In the context of this song I bet Elvira is a baron who uses her good looks to ensnare workers to dig in the mines, finally the workers have had enough now they are walking to her mansion to take their revenge.

Showed this to my girlfriend, who looked at me and said "I like the guy with the really deep voice." "It's one guy." "Woah. Most people don't have that range." Nice work John!

Thanks very much!

[@Wanderingsage7]

Makes me think Elvira is a calamity Jane vigilante type.

[@maeve615]

That low gravely singing is just smoooth icing on a cake of pure awesome. Love the cover.

Brings back memories of small town living the early 1980s, a tiny radio my only company. No rock stations available. When the station played Elvira, it was a bright part in my day. Always loved this song, and I absolutely adore this most excellent version of it. Thank you muchly!

My grandpa used to sing this song (the original) This was a nice trip down memory lane

[@jeffcummins8639]

Fantastic cover. This song is an old Favorite. My grandparents were really big Country music listeners and I have fond memories of riding shotgun in my Grandpa's old Ford truck with the Oakridge Boys blasting. Thank you for all the awesome music you still put out!

The answer to "how many key changes can you put into one song?" Answer: "All of them." Should have used an image of Cassandra Peterson for the thumbnail...

[@thecogisdead]

Haha, that would have just further confused anyone who's unfamiliar with the song! 😂

[@curtishoffmann6956]

@@thecogisdead I'm good with that...

[@faerylnhiikira1053]

I remember hearing this song as a kid. I could never understand the words. Now I do! Thanks for the amazing cover, John and Co.!

[@Eda_Weirdo]

Beautiful cover! Going to show this to my older sister Elvira, I hope she likes it he-he

[@lysanamcmillan7972]

The harmonies and orchestration leave me thinking of this as a Halloween-like piece as well as a lovely bit of steampunk c&w fusion. Not about the Mistress of the Dark, though. Perhaps she's a vampire. But in truth, that's one of the great parts of this cover. It's flexible like that. Others' ideas about it also fit.

[@mikeedens6240]

Awesome cover. You put a lot of work into this. And your talent is amazing.

[@chunkykong8683]
