August 2002 is the 25th, or silver, anniversary of the death of rock \u27n\u27 roll singer Elvis Presely. Elvis died in August 1977, and has been the subject of two previous articles of mine in Word Ways, Elvis Lives in February 1993, and Elvis for Everyone in May 1993. Prompted by recent trips to Tupelo, Mississippi (his birthplace) and Memphis, Tennessee, I decided to take a new look at the wordplay that could be spun around some of the words, names and song titles in Elvis\u27 life and career. My findings are presented here twenty-five years after Elvis\u27 death
