k: hello! i'm very excited doing this interview, - i never interviewed puppets, and neither aliens (notwithstanding i feel an alien and someone told me puppets have a life more exciting than mine). Then i'm having a double experience now. Anyway, i was looking at the cover picture of Your fantastic cp.. on the car bonnet there are some 'humans' drawn.. are You dangerous? Do i have to say to people to stay home when You are in the arounds? Elks: oh yes we are Very Dangerous and must be Obeyed At All Times or not. k: ok, the question is easy: why playing music just downhere on planet Earth? Elks: well you could not hear it if we were on the moon or something unless we had Bigger Amplifiers. k: What does music feel like for an alien? Elks: like a happyface lollipop in a reverse gravitation unit but louder. k: 'Our kind of universe' is my favorite one. Extremely sweet. Homesick? Do You plan to come back home somedays? Elks: we are not sick of home yet so we will probably stay here at least until we get our royalties. k: How is the typical day of a puppet-alien?

Can You explain me what does Your name [Elks Skiffle]
mean? Why this name? Elks:
the Elks is an earth aminal with 4 legs eyes on stalks and a washboard
we are a bit like that apart from the legs and washboard. k:
Would You barter Your flying saucer with a ford? Elks: we could consider a
Nebulon Warblecraft and a big bag of Chocolate Chewing Nuts perhaps. k:
I'm lazy, so, please do Your-self a question and then answer. Elks: what is stuck in the b
ottom of a boat
and sings white xmas - Bung Crosb [Bing Crosby, lounge music icon, i guess -
ndk]. k: Have You ever been discriminated because of Your
nature in the musicbusiness? Elks:
no that is because we are Very Dangerous. k: What kind of Music
do You like listening to? Elks:
we want some records by Sooty [Harry Corbett's
handpuppet, very popular since early 5o's BBC programs - k's
note] the famous english puppet and TV show but Sooty has no voice and we have not found any
sometimes we listen to Lawrence Welk who has a voice but does not sing
we think it is a conspiracy. k: how many humans need does it take
to screw a light bulb? Elks Skiffle Group: we have a copy of Mechanix
Illustrated How-To-Do Encyclopedia if that helps. k: what's the
perfect moment/atmosphere to listen to Elks' music? Elks Skiffle Group:
approximately star time 02.047.03 in the vicinity of Quackulon 4 from a
Wub-Wub Orbiter. k: Say something scary to our readers. Elks: Wee-ooo Wee-ooo
Wee-ooo.
