I saw the Who a few weeks back. They have a song called 'Real Good Looking Boy' which is about Elvis. That set me to thinking about all the other songs out there that are about Mr P. I found a web site that has collected 232 such songs, and on a cursory glance I spotted at least three I know of that were left out. So, what would a mixtape of such gems sound like? Let's find out.... Please be advised, some of the more obvious selections are not here because that is the kind of man I am.
