Keep you always on my lips?  MY PLEASURE, ELVIS!

I love this particular move of his.  It’s almost feminine, delicate - his hands splayed out.  This was one of the unbalancing things about him.  He did things up there that were typically reserved for women … at least at that time.  He bumped, ground, and wiggled his hips … all while still maintaining his masculinity, but still: it was very very unbalancing stuff.  And the best part of it was none of it was self-conscious.  This was just how he felt like moving.
