"Elvis" sounds a lot like "elvish" and looks a lot like "elves", making for a comedically useful stock pun. The incongruity between the decidedly ethereal and long-lived elves and the earthy and very much mortal and hedonistic Elvis Presley arguably just makes it funnier. Of course, some versions of elves are earthy and hedonistic, in which case it makes an awful lot of sense. And sometimes this is all an act designed to let them steal human children, which just proves the Moral Guardians were right about that hip-thrusting Lothario the whole time. His immortal supernatural heritage may be used to explain his "disappearance"; that is, Elvis is not dead, he just went to the Undying Lands. Then again, sometimes there's no significance to it at all, it's just funny. For some reason, no one ever makes these jokes about Elvis Costello. Perhaps it's because he doesn't have Presley's far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. |

In The Silmarillion fan fiction, the two greatest Elven musicians, Daeron and Maglor, are still assumed to be in the Hither Lands, and often presented as rock musicians. Though usually they aren't associated with any real-life musician (and if they are, it will be someone more recent than Elvis). For some reason they (especially Maglor) are usually depicted as penniless street musicians or otherwise total unknowns. In the original text elves are said to be able to essentially make multimedia presentations with their voices alone, because their powerful souls and minds are more closely aligned. This is sometimes depicted in the fan stories and sometimes ignored. | |

In The Dresden Files: In Death Masks, Harry Dresden goes on a tangent on how more than one Elvis could be worded as Elvises and then notes how that sounds like he was talking like Gollum trying to say "Elves". Gentleman Johnny Marcone is more than slightly bemused and confused after hearing this particular tangent. He also once accused Thomas of dressing too much like fat end-of-his-career Elvis. Thomas is a vampire, not an elf, but White Court vampires have a similar too-pretty-to-be-human allure. |

Discworld: Multiple: In Soul Music, everyone keeps asking Buddy (a parody of every dead rock star, ever, but especially Buddy Holly as, you know, Buddy's real name "Imp y Celyn" translates as "Bud of the Holly") if he's elvish. (Which is worrisome for Buddy in certain kinds of company, because dwarves and trolls have a standing blood feud against elves.) At the end of the book, after he's saved from an alternate universe in which he dies in a carriage accident, someone comments that there's a new guy working in the chip shop, and she could swear he looks elvish. In the Animated Adaptation, he looks and dresses like Elvis. A quick gag in The Shepherd's Crown, when the dying down of an elf's glamour and imperiousness is described as "the elvish was leaving the building". |

In World of Warcraft, one April Fools joke introduced the Bard class - a new hero class which would attack enemies via Guitar Hero minigame. Had this actually been introduced, one could have expected to find lots of Night Elf or Blood Elf rockstars Bards. As a Shout-Out to this trope, the Bards on the World of Warcraft announcement were Blood Elves. Sig Nicious is an actual in-game bard of sorts, being the rhythm guitarist of the Warcraft mascot band Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain. |
