ohhh "Black Velvet" sucks so bad

wanko ergo sum, Saturday, 26 January 2008 17:47 (seventeen years ago)

it is good esp. when fat ladies sing it @ karaoke

remy bean, Saturday, 26 January 2008 17:51 (seventeen years ago)

I have no idea what that song is about. from memory:

black velvet in a little boy's smile
b.v. in that slow southern style
a new religion that'll bring you to your knees
b.v. if you please

That is not making any sort of linear or poetic sense to me.

The words "black velvet" refer to either Elvis himself (as his likeness is usually painted on a black velvet canvas) or his voice. Black velvet is described as a "new religion that'll bring y'all to your knees" (changed to "bring you to your knees" in the Robin Lee version) The chorus tells of "black velvet in that little boy's smile/ Black velvet with that slow, Southern style" and the end of the first verse claims that "The boy could sing, knew how to move, everything, " and that "he'd leave you longing for [black velvet]".

the liners are terrible. i don't like jack's 'tude. seems like an artifact from the mid-90s.

bell_labs, Monday, 28 January 2008 16:22 (seventeen years ago)

Bachman-Turner Overdrive - You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet
