Elvis lives on... through the medium of song

Scouting For Girls prompted me to kick off a list of songs that mention or allude to Elvis, e.g.

  • Scouting For Girls - Elvis Ain't Dead (Coz I Heard Him On The Radio)
  • Kirsty McColl - There's A Guy Works Down The Chipshop Swears He's Elvis
  • Kate Bush - King Of The Mountain
  • Thin Lizzy - a track off Black Rose (have to find out which one) has "The King is dead. The King of Rock 'n' Roll is dead" in the fade out.
  • Cher, Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis
  • Paul Simon - Graceland
  • Colorblind James Experience - I'm Considering A Move To Memphis
  • Elvis is Dead - Peter & The Test Tube Babies (YouTube)

but when I looked into it,
someone had done it already
, and quite comprehensively.

Paul Simon - Graceland not Gracelands. Elvis will come and haunt you if you dare to call it Gracelands
