You'll be doing alright

A hard headed woman been a thorn in the side of men, uh-huh.

The warden threw a party in the county jail

Viva Las Vegas

You'll be doing alright

...and put it in places where wooden chair parts and gerbils should never be... (rolls eyes)

Okay, I know it's a rock classic and all, but just...think about these lyrics for a second...

This repeats a lot... ESPECIALLY at the end

some 'king' indeed. Personally, I prefer the beatles. At least they have more than 10 words in their songs!

There are no "towns" in Kentucky; all incorporated municipalities in the state are officially referred to as "cities".

The word "team", when in reference to horses, means two horses harnessed to the same vehicle (such as a carriage, sleigh, etc.) When horses are harnessed to any vehicle, aren't they domestic horses (pretty much by definition), and not wild?

If Priscilla was always on the King's mind, then why did they divorce?

'In' definitely does not rhyme with 'you.'

Isn't it obvious? These lines without a doubt suggest violence against women.

These lines have also been cited as dated, because zip codes have replaced zone numbers, and for that matter, I haven't know of the U.S. postal service returning anything to sender in quite some years. however, I do remember how years ago letters were sometimes returned with a stamp (ink stamp, that is) applied to them with blanks to check the reason for the mail being returned. one possible reason that I saw so indicated was "addressee unknown". I don't remember any such category as "address unknown". that makes sense, for as long as an address were unknown, how would one be motivated to even try sending the letter? so the "address unknown" reference in the song is in all likelihood a confused impression of the "addressee unknown" category.

Previous posts have noted the dated nature of the phrase "no such zone" in the line following this one, as U. S. postal zones were replaced by zip codes in 1963 (the year after this song came out!). But this line too seems to be dated, as far as I know. I don't now of the U.S. Postal service returning anything to sender anymore. It used to be that one of the reasons for returning a letter to sender was for neglecting to put any postage stamps on it. But the last time I mailed a letter forgetting to put stamps on it (within the last few years) I never saw it again. Incidally I do remember how years ago letters were sometimes returned with a stamp (ink stamp, that is) applied to them with blanks to check the reason for the mail being returned. One possible reason that I saw so indicated was "ADDRESSEE unknown". I don't remember any such category as "ADDRESS unknown". That makes sense, for as long as an address were unknown, how would one be motivated to even try sending the letter?

If you can remember the 1950s or early 1960s, you might remember a then 'state of the art' record player being referred to as a 'hi-fi'. That was short for 'high fidelity', meaning sound recordings had reached a level of faithful reproduction that much reduced distortion, hiss, etc. But if you're not old enough to remember that, the term 'hi-fi' might not at all compute with you. Even though recordings have become, if anything, progressively more high fidelity, that became an obsolescent name for recordings and the machines for playing them, about the time stereo became normative, and a player of vinyl records was soon more likely to be called a 'stereo' than a 'hi-fi'. In other words, the term 'hi-fi' was symptomatic of the period when such high fidelity was a new-fangled thing, and not something to be used as a name when high fidelity was to be taken for granted as further sound recording refinements (like stereo, digital, etc.), came into being. As vinyl records later gave way to eight track tapes, cassette tapes, and then compact discs, I'm not aware of the term ever being applied to a player of anything but vinyl records. Though we literally have continued to enjoy higher and higher fidelity recordings played on those later devices, the term 'hi-fi' has been strictly passe for decades.

Time for doing the nasty with the King-or maybe he just split his pants again!

'Honky Tonk' (Bill Doggett, 1956); 'Hound Dog' (his own hit, 1956; although it was originally recorded by Big Mama Thornton in 1953); 'Johnny B. Goode' (Chuck Berry, 1958); 'Chain Gang' (Sam Cooke, 1960); 'Love Is Strange' (Mickey And Sylvia, 1956); 'Knock On Wood' (Eddie Floyd, 1966)

Fools Rush In (Where Angels Fear To Tread) - written in 1940 and first performed by Glenn Miller with Ray Eberle.

The verb "to do" in the 3rd singular negative person is "doesn't"

Even if you remove the triple negative (ain't never did no), it would still be grammatically incorrect. It would read "I have did no wrong" or "I have never did any wrong". So the line should be either "I have done no wrong" or "I have never done any wrong".
