'Why is Elvis laughing?'

There are several possible explanations about why Elvis laughs. One involves a toupee.

"Why," Sean asks, "does Elvis laugh on the song, Are You Lonesome Tonight?"

"The reason Elvis laughs," says Jim from Belfast, "is because he saw a person in the audience who was wearing a toupee. And we heard that from you, when you were doing the morning show."

"Did I say that?" Sean says, "well it must be true then!"

"On the Elvis laughing discussion," says Davy in Belfast, "he was laughing because he changed the words on the track!"

"Yes!" Sean says.

"And I think the backing singer just kept on singing!"

"She did indeed," Sean says.

"The reason Elvis was laughing on that track," says Raymond in Strabane, "is that he knew he would get it played on the Sean Coyle show."

"Of course," Sean says. "That was exactly why he laughed."

With music from Creedence Clearwater Revival, Status Quo, The Drifters, and Elvis.
