrived here too late to help (we Aussies are always the last here) - but Jack never lets anybody down, does he?
thanks 2Eagle, although I do like the OS
thanks Jack - it was the idea of a chain of ridiculous "...etto" subs that I started with here - the Priscilla/petty-squabble theme came after I'd written my first version, so I had to go back and rewrite the whole thing

Really Stu? Then this is not a chawade
Nice parody. 555. Can you believe that this year marks the 30th anniversary of his death. I can still remember when I first heard it on the TV news. Man, I feel old. I'd better go buy stock in prunes and Geritol. At least the Hoveround looks like fun.lol
I didn't watch it in full Jack - just scrolled through my recording of it for nostalgia's sake - the Bruce Lee bit stretches on a bit - so I don't know all the quotes - but it certainly took me back 20 years
thanks Michael - I recall the moment and the place well - scary that he died younger than me :-< (and of course it was all Priscilla's fault)

(SOTM) Fantastic effort. You have my vote here. 555
(SOTM) See Above-o
(SOTM) Cleverness. Stu is T.C.P. ! (Takin' Care of Parodies!)
(SOTM) Same as my comment above. Very creative. 555
SOTM-Gangsta
SOTM - 555 miles to Graceland...
I could almost hear Elvis singing this... especially with the "thankyou, thangyouverymuch" at the end :-)
(SOTM) See above, fives Ill vote-o
(SOTM) To quote Robert J. Pagliaro (whatever happened to him, anyway?): "This is very good." Oh, and one more thing: WOW !!!
(SOTM) Wow the OS recording seemed to make this song seem a lot longer. Still you did get Geppetto involved, so here's your wooden nickels - 555.
(SOTM) As good as always Stu, as always a fan. . . .
SOTM - I say that's gotta be... unusual... I don't get where it came from, but it DEFINATELY made me laugh, 5-5-5
SOTM - Elvis in KFC ... that would be quite a sight these days. Actually ... any place Elvis shows up nowadays is quite a sight :P
I always knew Elvis wasn't dead. What a brilliant parody!
I just thought of something: Did Elvis go to KFC because he heard THE COLONEL was running it?
(ABC) A parody one can't forgetto!
Some people you just can't please can you? Leaving you just because she slipped on the bathroom floor... Man.... This is such a sad (yet hilarious) song.
555 to ~General McArthur~ the Supreme Allied Commander, for this charming scene of domestic bliss with Elvis & Ms Priscilla. She is still quite stunning! and thanks for the mention of Dear ~RB~
(ABC4N) Stu - How did I miss this? Brilliant! Loved all the subs and refs. The Kentucky Fried was priceless. The only ref I didn't get was "Rhett-o". Oh well - it is still good.
(ABCN4) My above comment really still sums me up, the only thing I can say, is your work since this one is far more impressive than just me saying I'm a 'fan', but this one was still very clever, especially the turning words into ___o. . .you might be able to do well on "Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See". . .
(ABC4) I'm surprised the divorce attorney bought that. Nice write, Stu, even if the 'Rhett-o' gag went over my head.
(ABC4N) I saw this one before this comp and thought it was just hilarious. I still do. I love the way you rhymed ghetto with *ett-o subs...and provided great images and a story.
For those who didn't get the "Rhett-o" gag...google "Margaret Mitchell"
For those who didn't get the "Rhett-o" gag...google "Margaret Mitchell"
(ABC4L) I've just realised that I often refer to your parodies as "silly", Stu....I mean it as the highest compliment (obviously) but I'm going to have to find a better adjective. You know I love this.....
"stupid" "lame-brained" and "assinine" work for me also...;-)
Man.... Priscilla must be one hard-assed woman to please, but Elvis was the King. I mean there were a bunch of hot 50's-styled chicks crawling on stage to get a peice of that... I'm sure he didn't have to worry about such a strict wife, when he could have a bunch of hot 50's-styled chicks to pick from.
Sir Matthias, please Sir. calm down, because in the 50's, aside from Ava,Marilyn,Jane, there were No HOT chicks!
SOTY - This gets a set-o of 5s.
Sometimes I forget that Priscilla was Elvis' wife, and not just Leslie Nielson's crush in the Naked Gun movie series.
SOTY- Great little rhyming scheme for 'ghetto'. Very well done, Stu.
