Elvis, the Flintstones, and a lil bit of George Jones

Magnet #686 - Fred & Wilma Flintstone

My TweetDeck's full of folks wishing Elvis a happy birthday today. He would have been 75 today. Dang.

I know, a lost opportunity, because ya'll know somewhere between home and the office, I probably have a couple more Elvis magnets to use.

But this morning, as I was wracking my brains on what to say about this Flintstones magnet that wouldn't make my family and friends' heads spin (because, yeah, there are oh, so many stories here), I stumbled upon this George Jones song:

Yabba Dabba Doo, the King is Gone.

What.

The.

Heck?

I've never heard of the song. Even after looking up the lyrics, I still don't quite understand it. And now I'm fairly sure I'll end up with this song in my head for the rest of the day.

The randomness is all, I suppose.
Pin It!

I remember when that song came out, I thought it was a hoot. WHat? I was a kid. I don't think you're supposed to understand it, just listen to that voice. WHo cares what George sings, it is only important that he sings!

Hahahah. It is funny...just weird, is all. Then I realized that I linked to a fanvid. At the time, I thought it was a real vid.
