EDIT: Well thought out concepts of Gods and gods.
Nudge seems to be a trickster god, but she'd open a Church of Elvis just for the yucks.

Hey! Let's not take the name of The King in vain.
Thank yuh!

Hey I know there IS a church of Elvis in Portugal, at least... not a building, but deffo a church...

There's also the 24 Hour Church of Elvis in Portland Oregon, which inspired my remark.

"Church of Elvis"?

This isn't Babylon 5, is it?

Ah, the arrival of The Three Kings onto the station?

Spider Robinson wrote a story some years ago, involving an (apparent) time traveler from an era when there was indeed a Church of Elvis.

There was also, it seems, another major religion in that era, one rather strongly opposed to the King. I don't recall the formal names of its deities, but you could call them The Four without being very wrong. If somebody asked you "Are you Fab?" you could tell they were a member of the Church of The Four.

O... M... G... THAT song done by ELVIS!... omg... the first link was ok, i remember him doing it in the Mario Brothers movie, but i knew about him even before that, but this one is just... wow, what will they come up with next!?

I've heard the first one before, but like scantronb, first time for the second one. That reminded me that, fifteen or more, years ago one of the tabloid shows had some sort of 'Is he still alive?" week. At the end of each show they had an Elvis impersonator do a current hit in the style of the King. I would have, and still would, pay real American dollars for a CD like that...

[Fairportfan]

Mojo Nixon and Skid Roper, folks.

Mojo is a True Crazy.

I. will. be. having. nightmares. for. weeks. Thank. you. verrrrry. much.

[Jabberwonky]

A dream about the King a nightmare? I think not!

...I think I need to read that.

It's called "Lifehouse". At least part of it is online on the Baen Books website.
