Yes, he looks Elvish...

So, I read Terry Pratchett's Soul Music again for the hundredth time. It was my first Discworld novel, read when I was nineteen, and is rather precious to me.
I was just reading the Wikipedia entry on the Discworld novels, and they mentioned that the constant phrase, "He looks elvish," in reference to Buddy (aka Imp), was a running joke. I read that sentence slowly, and then jumped out of my seat and yelled, "OH! I get it now! ELVIS!"
This may not make sense if you have not read Soul Music.
Imp Y Celyn means "Bud of the Holly". So, his friends call him Buddy now that he is a rock star (get it? bud, holly...). He has curly black hair and is very cute. He dances onstage. With his hips. He "looks elvish."
Elvish. I get it now. Ha ha.
Oh my god, it took me eight years to realize that.
I got every single joke, gag, and reference in the book, except for that one.
*shakes head*

Um. Okay. Yes.
Go read Soul Music. You'll like it.

(A sidenote: I had not even heard about the Discworld series until Phishtar gave me some advice for my second Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fanfic, and quoted Soul Music as an example, which prompted me to buy, read, and fall in love with it. And now I can't even remember what site "Ashes To Ashes" is published on, it's been so long. Dawn, don't you have it on your website?)
