`YALEHAUS RAWK:' SWEDISH ELVIS IMPERSONATOR BECOMING CULT HIT

ORNSKOLDSVIK, Sweden (Wireless Flash) -- A Swedish Elvis impersonator is proving anyone can turn a love for the King into legal tender. For the past eight years, 47-year-old Eilert (Ay-lart) Pilarm has been performing Elvis tunes in a thick Swedish accent -- but he looks more like a middle-aged Rod Steiger than Elvis. It doesn't matter because Pilarm is turning into a cult hit and fans all over the world are packing clubs to hear him sing "Yalehaus Rawk" and "Lob Me Tenda." The Swedish crooner says he credits Presley's songs with helping him recover from a long illness, so he's repaying the favor by dedicating his life to Elvis' music. Pilarm is also planning a pilgrimage to Graceland where he hopes to get Lisa Marie Presley to record a duet with him.
