Answer:  ALL SHOOK UP

(“I’m proud to say that she’s my buttercup.  I’m in love.  I’m . . . ”  Of course that comes before the title/verse!  You can never go wrong with The King!  On some songs, I can pull off a fairly convincing Elvis, folks.  Especially, Don’t Be Cruel and Teddy Bear.  But, only in the shower, and when I’m driving.

No new clue words today, but I did catch a minor hiccup in the ralis95 clue word database.  There’s a transposition of sorts with “kazoo” showing up under the As, instead of the K’s, as AKOOZ.  Just thought I’d mention it.  The jumbling of “kazoo” and “shrunk” seem new to me.  The answer letter layout was swell.  And, the cartoon was cool, daddy-o!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend, friends.  Be well and do good.)   —   YUR

(This one was a little tougher than it seemed at first.  Sure the H was I, and it seemed like a pretty good bet that the K was E, but I sure wasn’t looking for Bugs Bunny!  The second and fourth words weren’t gimmes, and the author sure wasn’t any help.  I had to Google him to find out who he is, but when I saw him I said:  Oh, yeah.  That guy!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
