Wikipedia - list of fictional Elvis impersonators

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fictional_Elvis_impersonators

The beauty of Wikipedia is that we can all update it..

They say:

"Wikipedia is written collaboratively by volunteers from all around the world. With rare exceptions, its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the Internet, simply by clicking the edit this page link."

On this list you'll find a list of fictional Elvis impersonators. The classes are professional Elvis impersonators (that is, people who do it for a living) and fictional characters who do it as a hobby or a one-time event.

Dancing Japanese Elvis impersonators

Isn't it amazing what you can find on the web? It's all just mind-boggling - I found this clip on youtube.com - what also amazes me is how Elvis has hit such a chord with all people around the world. And I can't tell you how many times a day I hear the name "Ëlvis" being said - it could be on the radio when someone makes mention of him out of the blue or I could be channel surfing and then hear his name again in the most unusual context .. uncanny if you ask me. How many people have made this impression on humankind? We are all just in awe..
