Monologue - Nusrat, He’s My Elvis lyrics

[Audience Member]
Do a Nusrat tune

[Jeff Buckley]
Huh?

[Audience Member]
Do N- do a Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan tune

[Jeff Buckley]
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan?

[Audience Member]
Yeah, you know one?

[Jeff Buckley]
You saw him in the park, right?

[Audience Member]
Yeah, awesome

[Jeff Buckley]
That's why you mispronounced his name ’cause-
Because nononono, no
Because my- I have a friend named Penny and, uh, and she, I- I-
I
Yeah, I played her the- the thing and she said "Nasrat"
It's Nusrat, and he's my Elvis
That’s my guy, listen to him every day
[Audience Member]
Oh and he's playing at the, uh- the world music institute

[Jeff Buckley]
He's playing at the- at the new music institute?

[Audience Member]
No, world music institute

[Jeff Buckley]
World music institute, November 14th
But I really don't wanna turn everybody onto to him
Because then everybody goes: "yeah, that Nusrat thing, yeah, it's a cool hang"
"I saw you at Nusrat, right? Six from the left, clapping your hands"

[Audience Member]
Yeah, but you know what his nickname was

[Jeff Buckley]
Yeah, you're right, I do
I know everything about him
Remember that movie, Diva?
About that guy who, like, rode around on a motorcycle and just, like, knew everything about-
That's the way I am about Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
I know his nickname as a child
What did he- Can you-
Hey, I'll see you later
Do you remember anything that he did?
’Cause maybe I could do it
And blow you away with my ac*men
[Audience Member]
Do you know- what’s- what's the first two on the, uh, the record with the white cover, and he’s sitting on the front, and uh...?

[Jeff Buckley]
The white cover?

[Audience Member]
Yeah, yeah, you know, his white album

[Jeff Buckley]
There's no white album
Is it a picture of him?

[Audience Member]
Yeah

[Jeff Buckley]
A picture of him going...?

[Audience Member]
Yeah

[Jeff Buckley]
Alright, arms are like..

[Audience Member]
Yeah, yeah, that's it
[Jeff Buckley]
Whoa, she just untied my thing

[Audience Member]
We want Mustt Mustt

[Jeff Buckley]
I hate that song

[Audience Member]
Chicken

[Jeff Buckley]
I'm not a chicken
It’s just they do it the disco style
"Na-na-na-na, na-na
Na-na-na
Ahhh"
That one?
"Ahhh"
No, I don't know that one all the way through
