If you thought Elvis had left the building, think again! There’s a copy of “Jailhouse Rock,” a polished dance floor, and a tenacious toddler who is keen to prove otherwise.
“The warden threw a party in the county jail,” Elvis sings. “The prison band was there and they began to wail; the band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing,” the singer croons, as William bounces along. “You should’ve heard them knocked out jailbirds sing ‘Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock!’”
And rock they did. As little William won over the crowd with his wiggling hips, hand clapping, toe tapping, and priceless facial expressions, cameras flashed around the room. Dressed to impress in a tiny checked shirt and jeans, William was clearly in his element.
Kudos to his parents, Kristina and Peter, for nurturing such a confident little boy!
At the end of his crowd-pleasing performance, William took an epic, practiced bow, and even applauded himself. He took a humble moment to blow a kiss to his fans before high-fiving a super fan (possibly a parent, but who’s to say; the performance was quite spectacular).
Some were beyond impressed: “I don’t think I could walk at that age,” said one, “let alone dance!” But the most frequent comment, and perhaps even the best, read: “Elvis would have loved this.” We couldn’t agree more; “The King” would have been in his element watching this little guy.
William’s clip was shared a staggering seven years ago, which explains why it has amassed an equally staggering 40 million views. The passing of seven years also means that little William, the tiny tot with the twinkling toes, is now 9 years old. But is he still dancing?
Once a jiver, always a jiver!
