Elvis sleazebag characters

Post by Neil. »

Every so often he comes up with a song about someone really sleazy. Mr Feathers, on his last album, continues the tradition. "Mr Feathers is here..!" but what's he going to do to you now that he is? Also, the record biz promoter on Spooky Girlfriend, with the pony tail. And of course, the lascivious, hilarious Dr Luther's Assistant. Any I've missed?

Ooh, controversial, there, Oily.

Just remembered Maureen and Stan in Ghost Train, and the comical priest from God's Comic - 'with a hand up your fleece'.

The woman who shags Charlie Sedarka in This Town, too - 'they made love while she was changing her dress; she wiped him off, she wiped him out and then she made him confess'.

The bride in When I Was Cruel doesn't get off too lightly either - and neither do the wedding guests.

The guy/narrator in Alison is the biggest sleazebag of them all. Not sure if that's what Elvis intended but it seems that way to me.

What about the man in You Little Fool who sings "I suppose that you're going to stay all night" and Miss Macbeth in Miss Macbeth.
