Thanks to John E for spotting this -

Obvious takeoff of Elvis in many places here:

Perfect , right down to the Nieve type piano sound.

Brilliant!

Especially like the cursing-god-for-lost-glasses bit at the end.

Haha, excellent.

He has a frighteningly large mouth.

It's huge, isn't it? Very funny though. He got a lot of EC's mannerisms down pat, including that slack-jawed, open-mouth look. Good stuff. I love him staggering around on a tennis court in the middle of winter - no less ridiculous than some of the antics on EC's early videos.

I agree with both of you. I think there's some affectionate joshing of Elvis' videos. I spotted quite a few.

Really good running up to the net as if he's going to jump over it but chickening out. Very much like Elvis on the beach looking like he's gonna run into the water but finally taking a very funny left turn in Oliver's Army. (or was that PL&U?)
