Dolly Parton Teams with Elvis for Tennessee Ad

Elvis has been dead for 29 years but that hasn’t stopped advertisers from exploiting him.

Dolly Parton is to co-star in an advert with Elvis Presley. The country singer has been paired up with the late music legend for a commercial promoting their home state of Tennessee, in the US.

The chart topping music icons – who have notched up 43 number ones between them – will be shown riding together in a red convertible car through the wizardry of computer technology. The scene, which is taken from Presley’s 1967 movie ‘Clambake’, sees original actress Shelly Fabares replaced by the busty star.

In the advert, Parton says: “I’ve played a lot of stages over the years, but there’s one I never get tired of that’s set for a great time day or night – Tennessee.”

And, while she’s undeniably well endowed, Parton is 60 years old. She looks great for her age, to be sure, but its well past time to retire the boob jokes. Indeed, Johnny Carson did precisely that years ago.
