Poem by Elvis (This is TRUE; Look it up.) "Ode to A Robin" As I awoke this morning When all sweet things are born, A robin perched upon my windowsill To greet the coming dawn. He sang his song so sweetly And paused for a moment's lull I gently raised the window And crushed his fucking skull.

The Nonsensical Lyrics:
A team of wild horses couldn't tear us apart.
Why They're Nonsensical:
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?

Inappropriate Song Lyrics:

"Return To Sender"
The Inappropriate Lyrics:
Return to sender, address unknown.
No such number, no such zone.
Why They're Inappropriate:
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.
Submitted by: Connie Brady
 

Dated Song Lyrics:

"Return To Sender"
The Dated Lyrics:
Return to sednder, address unknown
Why They're Dated:
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?

"I Need Your Love Tonight"
The Dated Lyrics:
I got the hi-fi high and the lights down low
Why They're Dated:
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.

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:

"Return To Sender"
In early 1993 the US Postal Service finally issued stamps of rock icon Elvis Presley. For years there have been rumors and speculations that he was still alive, in 1988 the rumors really flew bigtime and Cheap trick capitalized on that by scoring a Top 10 cover hit with 'Don't Be Cruel' . Living Colour parodied this commotion with 'Elvis Is Dead' in 1990 (with Little Richard guesting, criticizing the commercialization of Elvis). US law prohibits having living persons on US stamps and photographs are verboten. Finally the USPS issued stamps featuring Elvis, after many other nations have done so for years. Here's a twist. Many people placed these Elvis stamps on empty envelopes with intentially fake addreses written on them. Of course these bogus 'letters' were sent back, stamped with 'RETURN TO SENDER' which is the title of an Elvis hit.

"Hip Swiveling"
When he first appeared on the Milton Berle Show Elvis was swiveling his hips and dancing, which was touted by parent's groups as being obsene, and pan mail came into Milton's show.

Ed Sullivan vowed to never have Elvis on his show until a compromise was reached. Ed would have Elvis on the show but he would be filmed from the waist up.
