I worked in a supermarket and they used to play this all the time. I think i listened to this more times then anyone else in the world, probably 3 times a day for nearly 4 years. And you know what the amazing thing is after all these years? I still have no fucking idea what he is singing about. Elvis? Fishing? New Shoes? Fishing for Elvis with new shoes? Dunno why, but I always imagine a church full of happy clappers jumping around and singing, healing people & getting all emotionally retarded.
I've been listening to this song for the last few days, just over and over, and I don't know what it is, but there is just something about this song that gets me everytime.
@dannashannon44 i live in florida---i heard this song and said i am going to memphis. little to say i was on vacation--so i got kind of wild. a memory i will never forget.
Such a great song, everything just seems better after listening to it. If i ever hear a Rebecca Black or Justin Bieber song, i'll be listening to this one to off set the anger :D :P.
@ZzST0K35YzZ1 You don't have to be an ass. I like this stuff, I also like a lot of the stuff that comes out today. It all really depends on what mood I'm in. I'm sick of people saying that everything today sucks, because it doesn't.
THIS is music. not the rap and hip hop 'songs' people of my age listen to these days. I'm 15 and I love/adore listening to songs like this, no hard beats for me. this cheers me up, this makes my day and brings me a smile. every single day. for already a view years.
@816dboi i guess you meant that timmy is a one hit wonder, because after all the prayers are done and over with his career will be over...and i mean that by the end of this year...so yeah i guess you can say this video can relate to that overrated piece of shit!
We will just insert multiple penises into Larry Craig's butthole in an airport bathroom when we hear this song because we are just blumpkin-ridden dudes into AWESOME shit like this!
You don't have to be a certain age to enjoy the music, so stop saying how old you are and asking if it's weird that you like the song. Shut up and enjoy the music!!!!
gotta love it. i used to listen to this song every morning when i was little and the stars were still out and id just listen to this song and stare out at the stars...
I cant believe one of the top rated comments is complaining about video resolution on an audio clip
