Elvis: Wise men say…only fools rush in
But ah can’t help
Talkin’ to a cat!
Oh, man! what was in that salad last night? Ah had the wildest dream where I’s bein’ interviewed by a talkin’ cat! It was purty cat, a dilute calico. She kept askin’ me questions about mah whereabouts for tha last forty-five and a-half years. Whatever was in that salad, I want to stay away from. I ain’t never had a trip like that, not even when that snake, Tom Parker shot me up with somethin’ to get me up on stage after ah passed out. He convinced mah business manager and stepdaddy, Vernon Stanley that it was the only way ta get me goin’ again. But ah ate this stuff! It’s gotta be mighty powerful stuff ta give me ah head trip like that. Ah talkin’ cat. Imagine that! (knock knock)
C.: Oh, King, is everything okay?
E.: Ah’m awright now, I reckon. Who’s out there, a knockin’ on mah bedroom door?
C.: It’s me, Cal.E. Kat. Don’t you remember me? We had a nice chat yesterday, and then we sang a duet with my mom and dad’s karaoke machine. You said that you were getting some ideas for a new song, which you want to release as a comeback song with your new band, “The King and the Four Aces." You, Freddy Mercury, Janice Joplin, Jim Morrison and Jimi Henddrix were going to come out of hiding and perform the best music ever played! Y’all have all been hiding on an uncharted island off the coast of the Carolinas, but you said it was time for a comeback, because you thought today’s music was so disturbing. And, you said I could be your backup singer!
E.: (Man, ah must be hallucination’ again!) Ah’m comin’ to tha door. Ah wanta see who you really are. There ain’t no such thing as a talkin’ cat…. Okay, where is he or she?
C.: He or she who E.?
E.: Tha person who’s a throwin’ his (or her) voice ta make it sound like a cat is talkin’ ta me! Ah gotta admit, it’s a helluva ventriloquist doin’ it. Ya almost had me fooled.
C.: King, maybe you should lie down for a while. To help you feel better, I’ll invite my backup band, the RoCKats over and we’ll play some music for you. Maybe you could sing along, since that’s something you really enjoy doing. Do you know anything in the key of caterwaul?
That’s all the time we have for today folks, please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner. Your ears will be in for a treat!
