  1. And yet this still isn’t all that weird when you consider that his daughter would eventually marry Michael Jackson.

  2. This is the kind of thing Grant Morrison sees every time he closes his eyes. Except he also hears dialogue:

    “Farathoom! The Hound Dog of Tindalos!! Quick, L.V.S., our only chance is ideo-osmosis into the Gnostiverse! Set picobots to tekno/rubedo and prepare to permeate the pleromic membrane!”

  3. What’s even scarier is that “at this point in his career” was still B&W photography, but if you look at the photo, you can still tell that you could have used his suit as a low-light reflective safety jacket.

    Oh, and, there’s some bozo in a giant dog suit.

  4. It’s actually the start of the bizarre dream sequence in which Elvis sings “Edge of Reality” from his 1968 movie Live A Little, Love A Little. Michele Carey was his very lovely co-star but the man in the dog suit is unknown.

    His Great Dane actually appears as Albert in the movie. Brutus and Snoopy was given to him by Priscilla. He died shortly after her and Elvis divorced. Snoopy later became Priscilla’s favorite Great Dane.

  5. …And to think at this point in his career, some said that Elvis had lost his edge.

    “Hey, man, put another midget in the blender, man. Thangya vera mush…”

  6. I think I saw that dude on the left suckin off an old dude in The Shining.

    first thing that came to mind.

  7. The darkness drops again; but now I knowThat twenty centuries of stony sleepWere vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

    I think that pretty much covers it.

  8. Yeah, he had to stick actual dogs, or in this case, actual men very creepily dressed up as dogs during his singing of Hound Dog to keep any suggestion that the person “crying all the time” was a woman being sexed.

  9. Did I ever tell you about the time I had a three way with Ann Margaret and the King? No, it’s alright. So long as you don’t look each other in the eye when you “arrive” it’s not ghee.

    Ding dong.

  10. Wow. Suddenly “Bubba Ho-Tep” is the least weird Elvis-related thing I have ever encountered . . .

  11. Clearly, that girl can see the physical man-dog form of Elvis’s lust for her.

  12. That reminds me of one of the bosses in Castlevania: Legacy of Dakness.

    I’m trying to figure this one out, because I really don’t know. **Which one** of them specifically reminds you of a boss from Castlevania? They’re all pretty freaking scary.
