Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What item was Elvis said to collect from every city he performed in?

Answer: Police Badge

On occasion Elvis would dress in a police uniform and patrol the Memphis freeways, presumably wearing one of his badges, and stop motorists when he considered they were driving irresponsibly.

2. How would Elvis travel from his home in Memphis to Hollywood to make his films?

Answer: Bus

Elvis was not fond of flying and would usually elect to travel by private bus. On many occasions he would actually drive the bus himself, stopping to pick up hitchhikers enroute - how surprised those hitchhikers must have been!

Answer: Mashed ripe banana

According to his cookbook, "Are You Hungry Tonight", this was Elvis' favourite meal, which he ate with a knife and fork.

4. After a redecoration program, Elvis insisted on black silk bed linen, why did he subsequently change his mind?

Answer: He fell out of bed

Apparently the silk was too slippery, and Elvis fell out of bed banging his head. Thereafter he would only have cotton bed linen.

5. Elvis gave the great boxer, Muhammad Ali, an embossed robe, which Ali wore in 1973 during his match against Ken Norton. He never wore it again. Why?

Answer: He lost the bout and considered it bad luck

On March 31, 1973, Ali lost against Ken Norton. Being the first time he had worn this robe, which as well as Ali's name also bore the words "The People's Champion", he decided it was a bad omen and never wore it again.

6. What was Elvis' natural hair colour?

Answer: Blond

Elvis initially dyed his hair black to emulate Roy Orbison. After his death the last hand to touch his body was that of hairdresser Larry Geller, just blackening up his hair with mascara!

7. According to his High School records, what was Elvis' IQ?

Answer: 70

Humes High School in Memphis have Elvis' IQ at 70 - apparently his ambition was to be an electrician.

8. If you are in Switzerland and dress up to look like Elvis, what is it illegal to do?

Answer: Mow your front lawn

I can see how that might be a tad off-putting to your neighbour, but probably not if you can sing!

9. What was Elvis' first utterance in a movie?

Answer: Whoa

In "Love Me Tender" the word "whoa" was Elvis' first word spoken on film, and that to a horse - nicely done though!

10. During his later stage appearances what did Elvis make a habit of carrying in his boot?

Answer: A gun

During Hotel stays whilst on tour Elvis had been known, if he didn't like a certain television programme, to pull out a gun and shoot the TV set. His entourage, known as the Memphis Mafia, would try to cover up these outbursts by buying the TV sets and removing them from the Hotels before the damage was noted.
