Rufus Thomas Jr. - Tiger Man

'A great Sun Records 78 rpm recording - Rufus Thomas Jr. doing "Tiger Man" (King of The Jungle).  A July of 1953 release.  There's a great picture on this "youtube" of Rufus and Elvis having fun on stage.  It's obvious that Elvis knew where Rock N' Roll originated.'

Every single time I see him kicking and karate chopping on stage, I always think how fricken cool he looks doing it😩

And omg... show off those moves in front of me, daddy🤧

This video…I’m dying. I can’t think straight, my body can no longer function. I need this man. Is it just me or is he wearing the leather suit/gi combo in the first part of this? Either way, I need him. Badly. 😍🥵

@lookingforrainbows @whositmcwhatsit @thatbanditqueen @be-my-ally @ellie-24 @from-memphis-with-love I’m sorry but you all need to see this. ❤️

Girls, I'm going to my first karate class tonight! I mean, I might hate it, but they have an offer on for 4 free sessions so I'm going to give it a go.

Which song Elvis sang you consider represents him perfectly? (Well, many, but) one always comes to my mind is "Tiger Man"⚡

"Tiger Man" on the TV special "Singer Presents Elvis" (A.K.A. '68 Comeback Special).

Opening scene of "Elvis: That's The Way It Is", a 1970's documentary recorded in August 1970, during Elvis' third season/engagement at the International Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. EP does a mash-up of his songs "Mystery Train and Tiger Man".

IM SORRY DID U SAY YOURE WORKING ON A FIC ABOUT “COP BIG DADDY ELVIS”?!?- please tell us more because this sounds like the greatest thing ever 😭

I did, Mon ami, I did indeed…welcome to the demented 2009, sweaty and non famous cop AU that @eliseinmemphis and myself cooked up in our feral yearnings one night.

Edit: it’s here

Allow me to lay a bit of the setting for us all, and maybe even throw in a few lines from the draft below.

Life is insular when you’ve been born and raised in a trailer park. A little El Paso suburb was never a thriving metropolis, what with its gas stations and dollar stores on the way to nothingness in the desert, but the recession didn’t help none. Your dreams of buying a car that might actually make it above 120 mph and not guzzle your wages in gas is a far off dream when you learn from officer Presley that your entrepreneuring father has been incarnated for racketeering across in Juarez. It’s a shame, a damn shame but it hardly throws a wrench in your life, you were already used to making it however you could. When workin’ at the trucker’s club turns into something a lil more illegal and Elvis has his morning waffle ruined by Joe Esposito yacking about the powers of your pink tongue…he feels a little responsible for leaving you without a father figure. He’s got top notch swamp coolers in his trailer, plenty of food and tiger figurines out front -and he’s got an interest in fast things, just like you.

You could do worse than shack up with such a fella; not that he’s offerin’ but you can tell by the flicker in his eye and the smirk of his lips that he’s as susceptible as the next guy watching you on the pole. Except this sweet, world weary cynic just might screw your gooey insides up worse than any threat or ogle from another man.

Snippet:

“Well, well officer Presley, finally got persnickety about laws, have ya?” you observed to yourself with a grin as you watched the handsome man swagger towards you along the white line in your side mirror, tugging at his pants as he neared, trying to shimmy the article of clothing a little higher but is impeded by his belt, stopped by his sizable belly, his holster and buckle sitting under the bulge of it.

Your mouth watered. It had been a year or two since you saw him last. He was always built, intimidating to all the stupid rascals he keeps in line along the border, but now he had become outright fat and his khaki shirt pulled apart between each button. Yet when he came up to your window, that little boy grin was still gracing one of the most exquisite faces known to man, and his voice was tender and playful when he greeted you, just as you once recalled. You could see his sweaty hair, matted on his chest and belly between the gaps, his underarms had massive pit stains, doubly apparent thanks to the light color of his police uniform.

Your smile had something of the she-wolf in it as you greeted him, sniffing the air in hopes of catching a whiff as he leaned on your window frame, nearly crowding you from outside. “Hey Miss Sweet Cheeks,” he greets, “you know why ya been pulled over?”

“Haven't got a clue, officer.” You stated the truth and enjoyed the way his title rolled off your tongue in a bantering way. It was easy.

Officer, officer. Somebody important and authoritative. No sir, yes sir, Officer.

His left eyebrow quirked and you wondered what he looked like at twenty five, how devastating that expression would have been before his wound and his meds and the water retention. Whatever power it may have once held, it holds nothing to this slightly bemused, slightly cynical world weariness that shows in his every expression now, that had a twitch of an eyebrow making you feel a fool. “You’re goin’ seventy in a forty five, Miss.” his tone was patient even as his face suggested he’d like to tan your hide for being so reckless. “Reckless endangerment of others, and yourself,” he quoted sternly, “it ain’t no small matter and I don’t countenance it on my highway.”

Gosh, you just loved it when he laid claim to government property like highways and interstates. It helped you smile meekly at him and nod.

“Sorry officer, I got lax.” You purred, batting your eyes and you could see the heavy flap of their coal coated weight in your periphery. “I’ve seen you lettin’ me flyby on the interstate. I guess I thought…”

Elvis Presley in Las Vegas 1956 ~ Vegas wasn't ready for Elvis then, HOWEVER, Elvis returned to Vegas in 1969 & literally saved Vegas!! ~ The Rat Pak days were long gone & young people were wearing jeans & going to rock concerts, certainly not dressing up & flying to Vegas to spend money they didn't have. Vegas could have blown away in the sand but Elvis was offered to come back in 1969 & THIS was certainly his comeback to a live audience! The world flew to Vegas to see the one & only KING & no one was disappointed, certainly not Las Vegas! Elvis revitalized Vegas forever!! TCB⚡TLC⚡

He really did just let flap around didn’t he. It wasn’t a Urban Legend after all. I wish he would have incorporated this routine into his 70’s shows.
