* [[Generation Xerox]]: The vicious cycle of poverty implied at the end of "In The Ghetto."
* [[Hell -Bent for Leather]]: The Elvis 1968 special: The man rocks both the music and his black leather jacket and tight pants.
* [[Hotblooded Sideburns]]

* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: Elvis Presley met [[The Beatles]] once. No one recorded it. Cue agonised groans of despair from fans.
* [[Real Men Love Jesus]]
