Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, cat, go
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
You can do anything
Well, you can knock me down
Step in my face
Slander my name
All over the place
Do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh, honey
Lay off of my shoes
Don't you step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But stay off of my blue suede shoes
Let's go, cat!
Ah, walk the dog
You can burn my house
Steal my car
Drink my liquor
From an old fruit jar
Do anything that you want to do
But uh-uh, honey
Lay off of my shoes
And don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But stay off of my blue suede shoes
Ah, get
Yeah
Well, it's one for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go, go, go!
But don't you
Step on my blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But stay off of my blue suede shoes
Well, it's
Blue, blue
Blue suede shoes
Blue, blue
Blue suede shoes, yeah!
Blue, blue
Blue, suede shoes, baby
Blue, blue
Blue suede shoes
Well, you can do anything
But stay off of my blue suede shoes!
"Blue Suede Shoes" is a song by Elvis Presley, written by Carl Perkins. The song embodies the spirit of rock 'n' roll, with its simple chord progression and catchy lyrics. At its core, the song is about the importance of one's possessions, namely blue suede shoes. The first verse sets up the song's structure, with "one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready, now go, cat, go." It's a call to action, a demand for movement and energy. But there's a catch: "don't you step on my blue suede shoes." The overall message is clear: the shoes are precious, almost sacred, and must be protected at all costs. The second verse lays out the consequences of stepping on the shoes, from being knocked down to having one's name slandered. But even more than that, it's a matter of principle: "well you can do anything, but lay off of my shoes." The song then takes a break for a solo, with the singer encouraging the band to "walk the dog." The third verse ups the ante, with the potential for one's house to be burned down and car stolen. But again, the singer reiterates that the shoes must be protected above all else: "you can do anything, but stay off of my blue suede shoes." The song concludes with a final declaration of the shoes' importance, with the phrase "blue suede shoes" repeated as a sort of chant.

I realize I'm being trolled but I'll set it straight anyway.
It says in the video title that this is "musicless" so it's pretty obvious to everyone, including you, that the point of the video is a parody. I've seen many videos by Mario, in fact I'm considering subscribing to him. I don't know about you, I figure you're just some troll coming out of the woodwork to pick a fight with me.
My point was that I commented on the way Elvis is portrayed as talentless in the video, opposite of the real Elvis who were really talented. That's the joke. The video is joking about Elvis, not I. I'm just going along with the video because it's freaking hilarious.
It's pretty funny and hypocritical the way you morons don't get it yet you try to blame me. Are you searching for a way to project your own stupidity and ignorance on somebody else?
So in short, yes, question is do you get the POINT of this video and do you understand the context of my comment relating to the point of the video? It's not rocket science, it's about making fun of something. Can't be that hard to get even for someone like you.
