You Ain’t Nothin’ But a Hound Dog
There are times and places that will forever be etched in your mind. Where were you when Elvis died? I was too young (really, I was) to remember the details but I remember the years and years of reminiscing that my family did.
Happy Birthday to the King of Rock and Roll

No matter your age, if you grew up listening to
Well they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Ya know they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain’t never caught a rabbit
And you ain’t no friend of mine
Then you are certain to remember and enjoy the fun that is Elvis!
