They've cheated with the audio by using an imitator.

But where are the Elvis visuals from ?

Very interesting !

My idea was to have actual TV ads with the original audio !

Stars of yesteryear . . .

Mind you, that background music is quite catchy - could make a hit record.

Around the time the "ELV1S" compilation was released, there was a TV commercial for some car that featured very prominently in the background take 3 of "(Now And Then There's) A Fool Such As I". The killer Hank Garland guitar intro was heard very loud at the beginning of the commercial.

If you remember, that compilation included a couple of wrong versions, one of which was that alternate take of the stellar 1958 Elvis recording. That same take had previouly been released on "Essential Elvis - Volume 3".

I can't remember which car was the subject of the commercial, though.

This one ran for years in Ireland on a great many times every week. To be followed by another Elvis song, for years again!

From this year, 2020. Clever CGI and impersonator Dean Z as a body double. Great ad!
