| abstract | - History documents that following the so-called British Invasion of the 1960s, Presley's popularity had waned somewhat. Craving renewed fame and needing to finance his forty a day coke cheeseburger addiction, Elvis orchestrated a large-scale death hoax allowing him to retreat to a remote country spot in Panama. It is now public knowledge that Elvis was replaced by an impersonator in the early seventies to fulfil his rigorous touring schedule, resulting in the impersonator's drug and cheeseburger-induced heart attack. However, despite the man himself admitting on numerous occasions he in fact 'did not die' (most famously in an episode of Saturday Night Live in 1993), there is a select group that maintains that there are many inconsistencies in this theory and Elvis is, in actual fact, dead. The 'believers' are insistent that evidence such as clues in his song lyrics, album artwork and even sightings of The Ghost of Elvis prove that the King has 'left the building'. 'Elvis Is Dead' is often linked to the backmasked message in the song "That's Alright (Mama)". If you start playing it backwards around 1:23, then you will hear the man himself taking an order from Wendy's '..yes ma'am.. cheese.. cheeseburger.. and cheesy fries.. 6.49?'. At the end there is an almost inaudible 'chocolate sauce, chocolate sauce'. Cheeseburgers, cheesy fries and chocolate sauce all begin with 'ch' which are, infamously, the two letters of death. According to the theory, Presley's family have been going to great pains to cover up his death since the late 1970s in order to profit financially from his enormous fame; Elvis is currently represented by a large number of impersonators who cater for the numerous television and other media appearances which he is supposedly asked to fulfil.
