My vote for singer of most unintelligible lyrics goes to Elvis Costello.  Don't
get the wrong idea; he's one of my favorites, but until he recently started
including the printed lyrics in his albums, I had a tough time.  Particularly
disturbing since he writes great lyrics.

For example, on his classic first album there's a song titled "Less than zero",
in which Elvis sings something like "Hey, Hoo-ray".  If anyone out there
can figure out what I'm talking about, and has a guess about what he's saying,
I'd be interested.  Or even if you just have some other good Elvis mis-quotes...

By the way, for those of you who think that the other guy is the real Elvis,
ask yourself, would anybody with class make a movie called "Kissin' Cousins"?
