References

• This familiar is an enormous reference to famous singer Elvis Presley. This includes its appearance, name, description, equipment, and most of its messages.
• The karate moves are also a reference to Elvis Presley, who was awarded a first degree black belt for Karate on March 21, 1960, although there is some controversy regarding his qualifications.
• "Rock-a-hula baby" is a song by Elvis Presley that is most likely being referenced in the maypole text. The song is from a movie he did called Blue Hawaii in 1961.
