"Elvis Is Dead" is a song by Living Colour featuring Little Richard off the album Time's Up. Before, during, and after Little Richard's spoken-word performance, many voices speak the song title, concluded by one announcing, "Elvis has left the building!" After, the band twisted the line "Maybe I've a reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland" from Paul Simon's "Graceland" to yield the refrain, "I've got a reason to believe we all won't be received at Graceland." They also quote Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" in stating, "Elvis was a hero to most," but diverge in adding, "But that's beside the point."
The 12" had 'Elvis Is Dead ' as the B-Side to the single ' Love Rears It's Ugly Head'. 'Elvis Is Dead remixes were done by Zanzibar DJ and worldwide house legend Tony Humphries. They were smooth and groovy, not as edgy as you would expect from a Living Colour remix, but the remix worded big-time.
