This one didn't: "elvis has left the building! elvis is dead ok give it up!!!!!"sanfrandisco - London UK

"Classic country is where it's all at. This song definately kept with the tradition of having clever lyrics to back up the theme of the song. The song is simple and easy to get in to, and the whole Las Vegas/Elvis vibe gives this song character." Surfgoat3k - Liberty, Missouri

"This Band Follows The 'K.I.S.S.' Rule!!!! Its good to see someone have the courage to follow the K.I.S.S rule (keep it simple stupid). The simplicity of the song gives it a charming, refreshing feel. Great mood, and lyrics. This song was short sweet, and to the point. I think more bands ought to look into this form of writing instead of complicating songs with modern-day contrivances. Good work." Honeypickle - Beeton, Ontario, Canada

"Primus in a car crash with Johnny Cash. Details at 10. Country Primus. Strange indeed. An all right song." DrLoveGun - Omaha, Nebraska

Johnny Fulsome is an attempt at writing a Johnny Cash style song in an Elvis in Vegas manner. That got through I guess.

As for the other guys I didn't think of them at all, and had never heard of Stompin' Tom, but those are ok comparisons by me.
