Song of the Whale

Do you enjoy the music of Elvis Presley? Do you love whales? Folks at the International Fund for Animal Welfare are hoping to capitalize on Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's love of Elvis's music to save some of the whales caught by Japanese fishermen every year.

Koizumi is going to Graceland today to pay his respects. IFAW has put out a press release saying it's sending six Elvis impersonators to meet Koizumi and perform a "special version" of Elvis's hit song, "Don't Be Cruel."

No word yet on whether Elvis has reached out from the grave and saved any whales.
