1. Dead Elvis is a work for clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, violin, double bass and percussion, composed in 1993 by Michael Daugherty, associate professor of music at the University of Michigan. It uses a medieval Latin chant for the Day of Judgment as the principal musical theme and pits two different Elvis Presley images: "the hip, beautiful, genius, thin, rock-and-roll Elvis vs. the vulgar, cheesy, fat, stoned, Las Vegas Elvis." The work was commissioned by Boston Musica Viva and Chuck Ullery, principal bassoonist with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.

2. Dead Elvis was the first album by British band Death in Vegas. It was released in 1997.
