I once heard a George J. song on Willie's Roadhouse sirius channel, where the narrator is saddened by the death of Elvis, and since he just broke up with his girl he pours whiskey in a Flintstones glass.

The tagline: "Yabba dabba do / The King is gone / And so are you!" a country breakup song, Elvis tribute AND novelty chorus all in one! Why it took them 30 years to give him a Kennedy Center Honor for that is criminal!! ;)
