De qué habla
Con humor y estética de rock and roll de los cincuenta, el narrador se queja de un tipo de Memphis que le copia en todo: el tupé, el Cadillac, los zapatos de ante azul y hasta su novia Priscilla. Las referencias apuntan a Elvis Presley, y la broma acaba con un giro negro, porque el imitador termina en la tumba.
Letra
Way down in Memphis, Tennessee
There's a guy looking just like me
Wearing the same blue suede shoes
Singing the same old blues
Way down in the U.S. of A.
There's a guy doing things my way
Combing the same greasy hair
Hugging the same teddy bear
He's a copycat
Trying to steal my soul
But he's too fat
To rock'n'roll
Way down in the deep deep South
There's a guy with a girly mouth
Eating the same banana sandwich
Dressed in the same kind of kitsch
Way down by the Mississippi river
There's a guy with a voice that quivers
Driving the same Cadillac car
Chasing the same lucky star
He's a copycat
Trying to steal my soul
But he's too fat
To rock'n'roll
Way down in America
There's a guy, rich and arrogant
Dating my fair Priscilla
He makes me want to hire a killer!
Way down in the land of the brave
There's a guy lying in his grave
Cause nobody duplicating my jive
Will never get away with that alive
He was a copycat
Trying to steal my soul
Now he's too dead
