Herbert enjoyed the herd's weekly karaoke night but wished they could get past "The farmer in the dell, hi ho the dairy-oh, blah blah . . ." First of all, they weren't dairy cows, and second, what's wrong with a little "Stairway to Heaven" or "Heartbreak Hotel" now and then . . .
Elvis Impersonator
Gary begged his mom, “Please make Donny stop squawking old Elvis songs! If I hear Heartbreak Hotel or Blue Suede Shoes one more time, I’m gonna throw him out of the nest . . .”
Not Again
As a group, everyone except Bob (center front) had vowed to out-sing him if he once again started to sing “Home On The Range”. As Bob once again began his old favorite, the rest began a rousing (if not tonally accurate) version of “Heartbreak Hotel” . . .
Elvis Impersonator
Elvis (yes, it’s his actual name; his mother had been a big fan) liked to get away from the usual Jailhouse Rock, Heartbreak Hotel, and Hound Dog imitations and considered his specialties to be Fun in Acapulco and Viva Las Vegas. His reaching out for an Elvis-like version of Yellow Submarine hadn’t been as well received . . .
Elvis Night
Eldridge was going to the karaoke Elvis night and thought he had a good chance at winning the best Elvis in Galveston. He had Heartbreak Hotel and Jailhouse Rock down cold and a really lifelike deep, resonant “Thenk yew very much.” Did he get the hair right though . . . ?
Elvis Impersonator
Tex had been too embarrassed to sing very loud in high school, but with the anonymity of a Karaoke bar, all restraints were lifted. Tex had prepared a series of Elvis songs, including Jail House Rock and Heartbreak Hotel, and he thought he sounded pretty good. His friends who were honest enough to speak frankly said, “No, it was more like a combination of Bob Dylan and Madonna with Tom Jones overtones”. . . . . David, Sf.G.
