Do you know what today is? I'll tell you what day it is: it's Elvis' birthday. In honor of the King, I'm going to teach all of you how to do a passable Elvis impersonation. Here's what you do: speaking in the lowest register your voice can reach, say this line: "A hubba hayba hubba hayba baby." Gyrate your hips while doing this and sneer. Now marry a teenager. Now take drugs and die. There you go, you're a rock and roll icon.
Anyway, to really honor Elvis I've placed a few clips below featuring Elvis on the Ed Sullivan Show. The first clip is Elvis' performance of "Hound Dog" that caused a stir because of his gyrating hips. While doctors and scientists have yet to explain it, Elvis managed to impregnate everyone watching the program with his magic hips, even the men.
