[edit] Elvis bursting out in laughter

Is it worth mentioning that on one occasion, Elvis performed this song with a female singer doing background vocals, and her high falsetto singing caused Elvis to burst out laughing in mid-song...? I have heard the recording several times, but don't know anything more about it (such as when, where and who was the unfortunate accompanying vocalist.)

It isnt her vocal that makes him laugh, its the altered lyrics he gives the song. Listen again. Damiancorrigan 02:58, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

According to a CD I have, Elvis starts laughing because just after he sings "Do you gaze at your bald head and wish you had hair", a guy with a whig on first row stands up, takes off his whig and walks out. I don't know what's correct, though. Jon Harald Søby 07:49, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

There is many versions of that reason why he started to laugh... One is about bald man, another is about man who removed his wig, one is even about two bald girls who removed their wigs and started to dancing and twirling their wigs around their fingers. Also there is a version that there were no bald-headed people, cause Elvis had been elvish already from beginning.

Would the parody version in Top Secret! be worth mentioning? I seem to remember Val Kilmer in it singing lines like "is your kitchen a fright, shop at Macey's and love me tonight."--T. Anthony 04:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
