LOLOL NIce German Accent

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks HHJ, however the country of Germany might disagree, LOL.

[Pimporly]

hahahahaahahhahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahaha! You are insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blinkazoid]

And on top of that, I can't sing worth a lick. It's a dangerous combination I tell ya:)))

[DearestBecky]

That was funny. LOL

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Becky! That's what I was going for because I sure as heck can't sing, LOL.

[DearestBecky]

Great job. You did it.

[PantyMython]

hahahaha. funny funny funny! blinkazoid has left the building, lol

[Blinkazoid]

I'm sure there was a virtual standing ovation when I left the building:)))

[Bean829]

elvis died on the toilet

i wonder if it was from constipation?

nice evil lip

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Bean:) Could have been I suppose. Or I guess it could have been from one too many peanut butter and banana sandwiches chased down by 3 fistfuls of amphetamines:)

[Naturally0Artificial]

The Elvis sandwich is actually kind of good. After half of one, it starts hurting though. Grilled banana, peanut butter, and butter. Lovely.

[dorotwhy]

Okay so far we have 1. Adolf Elvis 2. Irish Elvis (A few of those) 3.Pirate-Elvis 4.Elvis Connery-Dunham old man puppet 5.Elvis from Glasgow 6.Boris Yeltsin doing Elvis 7.Noel Coward meets Mr.Mayagi 8.Angry Billy Connelly does Elvis 9.German/Russian Elvis 10.Elvis as a deranged Frenchman LOL THESE COMMENTS AND REPLIES ARE HYSTERICALLY FUNNY, thanks for the laugh :O) I needed that.

[Blinkazoid]

Yep, my subbies came up with some good ones for this vid, LOL.

[petuniabelle650]

Blink, Blink, Blink. You are most assuredly crazy. I really like that in a person. Elvis as a deranged Frenchman singing into a lint roller, nobody but you would have come up with that. Good job.

Fearless and funny, as usual. You need 10 stars for this instead of just 5. And good lip curling there at the end, too. :)

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks PB! I'm certainly not a good enough singer to even try to do a straight interpretation of his songs. Oddly enough I can actually carry a tune somewhat better when I do my raspy type of voice than when I do my regular voice. Many thanks for the stars:)))

[petuniabelle650]

I always seem to hear a Frenchman, even when you're doing a Scottish accent for some reason. :)

[Dlorezzz]

Elvis sounds like he is from Ireland

[Blinkazoid]

Lots of people have been speculating as to what the accent was. I think Irish now officially has the lead. I wonder if Elvis ever sang "Danny Boy". I'll bet he did. I think he recorded somewhere close to 800 songs in his career.

[viddareff]

fuuuunies

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Vidda!

[Blinkazoid]

My vocal chords don't feel so hot either so it all balances out I guess, LOL.

[dorotwhy]

Was that a German (or Russian) Elvis? Love that Mic :O) How's the garden?

[Blinkazoid]

I'm not too sure which Elvis that was myself. Opinions seems to be mixed as to his nationality. He might have even been Alien Elvis for all I know, LOL.

The garden is only doing fair so far. It's been far too cool and wet here this spring. Not just wet but lots of cloud cover so things haven't been getting enough sun till the last few days. I've got stuff filmed but haven't had time to edit it yet.

[dorotwhy]

Personally I just haven't gotten the passion to get my garden going this year. I have mentioned to people that I think I'll let my soil lie fallow... no one is believing a word I'm saying... We shall see. I got a sunburn today, not from gardening though... I was detailing my car. YeeHaw (It could pass for a gardeners sunburn though LOL , shoulders, top of my back and the gap between my shirt and shorts in the back (from bending over) Yikes!

[Blinkazoid]

I'm probably less passionate about it than people think I am. I do it more for the exercise and food than the passion:)

I haven't have more than a touch of sunburn in years. I'm always pretty careful because sometimes the sun will make me itch even if I don't get a burn. Anytime when it's not freezing and I'm outside though I always go without a shirt for a little while to get some vitamin D from the sun exposure. I probably only wash and vacuum my van about twice a year.

[DelisaProductions]

Great Elvis braugh!

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Lisa!

[1DRock37167]

The battles in your brain must be EPIC!

[Blinkazoid]

I had to take the chains and brass knuckles away from my synapses and neurons a while back. Too many headaches.... I think they still duke it out bareknuckles style though.

[TamHickey67]

Angry Billy Connelly does Elvis? Ah huh huh!

