"Weird Al" Yankovic – Velvet Elvis (4:29)

olivegreen85

This is one of my very favourites of Al's, and has been back since I got _Even Worse_ the year it came out (on vinyl! my first vinyl, ever!). I'm pretty sure I had not much of an idea who The Police were at that point, so, to me, it was just a cute, funny song about a boy and his do— I mean, a boy and his painting (and a possible love triangle going on with the hole in the wall ... on the painting's part, I mean). And, eventually, many years later, it would give me the idea to get a black velvet painting of MY Elvis, Danny Elfman (well, I like and respect The King a lot, sure, but I prefer redheads). One of these years, for a birthday present to myself, I'm getting one done, I believe, of this photo: http://oi52.tinypic.com/33k6uyx.jpg. Failing that (say, if they say it's not a good one, since his shirt is black), this: http://oi53.tinypic.com/2cipgn.jpg. (^_^)
