You can’t help but laugh and be in awe as you watch this Elvis classic, ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’, that turned into a beautiful instrumental but with a twist! I don’t know about you, but when I clicked on Alexandra’s video, I was expecting a classy piano cover of an Elvis song — maybe something swoony, something soulful, something to make you say, “Well thank ya, thank ya very much.”
What I didn’t expect was to be blessed by what can only be described as The King meets Owlville.
There she was — Alexandra, all grace and professional in her white top, jean skirt, and runners, playing like she had the ghost of Elvis himself tapping his foot backstage. Every note was crisp, passionate, and full of that “hallelujah-in-heels” energy that makes you believe this woman probably practices scales while sipping sweet tea and quoting Chopin.
And then … out of nowhere … an owl.
Not a metaphorical owl. Not a wise-old-soul-kind-of-owl. A literal human owl in a onesie, hitting the xylophone like it was her divine calling. And I’m pretty sure that owl was Alexandra, too, just cloned for maximum fabulousness. I could not help but burst out laughing because it was so comical.
It was like watching The King of Rock and Roll get a heavenly remix by The Queen of Whooo-sical Arts.
One viewer said it best: “A Queen on the piano, performing a song made popular by the King.”
Another chimed in, “Way better than the original when interpreted by the most beautiful pianist in the world.”
And honestly? They’re not wrong. Alexandra gave us a cover that was equal parts concert hall and comedy gold. If Elvis had seen this, he would’ve said, “You ain’t nothin’ but a hoot dog cryin’ all the time!”
Somewhere, angels are snapping their wings to the beat, and even the owls are saying, “Whooo needs sleep when you can watch this again?”