[Blinkazoid]

Hehehe, I remember him from the TV show "Head Of The Class" here in the U.S. many moons ago. I guess he's still working? We don't seem to see much of him on this side of the pond.

[debstef]

OMFG. Are you Irish?!?

[Blinkazoid]

Most the people from this area are of Scotch/Irish descent (from WAYYYY back) and my Grandmothers maiden name was McCrary so I undoubtedly do have at least a bit of Irish in me.

[dl737]

Thank you - thank you very much for that. Well maybe not :)

[Blinkazoid]

I'm thinking of submitting this to the people at Graceland so they can tack it on to their tour. Wish me luck!!! :)

[Moonchimes]

LOL! I loved the lip curls at the end. You Nutter,You!! Hugs,~Moonchime ♥¸

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Marilyn! When a song stinks so bad it makes it easier to sneer afterwards, LOL.

[spiralisedcat]

that was kinda noel coward meets mr.mayagi.I love your sense of humour its first class

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Chesterfield Rob! Noel Coward and Mr. Mayagi would seem to be very dissimiliar people. Sorta like me and Elvis, LOL.

[anniehiggy]

I knew Elvis was alive and well!!! :)

[Blinkazoid]

Vegas here I come!!!

[GreatGig1]

Nice lip lift...LOL I am guessing it was that mic that helped to add the "accent" to the Elvis impression??...ha! That could be the winning factor!! :-)

[Blinkazoid]

That's a highly specialized mic. Every so often I stick it down my throat to get the cat hairs out. You'd think I could then sing better but it seems to make very little difference, LOL.

[CapnKangaroo]

i thank you are winning to blinkaziid.

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Ed! There's not too many entries so maybe I have a shot:)

[AZpugs]

Oh!!! That was awful!! I LOVED it!

I agree with thizizliz - the comments are great.

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks AZ! Butchering songs is a specialty of mine:)))

[PappyStu]

Awesome lip work Compadre... Thank you my good friend for kicking in...

Woke with a headache and messed up sleep... I think I feel better now.... he he he

[BasicModelling]

You/ Here? I thought that you had taken another hiatus.. :)

[PappyStu]

From my channel yes... From my friends, heaven forbid...

[Blinkazoid]

Usually my singing is headache inducing. This proves that you are truly made of some different stuff than mere mortals, LOL.

[NaturalTwentyFilms]

If you had mutton chop sideburns, I woulda though Elvis had come back from the dead.

[Blinkazoid]

Yes, It's truly uncanny how spot on this impersonation was, LOL.

[Dianasme]

I love your impression of Boris Yeltzin doing Elvis...... that was just to fun. That gets 10 ********** from me.

[Blinkazoid]

Woot! Thanks for the 10 Diana. Maybe Yeltzin should have belted out this tune while he was standing on that tank that time with the megaphone:)

[thizizliz]

The video was fun (the lamp in the background so perfectly Elvis) but the comments! You have some of the best comments ever! What fun.

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Liz! The lamp (and shade) is probably at least 40 years old (if not older) I got it from an aunt that died about 20 years ago. It's huge.

[BradThunder]

I never knew Elvis was from Glasgow!!!

[Blinkazoid]

I think this was Elvis's distant cousin who the family has never saw fit to claim as one of their own. For the life of me I don't know why:)

[dicom]

Now that was powerful a real Tour de Force!

[Blinkazoid]

It was a Tour de *Something* anyway, LOL.

[BasicModelling]

This was an experience..

..of sorts! The authorities are still assessing the damage... :)

[Blinkazoid]

I'm hoping no lawsuits for reparations will be filed.

[Xeneize0rs2]

ahahah creazy xd=P

[Blinkazoid]

This was Elvis on a bad trip, LOL.

[randomwritings]

I am sure I just saw the audience leaving the building LOL!

[Blinkazoid]

Dagnabbit I told my entourage to lock those doors!!! Heads are gonna roll, lemme tell you!!!

[robertpina99]

I haven't heard the other contestants. So far it sounds like you're a winner.

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Robert! I'm sure I'll be asked to make a guest appearance at Graceland if I should win, LOL.

[OhCurt]

Elvis sounds like he emigrated after shooting his TV and overdosing, Wow!

[Blinkazoid]

Yep, this was broadcast from a secret undisclosed location. And FYI the new flat panel TV's are an inferior technology if you ask me. I get nowhere near the smoke, sparks, and fire when I blast a hole in em'. It's just not the same.

