ElvisPresley

Elvis Presley.

Elvis Presley was discovered by Ford Prefect and Arthur Dent singing in a bar called The Domain of The King (which was named after him) on an arid alien planet. In most versions of the story, he was not actually named, but it is fairly obvious who he is.

Elvis owned a pink spaceship, covered with chrome, with the initials 'EP' on it. He informed Ford that, despite a popular rumour, he was not abducted by aliens — he went with them willingly.
