Obsess Me Tender - Google now offers auto-transcribed closed captions on some videos, including Highlights from Mondo Elvis (as seen on the Blue in 2007). →[More:]
If the video disappears, the first link (to FourFour) includes some screencaps of translations. I don't think I would have understood anything about the clip if I was only reading the closed captioning.

Yea, the CC has a long way to go but the captions are just a surreal as the real dialog.

I hadn't seen the vid before. Wow. Just wow.

The captions are mildly amusing but not at all as funny as Mondo Elvis itself. I remember seeing it in 85 and just being stunned by it.

It's still available on Mediaburn.org as a QT video loaded in a java player.
