Alannah Myles - Black Velvet (Lyrics) 

Ditto

But what is significance of black velvet? How is that connected to Elvis? I'm still not sure.

@@nikkilee3135 I had to look it up lol "The words "black velvet" are a multi-faceted reference that can be applied to Elvis in numerous ways. (1) The "Velvet Elvis" phenomenon of his likeness frequently being painted on black velvet. (2) The soulful and smooth "black" baritone sound of Elvis' voice and the many African American recording artists and singers he emulated to create his special brand of rock n' roll. (3) Black Velvet was the brand name of the hair dye Elvis used to give his normally light brown hair its distinctive black sheen. (4) Black Velvet Is also the name of a Canadian whiskey, referred to in the line "Black Velvet, if you please."

I'm Canadian (like Alannah Myles), and new pretty quickly that it was about Elvis. They played it a lot here...such an amazing song.

It’s about Elvis actually😭

Sat at the little dining table 🍹 this- shots. The stupid little diagonal kitchen is where I learned to cook potatoes, Romanoff and dad didn’t know it but I took that recipe with me like it was his heart and it became my signature dish now whenever I go to any family events

That’s where Cleopatra CLEO lived. Bird dog like Josh’s dog , Atlas protector. You’ll never find that house it’s gone along with him I little inside story ps . I had to DUCK ( pun intended) in that kitchen or I’d hit MY head. 😂😂😂😂😂 maybe that’s why he didn’t like his head touch. I hadn’t thought about that till just now. Laugh out loud. Gotta go. Have a good day.

She’s talking about Elvis

No… lol can we leave Elvis out 😂. I already told😂😂😂

I bet it was nothing but a heartache to find out it wasn't Bonnie.. 🤣😂💔

@@TheNothing6 That was a good one. Seriously, her song “Total Eclipse Of The Heart” came out like in 1983; it was around four or five months before I entered the Army. I never knew what that song was about until years later when someone explained it was about vampires.

This songs to Elvis

I was sitting here telling my girlfriend I was 14 when this song came out. She was 2

Yes it was

i remember this song as i was in the Navy based in Mississippi 1990 and they would play the hell out of it on the local radio station i swear 1x 2 hr

I just learned that last Sunday

Just leant that now from you 👍🏻👍🏻

SAME HERE! After all this time lol I feel foolish 😆😆

😊😊😊😮😊😊

I got straight away in 1989 when i heard it that is was about elvis.

First time I heard it I knew who it was about when it said black velvet, they use to paint him on a sheet of black velvet

“Black Velvet” was the color of his hair color in a bottle.

I thought she was talking about a hot boy wearing black velvet

Pretty much the same, only I thought it was a song about seduction. Turns out, wasnt that wrong either.

yes!

😂❤
