| Dead Kennedys – Viva Las Vegas Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Quite clearly, this song is a parody of Elvis' 'Viva Las Vegas', rather than a homage to it. Jello is taking the piss out of the 'Las Vegas' attitude of gluttony and stupidity, and lamenting the ludicrous 'rock'n'roll' attitude presented in this song which eventually led to Elvis' downfall. Jello Biafra also speaks critically of Elvis* (and Elvis fans) in 'A Growing Boy Needs His Lunch'. *He was a redneck, you know. He once said 'The only thing black people can do is clean my shoes and buy my music'. Pretty much sums it up, really. |
