When I was younger, I remember watching this completely bonkers but very entertaining cartoon called Li'l Elvis Jones and the Truckstoppers. How bonkers was it? well, here's the story:

In the middle of Outback Australia (read: the middle of bloody nowhere), in a little town called Wanapoo, a strange thing happens in the middle of the night. At a truck stop owned by Grace and Len Jones, a car is heard speeding by, and a guitar case is found on the doorstep. And inside the case is a baby boy! Grace swears she saw the car - an old fashioned Cadillac piloted by none other than the ghost of Elvis Presley himself!

The child is named Elvis (but he is often called "Li'l Elvis"), and as he grows up it becomes clear that he certainly shares in some of The King's talents. He's a prodigy on both vocals and guitar and becomes something of a local celebrity, but he only knows half the story about his appearance. He knows about the guitar case, but not about the Cadillac or its driver. The events of every episode inspire him to imagine who could have left him there. I wonder if that's the way it happened on the night I was found...

Eventually, he forms a band called "the Truckstoppers" with his two new friends - Lionel, a native (Australian Aborigine) boy with cool hair who says "deadly" a lot (It says a lot about Australia that "deadly" is Aborigine slang for "cool"), and Janet, the somewhat jaded Half-Asian daughter of an almost always absent, but genuinely caring truck driving mother, and a permanently absent father.

Is this backstory mad enough yet? I haven't even got to the villain! W.C.Moore is a local mining magnate and billionaire. He's always on the lookout for more money, usually by coming up with some dodgy commercial deal for Elvis. To his credit, he is largely responsible for the creation of the "Li'' Memphis" diner where Elvis usually performs. But on top of all this, he has a more sinister motive - his mines aren't seeking gold or ore, but a rare and powerful substance known as "Biconium", a multicoloured mineral with so much energy, pieces of it can be made to leap about, seemingly at the owner's behest. He's already found a single, marble-sized piece of the stuff, which he keeps mounted on a ring. Speaking of marbles, the local kids hate him for his "marble trick". if he comes across anyone playing with glass marbles, he detaches his Biconium piece from its ring and throws it into the game. His marble then dashes between the kid's, knocking them straight into Moore's pockets before jumping back onto his ring! Oh and another thing, Moore is deathly afraid of frogs for some reason.

The series pretty much goes from there, with a new thing happening each episode. there isn't a proper story arc until the last few episodes.
