It's been a while since I posted some real down home country twang so here's a fun little ditty I wrote a couple of days before Christmas. Here's the story behind the song if you're interested. giggle.... Hope you get a kick out of it. All RTs - RD Nashville Shuffle. Bass 540. Guitars 944,947,1707. Piano 2022. Organ 1560. I Saw Elvis At The Quick Stop It started out a routine run to grab a case cause we was down to none on a Saturday in the middle of June I parked on the side in an empty spot Trying to hurry it was getting hot Didn't notice he was walking out when I was walking in 'til I almost ran right smack into him looking up I grinned looking up I grinned I saw Elvis at the Quik stop Like a deer in the headlights my jaw dropped My knees almost hit the floor He was holding that door and smiled hello Oh I thought I might be dead Still don't know what I said But I was singing all shook up on the drive back home Jet black hair tossled from the wind His teeth so white the store lights dimmed So tall and tan in that light blue tee All I could do was hem and haw Fighting a powerful urge to run for my car And follow him down the road but I ain't no freak It's amazing how good looking one man could be It happened to me it happened to me Now you don't have to believe it's true It's not facebooked, tweeted, instagramed or a video on youtube repeat chorus and tag out. Josie

Good fun listen Josie!
I love this line, "to grab a case cause we was down to none".

Hi Josie. Such a clever write and fun song. Nice production and vocals, twang and all.
Charlie Hey Charlie, Thank you. I get so emotionally intense with songs that every once in a while I gotta let go and write one for fun to clear my head. I've been an E fan since I was three dancing to my teenage sister's records so I had a good time with this one. Josie

Josie UH HUH HUH ,*wiggles hips"  I enjoyed that a lot, the words painted a wonderful picture. And a good story behind the idea for the song. Kirsty McCall did a song years back about a guy who works down the chip shop who swears he's Elvis and YOUR song is up there with it, well maybe just a smidge or two above Production everything is BRILLIANT. Well done Alyn ps added a funny video of my mate Bert "Taff" Williams, The Melyn Elvis, in the youtube forum. The Melyn is a district of my home town, Neath, and I reckon he should be called Melvis.  Great song of yours tho' A

Really liked that Josie
What a great theme for a song too. Nice country feel, with a top story line.

Hi Josie, Loved the lyrics, v funny Vocals/harmonies etc all perfect too. I also thought the country feel was a good match for the song and the breaks in instrumentation at various locations were nicely placed. Congrats! Rec P.S. I am deaf in my left ear at the moment after getting a cold so I expect it will sound even better once I can hear it in stereo, lol.

I love this song! Everyone here knows how big of an Elvis fan I am, this is perfect. I remember when he first passed away, almost everyday someone was claiming to have seen him somewhere. I thought I had one of these moments on one of my visits to Graceland. As I was walking up the drive to the house, there was an Elvis imitator sitting on the steps; and from a distance he looked just like Elvis. It was one of those moments when you could imagine Elvis himself sitting there. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Josie.
Anything which can raise a smile has to be a good thing and this made me laugh out loud.
Very clever writing, fully supported by a great backing and a brilliant performance.
Loved it.
ROG.
