ELV note: We’ve heard this song a hundred times over the decades, and it’s in heavy rotation among our shower standards. (ELV’s falsetto is world famous….among those who have heard him sing in the shower.) Besides the title and subject matter, the tune is notable for two reasons: 1) ELV always thought The Newbeats were black; and, 2) He always thought the lead singer (despite the lyrics) was a woman. Thus is he now as confused as the girls listening at 1:16 in the video.

ELV’s Thought(s) for the Day
(Almanzo) felt a little better when he sat down with Sunday dinner. Mother sliced the hot rye’ n’ injun bread on the bread-board by her plate. Father’s spoon cut deep into the chicken pie, he scooped out big pieces of thick crust and turned up their fully yellow under-sides on the plate. He pour gravy over them; he dipped up big piece of tender chicken, dark meat and white meat sliding from the bones. He handed a mound of baked beans and topped it with a quivering slice of fat pork. At the edge of the plate he piled dark-red beet pickles. He handed the plate to Almanzo. Silently, Almanzo ate it all. Then he ate a piece of pumpkin pie, and he felt very full inside. But he still ate a piece of apple pie with cheese. – Laura Ingalls Wilder.
Gluttony is the most visible vice. – ELV