[OhCurt]

Hmm. Is there a way to maybe harness the power from leftover peanut butter and banana sandwiches to help make the blast more dramatic?

Or is it not worth the risk of throwing out one's pelvis?

[Blinkazoid]

I'm afraid it took the power of ALL those leftover sandwiches to enable my resurrection. And to tell the truth my pelvis hasn't been the same since.

[OhCurt]

That's okay. Just wait til you see all the plastic surgery your ex-wife had!

[woosteria]

Heehee...ELvis lives!

[Blinkazoid]

Lemme tell you, being dead for so many years is pure HELL on the vocal chords!

[Perroquet51]

On the other hand, you were obviously lip syncing to the real Elvis, which is cheating.

[Blinkazoid]

I'm surprised anyone could figure that out. It was an old home recording of his where he was much more heavily drugged than usual and had a ham sandwich stuck in his throat:)

[debbiez112]

Oh my you are so funny with your lip action at the end! lol

[Blinkazoid]

Doing the lip curl is MUCH easier than doing to *singing* :)

[Perroquet51]

You may not know it, but I am deeply involved in the Michigan Elvisfest. I do wish you would send us a video on DVD. I'm am almost certain that you'd be accepted! Of course, I only have one vote but you'll have it.

[Blinkazoid]

Hehehehe, I haven't got a clue whether you're serious or not. If you are and want the original file I could send it to you by Sendspace. You'd be taking a big risk of being kicked off as an official for the next Elvisfest though, LOL.

[Perroquet51]

haha, well, I am serious about being part of the Michigan Elvisfest, big time. Cruelly, I was joking about sending a DVD since we have already selected this year's artists :-)

[Blinkazoid]

Sniff:( My fleeting dreams of being laughed at by the Elvisfest throng of the faithful have now been crushed, LOL.

Good luck with the Elvisfest thing Marc! I had no idea you were involved with such a thing.

[liz1060]

uhhhh ... I think Blinkazoid has left the planet ... that was sort of a cross between Elvis, Sean Connery and Jeff Dunham's cranky old man puppet -- lol!

[Blinkazoid]

It's kinda funny you mentioned Sean Connery. I myself didn't really hear the Connery similiarity in this, but it must be in there somewhere because when I was fooling around doing this I did a take where I was more talking than singing and sounded quite a bit like him. I almost used it as an outtake. I thought it was kinda odd because I've tried to do a Connery impersonation before and failed badly.

[kalacaw]

It's the best impersonation I've ever heard! Who was it? :P

[Blinkazoid]

It was Elvis's very distant relation, Blackbeard Presley who was famous for hiding treasure chests full of cheeseburgers. I thought it was very authentic except my beard is white:)

[dorotwhy]

LOL LOL!!

[GoneIsGone]

Was that your scary Pirate-Elvis impersonation? LOL, that made me chuckle...  Your singing, that is... not my anecdote. :+)

[Blinkazoid]

I'm not exactly sure what it was but it *does* sound a little Pirate-y. I recorded a few takes and tried to sound a little different on each one of them and went with the one that made me cringe the least, LOL.

[Bocist]

omg sound like a Irish Elvis..or something.....5 Stars

[Blinkazoid]

It's definately not a Tupelo Elvis, LOL.

[theloathlydaddy]

LOL that was one nutty Elvis! :)

[Blinkazoid]

Well, I *am* a nutter, so I've got to hold up my reputation, LOL.

[edenbainbridge]

you got the lip curl down cold :)

xoexo

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Eden:) After I filmed this I wished I'd milked the curl a little more and filmed myself doing the lip curl and then either flossing or picking at my teeth with a toothpick:)

[dorotwhy]

LOL I get a kick out of your replies LOL

[Furnifur]

always gotta reason to do your Z character rofl great job!!

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Furni:) It's pretty much the only voice I'm able to do that isn't lame:)

[greenNebula]

O_O

[Blinkazoid]

:)))

[Jrocka7x]

haha wow you are amazing

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks for being so amazingly generous Jrocka!!

[hallbe]

Wasn't that Adolf Presley?

[Blinkazoid]

Yep, a distant relation to both the afforementioned. I'm still in a battle with the Presley family because they cut me out of the will for some odd reason. I like to keep quiet about the other, Shhhh.

[thornekatt]

You're so cute...BRAVO!!

[Blinkazoid]

Thanks Sheri! I'm very thankful to all the ugly people out there who make me look less hidious by comparison, LOL.
