For some reason, no one ever makes these jokes about Music/ElvisCostello. Perhaps it's because he doesn't have Presley's far more bitter, cynical sense of humor.

** In ''Literature/DeathMasks'', Harry Dresden once goes on a tangent on how more than one Elvis could be worded as ''Elvises'' and then notes how that sounds like he was talking like [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]] trying to say "Elves". Gentleman Johnny Marcone is more than slightly bemused and confused after hearing this particular tangent.

* In ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'' fan fiction, the two greatest Elven musicians, Daeron and Maglor, are still assumed to be in the Hither Lands, and often presented as rock musicians. Though usually they aren't associated with any real-life musician (and if they are, it will be someone more recent than Elvis). For [[MostFanficWritersAreGirls some reason]] they (especially Maglor) are usually depicted as penniless street musicians or otherwise total unknowns. In the original text elves are said to be able to essentially make multimedia presentations with their voices alone, because their powerful souls and minds are more closely aligned. This is sometimes depicted in the fan stories and sometimes ignored.

The incongruity between the decidedly ethereal and long-lived elves and the earthy and [[SexDrugsAndRockAndRoll hedonistic]] and [[UndignifiedDeath very much mortal]] Music/ElvisPresley arguably just makes it funnier. Of course, [[OurElvesAreDifferent some versions of elves]] ''are'' earthy and hedonistic, in which case it makes an awful lot of sense. And sometimes this is [[{{Glamour}} all an act]] designed to let them [[ChangelingTale steal human children]], which just proves the MoralGuardians were [[TheNewRockAndRoll right about that hip-thrusting Lothario the whole time]].
