“Love Me Tender.” “Hound Dog.” “Suspicious Minds.” Those are some of the songs tribute artists typically perform during Elvis Week<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But “Ito Eats”? The song from the 1961 movie “Blue Hawaii” that celebrates the rapacious appetite of a local “eating boy” who “never get enough… fish and poi”? Who “eat everything, he don’t care what\/ He even eat the shell from the coconut”?<\/p>\n

Described by host Tom Brown as Elvis’ “silliest” song (and remember, other candidates include “Yoga Is as Yoga Does” and “(There’s) No Room to Rhumba in a Sports Car”), “Ito Eats” likely only would appear on the set list of an event recognizing the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s movie career<\/a>. In fact, that was the case Aug. 13, when professional Elvis tribute artist Dean Z and band performed “Ito Eats” for about 600 fans inside the Graceland Soundstage, the entertainment venue located across the street from the Elvis Presley mansion.<\/p>\n
