Elvis impersonator goes for world record

Canada's Suresh Joachim is attempting to break the Guinness world record for non-stop Elvis impersonation at a shopping mall.

This is one positive thinking guy and it's all for a good cause.

"At 8 a.m. yesterday in Brampton's Shoppers World mall, Joachim, wearing a white suit with black and gold trim, an extravagant wig and sunglasses, launched into "Heartbreak Hotel." He hopes to keep going until 3 p.m. tomorrow, a total of 55 hours, shattering the existing record of 43 hours, 11 minutes."

According to the rules, Joachim has a time limit in which to sing each song.

"Trying to learn them has been the most difficult part," he said in a phone interview before his marathon. "

Elvis impersonator record broken in Parkes

I was interested to read that that this Elvis impersonator world record was broken at the Australian Elvis festival.

Up until now, Canada's Collingwood Elvis Festival had held the record for the most Elvis impersonators singing at once being 78.

But in Parkes, Australia, 147 "men in big black hair, sunglasses and jumpsuits smashed that record when they delivered a simultaneous rendition of Love Me Tender in Parkes yesterday."
