1) Finnish demoscene musician, Jussi-Matti Salmela
2) Elwood J. Blues from The Blues Brothers
3) The hip-hop project of Prince Elwood Strickland III
4) British Dariacore project based around the cartoon Arthur
1) Pseudonym for Finnish demoscene musican and electronic tracker Jussi-Matti Salmela, who first released his music to the world wide web in 1995 with the track "Dead Lock." From Kankaanpää, Finland, Jussi-Matti began exploring the demoscene at an early age with his first musical program, a 4-channel soundtracker for the Amiga 500 in 1988. The tracks Elwood first debuted were XM modules created using the demogroup Triton's FastTracker 2 MOD file computer tracker program. When support for FT2 was discontinued in 1999, Elwood made the transition to tracking in mp3 format. His last XM module composed with the FT2, was the appropriately-titled "The Only One Left." This track was laster rendered into an mp3 and released with over a dozen others from 2000 to 2003 via his now-defunct mp3.com "Elwood79" profile page. In 2006, he briefly corroborated with a fellow demoscene musician in a project known as LoomMusic, though the duo never officially released any full-length tracks and the project is currently on hold. In recent years, as Elwood, Jussi-Matti composed "The Theme to Vertebra" for a locally-produced film in 2010. Later that year, the piece "Hey Peaches (You Leave Me Speechless)," was made commercially available to iTunes under the alias "Magellanic Milk," with intention of "building from the demoscene" and incorporating "contemporary sounds & styles." In December of 2013, Jussi-Matti returned to demoscene tracking with a brand-new take on the scene and renewed interest in creating music with the track "Spark." All of his solo work as Elwood is available at his web page, elwoodproductions.com, and his original XM MODs (with accompanying upload dates & track descriptions) may be found at the modarchive.org website.
2) Edward "Dan" Aykroyd Daniel a.k.a. Elwood J. Blues, CM (born July 1, 1952) is an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning Canadian comedian, actor, screenwriter, musician, winemaker and ufologist. He was an original cast member of Saturday Night Live, an originator of The Blues Brothers (with John Belushi) and Ghostbusters and has had a long career as a film actor and screenwriter.
3) Elwood is the eclectic hip-hop/pop project of singer/songwriter/producer Prince Elwood Strickland III and co-producer and songwriter Brian Boland. Born and raised in North Carolina, Strickland grew up listening to rap, soul, country, folk and pop and eventually became a recording engineer at Soho's Greene Street Recording Facility. During his decade-long stint there, he worked with artists like Tricky, Mos Def, De La Soul, the The and Adam Yauch and met Boland. The duo recorded a seven-song demo in Strickland's own studio led to a deal with the Palm Pictures imprint, and Elwood worked with acclaimed British producer Steve Lillywhite on tracks for their debut album The Parlance Of Our Times, which was co-released in early 2000 by Palm Pictures and Lillywhite's label Gobstopper.

Elwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
im in love with you tonight
ive been sittin here at home
starting at that telephone
shaking up boxes of letters
mementos in my old brown sweater
thinking about those days of old
and oh how it touched my soul
im in love with you tonight, come on lets make it right
heeeyy, we gonna ride the little red wagon
we gonna ride the little red wagon through the clouds and show you that i love you
said heeeyy, we gonna ride the little red wagon
we gonna ride the little red wagon through the clouds and show you that i love you
remeber when we blew the horns
we go silly on the phones
friday night dance hall song
a lot of love it kept me singing
it reads like a story book
confused and ive been mistook
your star twinkle twinkle bright
im in love with you tonight
it could have been a simple story, sittin in the morning glorys
im in love with you tonight, come on lets make it right
heeeyy, we gonna ride the little red wagon
we gonna ride the little red wagon through the clouds and show you that i love you
somebody said heeeyy, we gonna ride the little red wagon
we gonna ride the little red wagon through the clouds and through the sunshine so i show you that i love you
now im here hating those crooks
they stole your heart and left me shook
and im swingin on the front porch baby
im just thinkin about you driving me crazy
i know they say the grass is greener
my love is lost, have you seen her?
your star twinkle twinkle bright
im in love with you tonight
it could have been a simple story, sittin in the morning glorys
and im in love with you tonight, come on lets make it right
heeeyy, we gonna ride the little red wagon
we gonna ride the little red wagon through the clouds and show you that i love you
somebody said heeeyy (hey), we gonna ride the little red wagon
we gonna ride the little red wagon through the clouds and show you that i love you
In "Red Wagon," Elwood sings about reminiscing on old memories and the dreams that he once shared with someone special. He is longing for that person to return and make things right. He spends his time going through mementos and boxes of memories, thinking about days spent together and how it made him feel. He wants to reignite that spark and ride the "little red wagon through the clouds" to show his love.
The song has a nostalgic and sentimental tone that brings back memories of innocent, carefree times. Elwood's lyrics paint vivid imagery of a simpler time when the stars twinkled brighter and the world was full of possibilities. The chorus is catchy and inviting, inviting the listener to join in on the ride and experience the love that Elwood has for this person.
