Ferris and recorded by American country singer George Jones . </P> <P> The song is about a man who uses the occasion of a breakup to open a bottle of Jim Beam which is shaped like Elvis Presley, the head of the deceased singer forming the bottle top . He further prepares for an evening of drinking by soaking the label off a Flintstones jelly jar in order to better use it as a glass . The jar, like the bourbon bottle, is in the shape of a personage: the fictional cartoon character Fred Flintstone . Filling the label-less jar up to "Fred's pelvis"--the middle of the jar--he drinks so much that, at 10: 00pm, he begins to talk with each character (Fred and Elvis), regarding them both as his drinking buddies . The song continues by saying that the conversation eventually turns to women, with Elvis advising to, "find' em young" and Fred saying, "Ol' fashioned girls are fun ." This first phrase is an allusion to Presley's having started a relationship with his wife, Priscilla Anne Wagner, when she was 14 years old . </P>
