Elvis in Return of the King on stage with silhouettes dancing behind him
Netflix's new Elvis Presley documentary, Return of the King: The Fall and Rise of Elvis Presley, chronicles Presley's 1968 Comeback Special, but it also reveals a surprising detail about Presley's perception of one of his most famous nicknames. Compared to other movies and documentaries about Elvis Presley's life, Return of the King is much more focused on this specific performance and the impact it had on his career than it is on Presley's personal life.
What Elvis Had To Say About "Elvis The Pelvis" This Nickname Was Certainly Not One Presley Chose For Himself Close ✕ Remove Ads Presley's singing and dancing are recognizable the world over now, but when he began his musical career in 1954, he captivated and scandalized audiences with his gyrating and dance moves, which many found to be overtly sexual.
In Return of the King, Presley can be heard in voice-over discussing the nickname "Elvis the Pelvis" that quickly became popularized in newspapers across the country due to the way Elvis danced on stage. Sounding resigned to his fate, Presley says: This response to the nickname is somewhat surprising, given how well-known the name was then and remains to this day, but that is precisely the irony Return of the King reveals about so-called Elvis the Pelvis.
