    I was listening to the radio this morning while driving, and the REM song "Man on the Moon" came on. It features an Elvis impression in the middle (actually a reference to Andy Kauffman's Elvis impression). There should be tons of these....another example is Paul McCartney/Wings-Name and Address. What else can you think of?

    As the jam begins, Jimi gets in the mood and does a couple of Elvis impressions with humourous quotes of "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Trouble".

    There is also a bit of the King on Queen's "Man On The Prowl" from The Works.

    I am going to throw this one out there as well, The Knack: "Tell Me Your Mine"

    How about Ronnie McDowell "The King Is Gone." Or Jerry Lee Lewis "Save The Last Dance For Me " (with Jimmy Ellis.)

    Does any Dread Zeppelin song count? No? Okay, I'll keep thinking.

    Often in the middle of performing "God's Comic", Elvis Costello would do "the songs Elvis would have covered if he would have lived", in his (other) Elvis imitation.

    Among others, Elvis would have covered "Heart of Glass", but he wouldn't have sung "ass" cuz the King would never cuss on a record. :)

    "Lonely This Christmas" by Mud



    UK Christmas no. 1 for 1974 - and to this day a surprisingly large amount of people actually think it's Elvis (same with Queen's "Crazy Little Thing Called Love.")

    This is a hit single by a great Italian band, Elio e le Storie Tese, not only an Elvis impression, but in fact it's Suspicious Minds played backwards!
