The origins of Reverend Elvis and the Undead Syncopators

One of the best Noe Rockabilly songs (which was practically my signature song in my time as a DJ) is “She’s Just Rockin'” by the Sticks Trio. It appeared on the wonderful Fury Records compilation from 1987 with the same name. We always wanted to do a tribute to it, which we did in 2021. “You’re Just Talking” Satanic Rockabilly (2021) Reverend Elvis, Reverend Elvis and the Undead Syncopators originally released by D.T.F.S. Records – Tokyo (Japan).

I just had a nice chat with – I’m an absolute fan and I get all worked up when I write to him. But I’m allowed to use his 2014 lyrics, actually for one of his countless metal projects. I’ll turn it into country again.

EXECUTION IS A DISEASE
EXECUTION IS A DISEASE
EXECUTION IS THE DISEASE
EXECUTION IS THE DISEASE
STANDING UP OR SITTING DOWN
IT DONT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME
THE GAZE IS INSANE
LOOK WHO’S PUSHING HATE
ITS NOT YOU OR ME
DONT YOU SEE HOW THE WARS STAY ENGAGED
AS THE TIME FADES ITS ALL THE SAME
STANDING OR SITTING DOWN ITS A WASTE
STANDING OR SITTING DOWN THE WARS ARE PLACED
JUST MAKE SURE YOUR BLINDED BY THE TRUTH
AND YOU WILL ALWAYS SEE WHATS
COVERED UP BY THE LIES
COVERED UP WITH COMMUNIST THIGHS
COVERED UP BY NAZI DESIGNS
COVERED UP BY THE LEFT AND RIGHT
MOLESTED BY THE NUMBER ONE THIEVES
MAKE SURE TO PRAISE THE HYPOCRISY
ASHES SPREAD ON YOU AND ME
ASHES FROM THE GENOCIDAL DREAM
WATCHING THE HATRED BETRAY SYMPATHY
MANIPULATION KEEPS EXECUTING HUMANITY
EVERY RACE IS A ENEMY

If anyone is wondering whether I have fallen away from the faith by distributing Bach, the answer is no.
I have role models and not everyone is a musical genius for the millennium like Chet Atkins, able to do this just like that after getting up.
The rest of us have to practise, and a little music theory doesn’t hurt. Although you shouldn’t overdo it.
Something artistic, then. Mr Atkins can’t just play that on the guitar, which is already magic in itself. He also wrote and arranged it. No idea how he does it.
